Terell Shahid - Chocolate City was the most sultry and soulful album in Austin R&B/soul in 2004. His album stood out due to the live instrumentation from a handful musicians who made contributions on that album. Ter'ell's irresistibly soulful voice and infectiously smooth grooves that are sure to cure any sweet tooth looking for a taste of decadent ear candy. Terell made a respectable name for himself in the R&B/Hip-Hop community of Austin and San Antonio with this album.
The title track Chocolate City is a mid tempo soul funk song with that live sound. The song uses live instrumentation which provide those smooth infectious grooves. King Shahid claims “Austin as a future chocolate city” as he plans a funkified takeover. King Shahid also claims Austin as a “funky city”.
2 Hours After Midnight has an angelic soulful chorus reminiscent of The Delfonics. The song was the beautiful soulful buzz single which featured Angie Fisher. The song definitely has that soul flavor and flair. 2 Hours After Midnight is about people trying to make their way through life during hard times. You may not be where you want to be and get there yet. You don’t have the money you wanted. That’s when you know who your real friends. It’s one of those slice of life songs and is another.
Come On Baby has a D’Angelo type of vibe and sound with the funky guitars. The song is dedicated to all of the beautiful women.
I rate this album 5/5*****!!
