Chubb Rock – Don’t Sleep (CDS) (1998) (FLAC + 320 kbps)

Born in Kingston, Jamaica and bred in the New York City borough of Brooklyn, Chubb Rock – known for his authoritative and nimble flow, as well as an imposing frame – was a key rap artist of the late 80’s and early 90’s. He attended Brown University but abandoned his pre-med studies in favor of a music career.

Supported by DJ and producer Howie Tee, his first cousin, he signed to the Select label – home of U.T.F.O. and Whistle, among others – and released his first album, “Chubb Rock Featuring Hitman Howie Tee”, in 1988. A remix of the album’s “Caught Up”, issued on 12″, didn’t chart but made a significant impact.

The following year’s “And the Winner Is”, also made with Howie Tee, reached the Top 30 of Billboard’s R&B Albums chart, highlighted by “Ya Bad Chubbs”, which hit number 15 on the publication’s Rap Singles chart and was regularly aired on Yo! MTV Raps.
