Choclair
is an international music icon who has set the benchmark for Canadian hip-hop,
laying the foundation for artists such as Drake, Kardinal Offishall, Belly,
Classified, K' naan and Saukrates. Starting at the age of 11, Kareem "Choclair"
Blake followed in his older brother’s footstep, who at the time was the hottest
rapper in the neighborhood. This was the bar for Choclair.
His first release, Twenty-One Years, in December of 1995 was quickly embraced worldwide, establishing him as a standout rapper in the burgeoning Canadian hip-hop scene. Subsequently, five independently owned records from Choclair were featured around the globe on prestigious hip-hop compilations due to the success of Twenty-One Years.
