Chocolate Supa Highway

Michael Franti & Spearhead

Thick upright bass and smoky jazz-rap textures meet sharp social critique. A murky, pre-millennial exploration of urban life and digital anxiety.

March 25, 1997 · Capitol Records

How does Chocolate Supa Highway sound next to the rest of Michael Franti & Spearhead's catalogue?

Upright Bass+3.5σ

The instrumentation foregrounds upright bass far more than the catalogue usually does.
