These tracks are inventive high energy hiphop, rap tracks with style and radio friendly quality. The beats and music is smooth and melodic full of working progressions and great feels and attitudes. The lyrics and raps are full and very impressive. The raps are positive and emotionally driven at times which adds a lot of depth to the material as a whole. The singing choruses and harmonies are beautifully done, and sung with soul. The album gets hard and heavy when it needs to, and relaxed and smooth when it needs to as well. There is plenty of diversity on this disc and everything is done with a different style and even on the same track at times. Inventive rhythms and good show of talent and style. This disc is full of well written, well mixed and produced, smart , well performed tracks.

Bio
Hip-hop duo Chef Rocka is the hottest pair of rap artists on the scene today. Their combined talent merges in a scorching hot fusion of hip-hop energy, delivering unbelievable hooks and edgy lyricism. They hail from New Jersey and they’re proud of it. The two are a striking pair, bringing distinct influences to bear on a common goal. Chef is just a crazy white boy that likes to get the place rowdy and Rocka adds some Nigerian energy as a hype man.
The term “keeping it real” is bandied about freely, but few really appreciate the depth of what it means. Chef Rocka knows exactly what it’s all about. The street appeal of their music does not rely on cliché references to the ghetto. Rather, it lies in the fact that these emcees keep themselves rooted in the real, focused on the true grit of life. “I grew up in a time when everyone told you to ‘keep it real’,” says Chef. “So that’s what I do – speak about life as I know it.”
And part of keeping it real is staying in touch with one’s spirituality, facing the deeper reality of life. Though Chef Rocka has their share of spiritual references in their songs, they try to give an honest portrayal of life as Christians. They claim that spirituality is the greatest source of power for their art. “I’d say that God influences my songs the most. I like to say that I plagiarize my songs from God,” says Chef.
Chef Rocka has done shows with audiences of more than 500, and is currently gearing up for a tour with R&B phenomenon A Natural. When they’re not playing live, new material is always in the works. The duo has announced the impending release of their first full length album, “The Frankenstein Anthology” which will release sometime in 2008. Until then, sampler CDs will be available at shows and online. The pair is currently working with A&R Select, the leading indie A&R firm in Hollywood, CA.
