Toronto, ON — Widely celebrated as one of the foundational voices of Canadian hip-hop, Choclair is set to reassert his legacy with the release of his new album Transit Music, arriving November 28, 2025. A pioneer whose influence helped shape the very identity of northern rap, Choclair’s return marks a defining moment for a culture he helped build from the ground up.

Emerging in the late ’90s, Choclair captured the nation with his breakout hit “Let’s Ride,” a track that not only dominated airwaves but also signaled the arrival of Toronto’s golden era. His unmistakable blend of street poetry, charisma, and consciousness set him apart as an artist with purpose—someone who could translate the rhythm of city streets into national anthems. Over the years, his contributions have earned him four JUNO Awards and a legacy enriched by collaborations with Canada’s most influential figures, including Kardinal Offishall, Saukrates, and Rascalz. His catalogue is often credited with bridging underground hip-hop grit with the polish and reach of mainstream success, long before Canadian rap became globally recognized.

Now, more than two decades into his career, Choclair returns with a project that is as raw as it is reflective. Transit Musicis a testament to growth, resilience, and the relentless grind that continues to define the artist and the city that raised him. The album brings together a dynamic, cross-generational lineup featuring Ol’ Dirty Bastard, Bishop Brigante, KXNG Crooked, Saukrates, Classified, and more—an ensemble that mirrors the movement, diversity, and energy at the core of Choclair’s artistry. True to its name, Transit Music is an album about motion: the motion of life, the motion of the journey, and the motion of a culture that never stops evolving.

With this release, Choclair not only reaffirms his role as a pillar of Canadian hip-hop but also introduces a fresh chapter that blends wisdom with hunger, history with innovation. Transit Music stands as both a reflection of where he has been and a powerful declaration of where he is headed.

Transit Music will be available everywhere on November 28, 2025.
