What sets
Chocolate Supa Highway immediately apart from the previous album
Home is its sound -- boasting a murky, bass-heavy atmosphere clearly influenced by the rise of trip-hop, the album lends
Michael Franti's politically-charged raps a cinematic distinction missing from his previous efforts. Spanning from R&B-textured urban grooves to jagged rap anthems,
Chocolate Supa Highway is no less challenging or confrontational than its predecessor, but for the most time
Franti's music bears an importance equal to his message. ~ Jason Ankeny
