REMIX NEWS COMPILED BY DARRYL RODWAY · More good news in Canadian hip hop: on June 30, Virgin Music Canada officially announced the signing of Toronto's Choclair for a worldwide release. Representing T-dot, Choclair's projects to date include the Juno Award-winning 1996 EP What It Takes and five singles, all released via Kneedeep Entertainment. Choclair can also be found on DJ Premiere's underground hip-hop compilation, New York Reality Check 101, and his vocals have been sampled by Gang Starr for a track off their latest album Moment Of Truth. The Source featured Choclair in its Unsigned Hype column's top-100 list. Recently Rap Pages featured an in-depth story on Toronto's hip-hop scene, citing Choclair as "one of the best MCs to watch for from north of the border." His current single, Internal Affairs, has been No. 1 on the HITS Underground Rap Attack chart for the past four weeks, while Northern Touch was a No. 1 video with heavy rotation on MuchMusic and is now in rotation on Black Entertainment Television. "After two years of watching Choclair destroy mics, I can't express how proud we are to be associated with the Chiz-Chiznocker," said Russ Hergert, Virgin's national Urban music marketing director, "and to be playing a leading role in developing the Canadian urban music scene, which is about to explode on a global basis."
