I think that cd iz excellent ! It really represent an emcee that have a lot of potential. Especially the track with GURU of Ganstarr is really a good song. That emcee just keep it real and the way he tells things really blow me up. It 's really a phat joint buy it today

Choclair's album (like Harold says) is mediocre. He's better unsigned than he is now...there is no real lyrics. I am glad though to see some MC's from Canada along with Saukrates. Choclair just seems to mix West Coast Hot Boyz with Gangstarr. If you like that, then fine. But if you've heard Choclair prior to the record deal, you'd think he could have come out sounding fresher. Keep it coming Canada, you might blow up like Vince Carter...?

Choclair has some great rhymes and an almost unmatched flow, but the beats on this album are very simple, as are the insturmentals. I don't know, maybe that's the Canadian style. If it is, this is probably the last Canadian album I am purchasing, as I prefer the sounds of the dirty south which are very different from what Choclair is. But his flow and rhymes are what hold this album down, and if that is what you look for in an album, then this is a must have.

Choclair just couldn't get the job done on this one. Too many songs sound alike and the features are alright but mediocre at best.

This album is a weapon. I'm sure if he would've had the right buzz, alot of these rappers would've been in trouble. I'd bet any amount of money that this Canadian artist can take the majority of todays hottest NY rappers to the hole in a freestyle battle. Its a shame how this man got no buzz over here in the east. This album will be considered a classic to me.

I am very hesitant to give any album 5 stars, but this cd certainly deserves it. It captures the essence of undergound rap, espescially with the smooth flowing beats. What I like the most is that every song on the cd is good. Most good rap cds have at least 5 good songs, but every single song is up to par at a great quality. I only review albums I feel strongly about, and the beats and lyrics of this album are absoultely sensational. If you want a good cd to flow with, check this one out.

Choclair has got some hot tracks on here such as "Lets Ride" "Rubbin" "Jambone". The beats are off the hook and you can just pop it in and let it play till the end (with the exception of skipping the skits and a couple tracks). His style is one of a kind, if I was to compare it to other artists I would say Nas but less lyrical genius.

INTRO - Didnt really need an intro, "ICE COLD" would have been a great 1st track to the album.

I recommend this album to anyone who loves Hip Hop, a decent album to complement your collection.

the only reason why i got this album was because a friend of mine got it and i bought it of him for a dollar i wasn't suprised at how solid this album was but still i think the k-os is the best canadian emc guru of gangstarr works with him along with the saukrates and kardinal this is a solid canadian hip hop album and may have opened up american minds and worldwide minds with this album but maestro freed him into the game by getting an american deal pick this one up or not the choice is yours like black sheep

This album is one of the best for the year 1999 and in Canadian Hip-hop history. Choclairs' rhymes are better than ever and so are the beats. Production wise this album was original and new. Lyrically this album was a stamp in Canadian history. The two hit singles, "Let's Ride" and "Rubbin'" (featuring and Produced by Saukrates)are my favourite songs on the album. Choclair shows his versitillity as a rapper and as an artist without forgetting where he's from, CANADA!

"Wow!" sums it up nicely. With an instant hit 'let's ride', choclair follows with a solid continuation on his album. Canadian hip hop fans listen up. Choclair has one of the most original styles in hip hop today, with a truly hip hop sound and production. With guest appearences by Guru, Saukrates, Solitaire, Rascalz, Kardinal and Memphis Bleek to assist in making a dent in Canadian hip hop history. Note worthy tracks are 'lets ride', 'rubbin', 'jambone', 'bare witness', 'young gunz' and 'da chiznock'.. yet all tracks are sick! trust me, you will not get sick of this cd. if you like gangstarr, rascalz or kurupt, you'll love choclair and ice cold. A well deserved 5 Star performance by Chocleezy.
