Big Chuco. The name says it all. Forget what you know about the west coast Latino hip-hop of yesterday, cause today it's all about the "Lifestyles of a Young Veterano", hittin' you with all the unique flavors of the Chicano/Latino experience. From the hard-core cholo, to the playa' homeboy, and from da' club scene to the street scene, this new album paves the way for future MC's to follow. Don't sleep on this latest work from Chuco - afterall, he's got 15 years into the game now, and it shows through in his latest full length album droppin in summer of 2004. The album showcases the diversity for which Latino rappers are not usually known - the album will impress you from beginning to end, and just when you thought you had heard it all..blam!, the next track will catch you by surprise. After a listen or two, you will understand the "lifestyle of a young veterano", - with enough wisdom to appeal to the old school, and plenty for the new school too. If you ask Chuco, he will tell you, "Latino hip-hop never was represented correctly, from way back in the day most of the west coast stuff was missing something. The political stuff was cool, but most of the commercial stuff was too soft and sweet, so now I'm back to do it right". And how he has. With a mix of Spanglish raps, R&B hooks, and melodic beats all on a foundation that is pure hip-hop, it's a sure hit with something to appeal to everybody. Originally part of the Brown Skin Artists crew back in the 90's, he's representin' on his own now, with a few guest appearances from fellow rappers Mr. Bago, Lil' Tut, and ........others hailing from the East Bay Berkeley area. Recorded and mixed in Oakland, CA, the record is a must-have for those looking for a real and refreshing approach to hip-hop, Big Chuco style!
