Chocolate City is bringing its most loaded roster ever on “GO CRAZY II” with Blaqbonez, Noon Dave, Tar1q, Major AJ and Candy Bleakz all on one explosive record.
Five names on one label track sounds risky. But Chocolate City justifies its run time since every artist adds something that the others can’t provide on their own. Blaqbonez leads with the commercial sensibilities and rap prowess that have made him the label’s most consistent act. At noon, Dave brings a melodic softness to the tune that dials down the rougher edges without losing any impetus. Tar1q and Major AJ both have their portions locked in with the type of confidence that comes from being in the same creative circle for years.
But it’s Candy Bleakz who is the wild card that makes it all better. Her presence brings a fresh depth to “GO CRAZY II” — sharp, unapologetic and entirely in charge of her moment. So the record doesn’t just tack her on as a fifth voice. It really requires her vitality to be whole. That difference is significant on a track where every position must earn its keep.
The Chocolate City familial dynamic is important outside the music as well. Labels who release this type of collective record are either running away from something or celebrating something. GO CRAZY II seems like the latter: a label that has seen the industry evolve and come out the other side still believing in its artists. That confidence is unmistakable.
Their 2026 run spanning “Uloma,” “2MAGARITAS,” “Tonight,” “Suddenly,” and now this demonstrates a label operating with true intentionality rather than just filling a release calendar.
