Before Black Chiney came to prominence, founding member Supa Dups (born Dwayne Chin-Quee) was a DJ at Miami's Power 96 radio station (WPOW 96.5) for two years, in his early teens.

After a successful stint as one of the top selectors in DC, Bobby Chin moved to Florida where he joined a Tampa-based sound system called Poison Dart, of which Supa Dups was a member.

Black Chiney enjoyed much success in Jamaica as a result of the mixtapes, but in the summer of 2001, they also earned respect from the sound clashes they took part in.

In 2002, at an annual event in Jamaica dubbed Fully Loaded, the reigning "king" Tony Matterhorn lost the sound clash against Black Chiney.

Artists such as Elephant Man, Vybz Kartel, Capleton, Nina Sky and Akon used the riddim, and some of these versions became hit singles.

At 2007's Fully Loaded, Black Chiney spent their entire set insulting event organizer Sharon Burke, who did not pay them for their 2002 appearance.

When Burke cut the group's set short, the crowd became unhappy and, ironically, had to be placated by Tony Matterhorn before the show could continue.

Supa Dups has also done work for the likes of Sean Paul, Rihanna, Snoop Lion, Mary J Blige Drake Tyga and Estelle to name a few.
