More on Choclair
Description from Wikipedia:
Kareem Blake, better known by his stage name Choclair, is a Canadian rapper. He helped develop Canadian hip hop in the late 90s, as a member of the Circle crew.
Blake was born in Scarborough, Ontario, in east Toronto. Starting at the age of 11, he followed in his older brother's footsteps, and decided to become a rapper. In 1995, he released his debut album, Twenty One Years, on his own independent label, Kneedeep Records. In June 1998, after having released 11 records (including the first international releases for Saukrates, Kardinal Offishall, Jully Black, Solitair, Marvel, Tara Chase and many more of Toronto's finest), achieving a gold record with the Rascalz for contributing to Canada's hip hop anthem, "Northern Touch", receiving two Juno Awards and a MuchMusic Video Award, Choclair then decided to expand his team and join forces with Virgin Music Canada. In 1999, he signed with an American label, Priority Records.
He subsequently released his third album Ice Cold. The album went gold in 35 days and spawned the hit single "Let's Ride", produced by Kardinal Offishall. It was a major part of the late 90s renaissance of Canadian hip hop. The underground community worldwide quickly embraced Ice Cold, establishing him as a standout rapper in the burgeoning Canadian hip-hop scene. In 2000, he won a SOCAN award for "Let's Ride". He released the single "Skunk" from 2002's Memoirs of Blake Savage which featured Kurupt from Tha Dogg Pound.
"2003 is the rebirth of the independent Choclair, my independent label, and hopefully, the start of a new outlet for the widely untapped Canadian urban talent." Choclair and his new label and partnership aim to raise the standard by which Canadian hip hop is measured.
