Choc Nitty Biography:
Choc Nitty, a Watts, CA, USA native was born Therell Gamboa on December 10, 1981.

In 1999, Choc Nitty along with three underground artists, Six Reasons, K.P. and T Dogg formed the notorious Snowman Cliq.
Choc Nitty was raised by his mom who was a single mother in a shared one bedroom apartment with his nine siblings. As the third eldest son, Choc Nitty instinctively took on the responsibility of helping to raise and provide for his siblings. However, the streets and selling drugs quickly became his way of life. After being arrested for selling crack, he realized his passion, music. Choc Nitty was later featured on Good Magazine’s documentary: On Skid Row Series pt. 3: Drugs.

Performing their ground breaking hits, ‘Shake It Like Jello’ and ‘Fresh’; sharing the stage with established artists, Young Buck, Too Short, E40, Chingy, Digital Underground, The Outlaws, Lil Flip, and Juvenile to name a few.
As a recent MySpace featured music artist and a highly anticipated underground rising icon, Choc Nitty landed the number three spot for the West Coast and also landed the top twenty-three of the entire U.S. for his hit single ‘Fresh’ produced by The Key. Choc Nitty’s hit single from his forthcoming album ‘Listen and Learn’ hit rotation on one of LA’s largest hip-hop radio stations, 93.5 K-Day.
