A little background info…during the Summer of 2001, I was visiting Memphis with two of my siblings on our first trip in the US without our parents.

Oldie Butta GoodieBar: Lola's Birthday Edition!!
Posted by choklitfactory on February 5th, 2010
So, today (February 4th) is my birthday – whoop whoop! Although I still went to work and went through all the painful motions of getting up and staying late, I actually had a great day and felt good about being a year older (gasp!) for once. Another year for me means another year of the [...]

Posted by choklitfactory on September 17th, 2009
Dru Hilll was the GROUP back then. Back when Male R&B groups (not boy bands) were still making it in the R&B world. Before going solo was the trend. Before the ‘Thong Song’. Dru Hill had church choir harmonies, a flamboyant lead singer, jerky dance moves and an incredible talent for crafting melodies. As a [...]

Posted by choklitfactory on August 27th, 2009
I had to post this video for the Lovers. Music Soulchild debuted in 2000 with his album Aijuswanaseing (I Just wanna Sing). This album is one of my favourite debuts of an artist – it had some great songs on there. Love really hit a personal note for many people due to its soulful and [...]
