The town of Portsmouth continues to turn heads locally with refreshing young musical talent and excellent music videos to compliment the songs.
Hot on the heels of the Ncore Band’s ‘Deja Buile’ music video, the second town-based hip hop group CHOEB has released the video for their hit song ‘Magic Touch.’
The video has set the social media, especially Facebook, abuzz, and quickly racked up well over 1,000 views in less than 24 hours since its release on Sunday, February 26.
‘Magic Touch’ is the third single on CHOEB’s first official album, titled “Under the Lights.” The video was directed by Chad Ambo, a recent university graduate who specialized in Multimedia Production at UWI Mona.
Responding to questions about the viability of a hip-hop group in Dominica, and whether or not it is an attempt at replicating America culture, Ambo responded, “If you look on the international scene right now you have artists like Rihanna, Akon and Nicki Minaj who have non-US roots, and have gone on to dominate the American charts and market. The CHOEB members are talented; who knows if they will get the opportunity to export this talent? But I see nothing wrong in allowing young people to channel their time and energy into positive things that they enjoy doing, instead of idling and getting involved in negative acts.”

CHOEB TO THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!!111111111
Since so many people has used this beat. And its still available for download. I’m certain that CHOEB are not complying with the rules of the website “beatsplanet.com” where they supposedly purchased the beat for “$1.00”
The correct format to use wherever credit is due is the following:

They never said they had exclusive rights to the beat, stop hating. They said anyone can download the beat
Padner i suspect you jealous them man.
Well i know all of em n lili speaks in the same tone….. bert does the same…. che sounds a little more masculine wen he speaks as opposed to his singing…. teedz sounds more high pitched in her singing than normal i don’t see where y’all cum out with your copycat nicki minaj my *** story. Nicki minaj is annoying and these kids are talented there is a big difference.
However i think that some Dominicans have way too much idle hands and needs to find something positive to do like these kids… pull up here commenting and criticizing negatively about beats and buying and stealing etc whatever they might’ve done i know for a fact that they’re not the first and wont be the last. You think man like Jay-z dem started off with their own stuff? ppl plz.. be supportive of what you have.
well i suggest all u listen to their song ” Going Hard” i wanna know if they voleh dat one too? …..
ohhhhhhh how i love u right now!!!! tell dem dat again..allu dunno dem some of allu NEVER tlk to dem so allu cannot just come n say oh they imitating whosoever!..tlk to dem listen n u will UNDERSTAND! geesh some d/ca are so small minded n STUPID! #myopinion… give credit where credit is needed give praise where praise is needed, congratulate wen its necessary, stop hate…n mr 305 i hope u gettin paid for all them things u digging up der…cuh choeb mus be in court with u fuh u to be doin all dat… u have a lot of time on yuh hands…as u can see da members are not even takin u on so..i think its bes u SHUT UP!
everybody in d group want to sound like they in young money lol and bert is lil wayne u cannot get recognize trying to sound like wayne
u 2 negative…. pointlesss……..
dem man so lame they have to come and put there name on DNO and answer their critics and haters dat just making man laff alu more do ur song and let man talk no need to answer man… honestly this is overrated lol weak
dem man so lame they on here defending their critics
lmao get over it stop being insecure when u make a track … putting allu name and answering people dats sooo lammmmmmeeeeeeee
Nice work my youts.Nashville(Portsmouth)has always been the soul/rnb capital of DA and it is good to see CHOEB aspiring to appeal to a wider audience.Doh
get swell head and think you reach.Keep on workin on ya flow(like Indian river ya know)and originality.Big up Ambo on the video production.And
for the rest of the schizos it is called beats and
CHOEB riding.
Big up CHOEB!! BIG up CHAD! #likeABoss!!
Allu should not feel the need to explain anything because if any one has common sense they can see that a lot of famous artist use the same beats n just add their own lyrics. The lyrics is what makes the beat! I don’t see why allu feel the need to validate whether or not you had legal rights to the beat..let the person hate…black ppl never there to help others rise but when you get to the top they are the same ones that want to come n play part. Don’t get vex at what the haters have to say just remember everything is constructive criticism and how u react to it is what forms you…The video was great quality and the chorus was nice!
You ppl can say as u want I know that CHOEB is as original as they come! Like it or not! Just blow the trumpet cuz we know allu want too! CHOEB big up! Ur girl always got ur back!
Way to go guys, congratulations. Just be careful on the legal side.
Nice, Very very nice. Hey guys, please give Mc Carthy Marie a call. I’m sure he has advise for you all. I just want to know that you all are safe. Keep this up and you will go places.
keep representing yourselves,possie an Dominica on a whole

When, you guys remix original tracks, without giving credit to the original artist. It simply makes you guys seems like copycats.Piracy is a crime CHOEB.. Check these youtube links. I know some people will get mad “IF” my comment is accepted
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1HsuG-rFf3o
i actually thought they were the ones who made their song
well they need to start writing songs because they have good voices
we made this song we got the beat it had one with hook and one with no hook for sale so other person like us downloaded the beat n made a song
I guess they should have mentioned the original artiste but still, this is a good effort. We must always applaud young people when they are doing something good and staying out of trouble.
The Song DOnt have an original artist it is for sale till someone buys it then u can say tht

