"this is probably choclairs best cd so far. he did great on ice cold, screwed up on memoirs of blake savage (cept for skunk, love 'em all and light it up which was good). it has nice song like till now with the Circle, all i need, thought train, tell em, and hot this year. he has new thoughts with this album and got rid of the infamous line, face down ass up. he has killer beats with saukrates producing and parts of the circle do little parts in each song (which is sweet), and also has adlibs and big sox from Big Black Lincoln. great cd u should buy it."

"Choclair's latest album is "Flagrant" (2003). I noticed in the editorial it mentioned this as being his second, it is actually his third (Ice Cold, Memoirs of of Blake Savage). Choclair releases this on his own label Greenprint through EMI. Executive produced by Kareem Blake (Choclair) & Lee Fredericks this album runs in at twelve tracks and has appearances from: Big Black Lincoln, Solitair,Saukrates, Ro Dolla, Andreena Mill and Niya Melodie. "All I Need in This World Is You" starts the album off, with the track title being sung in a chorus. The first song I heard off this cd was the single "Back Where I Stayed" which got a lot of play on local radiostation 94.5 here. This is an exceptional song where Choclair gets introspective about himself, his younger days, growing up and where he is right now. The beat and background chorus are excellent on this track. This is followed up by another outstanding track called "Skyline", Choclairs lines on this memorable as is the beat and chorus to it. This track also has a nice video. I am not really feeling majority of the rest of the album, lyrically the content does little for me, talking about girls, dropping snoop sounding lines or other lines like "I sent you walking with your Walkman" (Fire) are unentertaining and I personally dont find them worth listening to. One exception is "Watchu Go'n Do", I like how Choclair shows love to different cities from his hometown Toronto to Montreal to Van to NY. Really there are a limited amount of Canadian Rappers out these days, so I always enjoy checking out there albums, I hope that other members of the Circle will get there own albums out soon, artists like Solitaire & Saukrates (who's Def Jam release is being looked forward to by people on both sides of the border). Choclairs third album "Flagrant" is decent, highlight being the albums two singles."
