Chino XL is at last ready to release his long-awaited "Poison Pen" album on January 31st 2006. The inspired two-disc set has been in the works now for nearly two years, in which time, Chino says he has had offers of a major deal from Dr. Dre at his Aftermath label as well as a G-Unit contract offering. He has however opted to take his "Poison Pen" on a free and independent basis. He states that it was a major consideration when releasing the album, which is being released by the Activate label, that he wants to make a passionately artistic statement and refuses to be subjected to any outside censorship or control by major label executives:

"We gave Chino a budget, and let him do his thing. Chino delivered an unfiltered, mindbending stream of consciousness statement built on strong songs and hooks." says Jay Warsinske. (Activate label CEO who is releasing the album worldwide.

The album comprises of 18 tracks (including 2 bonus tracks) and feaures special collaborations with Killah Priest (Wu Tang), The Beatnuts, Proof of D-12 and other special guests. The 2CD package is available in a Limited Edition Silver Metallic Foil Cover, enhanced with extras that include a music video and two hidden bonus tracks, including the dramatic buzz track "Nunca". Each album will be personally autographed with a silver ‘poison’ pen by Chino XL himself. As an extra feature the disc, when inserted to a computer, will open up a plethora of extras that surround Chino’s sometimes controversial lyrics that are quite often the subject of discussion by hiphop fans. The second disc is a Special DJ MIX version of the album by L.A.’s Power 106 Mr. Choc, in which Chino also recounts stories behind the making of the tracks, and the soul searching he did when recording this introspective new album: "This is me at my most honest, most heartfelt and most uncompromising when it comes to what’s on my mind" says Chino.

Comprising of all new songs this dramatic, undiluted and daringly bold, essential album includes "Wordsmith," "Beastin’" featuring Killah Priest - which was produced by Carlos Bess, "Even If It Kills Me" - about the perils of the rap lifestyle, produced by One Eye (Ice Cube, Ruff Ryders), "Don’t Fail Me Now" featuring Psycho Les of the Beatnuts and Sin Gutta - produced by Byrd, "Can’t Change Me," and the leadoff track, "All I Wanna Do...(Bout Nothin’)."

The limited edition signed collectors package is limited to the first run and will be available January 31, 2006. Chino XL says: "I hope that in the New Year, hiphop will regain a certain amount of integrity in the current overly corporate state of affairs. Hopefully, we will be able to focus on the artistry again. The machine should not be larger than the architects who create the music."

Chino XL's Poison Pen His Last 'At The Undergroud Level'
Saturday - December 24, 2005

As previous reported, Chino XL is prepping the release of his long-awaited album, Poison Pen (see "Chino XL Finally Releasing Poison Pen") and was happy staying on the indie route, but according to a recent statement released by the rapper that is not the case.

"Poison Pen is my last foray at the underground level," stated Chino. "I'm only putting out Poison Pen because I have fans who want to hear it."

As the rapper moves into the New Year, he plans expand his audience and put his music out to the masses with his next major commercial release.

"I am very happy to now be signed to Sway and Tech's label, Bolo/Universal, and I am looking forward to my major commercial release, Confirmation," said Chino.

Also recently in the news, reports revealed that he has fielded offers from both Dr. Dre's Aftermath Entertainment and G-Unit Records, turning them down to go the indie route. According to the rapper, that is far from the truth.

"Just so there is no misunderstanding, I want people to know that I never said I turned down any deals from Interscope, or any of their related parties. That information had come from someone who used to work for me," Chino said in an issued statement.

Chino's next major release, Confirmation, is slated to drop in the spring of 2006.
