Along comes the birth of a stunning new soul artist. The debut full length by Choklate is equal parts soul, gritty hip hop and a sound and songwriting standard that we all wish commercial R&B would have grown up to be.
This album is deep, progressive, smart and jam packed with a songwriting like we’ve simply not seen in a very long time. A soul vocalist who speaks on change, love, passion and poverty from a place of realism that somehow isn’t questioned. Not for a second.
This debut is an amalgamation of many sounds from the mind of Seattle’s own super producer, Vitamin D (DJ Nu Mark, De La Soul). D brought in and deftly engineered live horn sections, and full instrumentation over his signature edgy but sexy smooth beats. Add to that a big dose of the great Chali 2na (Jurassic 5) as guest MC on the single ""Waitin'"" (cop that one on 12"" at http://www.ksdmusic.com), and you've got a record to be reckoned with.
Choklate has recently been sighted on releases by Breakestra (as well as being the guest lead vocalist on their Feb/Mar 2006 world tour!), De La Soul, Supernat, Beyond Reality, Boom Bap Project, Framework, Damian Black, Blacksheep, Abstract Rude, Butta Verses, Gift of Gab, Dyme Def and Chali 2na’s solo albums.
Choklate is steady at work on more new music and gearing up for worldwide touring schedule to follow the release of this incredible record.
“I’d like to think that I’m going to be allowed to be apart of the music game changing conceptually…” she says…”everybody should be able to relate to the material that I write, after all I ain’t the only one livin life and I fa sho ain’t the only one writin about it. I just hope to reach those livin life along side me. All I need is my beat, my mic, that stage, the crowd and I’m good…” - Choklate
