Jamaican-born and Brooklyn-bred, Chubb Rock decided to forego his studies at Brown to dedicate himself to music. After his debut in 1987, Chubb released a self-titled LP alongside DJ Hitman Howie Tee the following year. With his distinct baritone flow, intelligent social criticism, and intimidating physical proportions, he won over hip-hop listeners with four impressive albums between 1988 and '92. In 1995, Chubb participated in the Crooklyn Dodgers formation, alongside O.C. and Jeru the Damaja, for the CLOCKERS soundtrack. His career has since slowed down, though he has made memorable cameos on albums by Prince Paul, Mr. Len, and Zimbabwe Legit, and participated in the 2008 Crooklyn Dodgers reunion.

Chubb Rock Artist Snapshot:Product Description

Well respected in New York rap circles, Chubb Rock had plenty of technique -- something there's no shortage of on The One. The album leaves no doubt that his rapping skills are first-rate, but technique only carries Rock so far. Although decent and at times exhilarating, The One isn't a great album. Rock (who often incorporates dancehall reggae) is at his best on excellent message songs like "What's the Word" and "The Night Scene," an arresting description of the horrors that surround drugs. But his boasting raps wear thin after a while. Rock has the chops; it's his lyrics that aren't always memorable. ~ Alex Henderson If You Enjoy "The One (CD)", May We Also Recommend:Customer Reviews for "The One (CD)" by Chubb Rock (Artist)There are no customer reviews yet.
