Sean Kingston releases new "Chance" video featuring Vybz Kartel

Sean Kingston releases a new music video for his "Chance" single featuring Vybz Kartel.

Sean Kingston celebrates his Caribbean roots on his forthcoming 10-track mixtape aptly titled Made in Jamaica, scheduled for release in the next few weeks on his Time Is Money Entertainment label

“The reason we called it Made in Jamaica is because every song on the mixtape was either written or recorded in Jamaica; the songs’ concepts, melody structures, riddims, vibes, everything, is all about embracing the real culture of Jamaica,” Kingston tells Billboard on the phone from his Los Angeles home.

The mixtape includes productions by Murder Beatz, Retro, Xclass, Will I Dap and Jamaica’s Stephen McGregor and Dunwell Productions. Guest artists include actress/singer Zendaya and controversial Jamaican dancehall superstar Vybz Kartel, who is featured on Made in Jamaica’s first single "Chance," produced by Murda Beatz and Frank Dukes.

Sean, who has been friends with Kartel since 2008 and visited him at Kingston General Penitentiary earlier this year (Kartel is currently serving a life sentence for murder), doesn’t know how Kartel recorded his vocals on "Chance." “I don’t know if this was a recent verse that Kartel did in jail or an old verse, I don’t know when or how it was recorded. I got the vocals from his engineer [Mario Dunwell of Dunwell Productions],” Sean explained. “I told Dunwell I wanted to do a new song with Kartel, we were bouncing ideas around for about a year, and he picked 'Chance'; when I got it back, I was like, 'Wow, this is dope, Kartel did his vocals to my beat.' However it was done, it is pretty dope to get a verse from Kartel in his situation because I heard he wasn’t doing verses for anybody and he has turned a lot of big artists.”
