Chocolate City
by Parliament
The 2592nd greatest album of all time
Chocolate City, released in 1975 by Parliament, is a P-Funk era album that blends deep funk grooves, layered vocal harmonies, horn-driven arrangements and psychedelic production under George Clinton's direction. The title track pairs upbeat, danceable rhythms with pointed social commentary about black urban life, while the record as a whole expands the Parliament-Funkadelic sound with prominent bass, rhythmic guitar, clavinet and early synthesizer textures, contributing to the group's conceptual, Afrocentric themes.