Well Am a member of choeb N I Never Heard this Song before We Bought The Beat For Only A Dollar, we didnt bought the official right so other people can also buy it for a dollars. The Beat Name Is Magic Touch So This Person Maybe Bought The Beat N Make That.
as u can see we got our own hook on this
http://www.soundclick.com/player/single_player.cfm?songid=10301287&q=hi&newref=1
this is the link for the beat my brother this song is still not Bought by any one using exclusive rights. ok
in this day… when people are fighting for copyright, please be careful before you all make it big !
SO MY COMMENT ABOUT THAT IS DELETED ???
as you can see from the two links that this person provided. the beat is public and can be download by anyone. the beat also is available with a chorus, which we did not use. the beat name is magic touch and can be downloaded from here http://www.soundclick.com/player/single_player.cfm?songid=10301287&q=hi&newref=1
..
CHOEB did not ‘remix an original track.’ Sometimes its good to do a little research before coming on a public forum and maligning and attempting to illegitimize people’s efforts!!
The beat is available online for download for young, aspiring artists like CHOEB! Anyone can pay for and download the beat, with or without the hook and record on it.
The link you provided is of another artist who recorded on the beat, and I’m sure if you look hard enough you can find other unsigned artists who recorded on it. All the lyrics of the verses of the song were penned by the individual CHOEB artists.
Isn’t that an old KISS song? nothing about this song is original.. You guys have no shame…
Im a friend of CHOEB and I know for sure that that song was not remixed and it is ORIGINAL just like the video. Dominicans is bull always tryna bring their own people down when they doing something good AKA crabs in a barrel. If they were idle and engaging themselves it would be a different thing….there’s always sumen with y’all.
Fantastic video. This guys are dominica’s next best hope of bursting on the international scene. Though I pre thier track “take my hand” this one sure deserves commendation.
I have no difficulty if the artist tries to imitate some established artist. All great artist take abit from someone before them. Beyonce and mariah carie were clones of whitney at thier onset and no one complained. So that obseervation to me is more of a compliment than a rebuke.
she’s not trying to sound like niki nor rhianna this is her tone, how she speaks, if you hear them speak u will realize that’s there original tone, they nuh trying to sound like anybody
When, you guys remix original tracks,

You Tranna BE A HATER
Gentlemen permit me to butt into your comments about the rights in the track on which the song is built. It Seems that you are both correct to a certain extent. One can indeed pay a sum of money and download the tracks and build a song on said track. However there is a copyright license attached to the beats when “buyer” hands over his money which limits the extent to which commercial use can be made of the resulting song before the “buyer” has to make additional payments to the producer of the beat. I trust the guys and gals in the group took the time to carefully read the terms of the licence since if they hope to go far with the song they might have to fork out more cash.
305, you’re a hater straight of!! every1 gave at least a positive comment and an advice! you need to encourage the youths and not bring them down… smh…
Very professionally done in terms of video quality. Upcoming stars that can make Dominica proud. I kinda expected a story line though. Would’ve made the video even more interesting. Keep up the good work you guys got talent.
Give Jack his jacket and Juliet her Lipstic.
I love this video! I KEEP WATCHING IT OVER AND OVER.
who wrote the song? Great song! This would be worth millions abroad!
keep working guys…..
dats not worth lol
whooo!!!!!
Great stuff!!This girl has a nice voice,reminds me of Rhianna.Keep working guys,never know someone might just take you guys to the states to meet Jay-Z,like how they took Rhianna.
Ignore negative people ,they will only keep you back.This is much better for young people to engage in than crimes!
To Chad Ambo,that’s great work,didn’t know you could produce videos……..i see a market for young talented people coming….
jayz doh like lil wayne so take out his name in dat
Impress with the quality> Great job Chad
Great Job on the sound track and video
very professional and very good quality i must say. love it! the north representing big time… respect!
When I read the article the first thing that came to mind was ‘ more of the same from them little fellers…!’
But when I actually saw the video i was TRUELY impressed! Good stuff!! Stick with it and hold on…that video made me smile!!
Whoever’s singing that chorus has a great voice! Oh yah… I also believe that nicki manag sounds like the female rapper on this track and NOT the other way round…!
great stuff!
thought so too she sounds like nickyminaj but is all good kudos to u all
Great job guys. Keep it up.
Great job!…..it’s good to see young talented people doing their thing….continue the good work!
Love the video guys better than Ncore
@ least Ncore is original
and so is choeb so wat
Thumbs up Guys and Gyals!!!
Great video!! Though i find the girl singing should be a bit more expressive (hell she’s singing about having the ‘magic touch’) act the part, inspite of it all everything was well put together. I loved it!!!!
real vybze sounding nice give me a copy nor please to blast in the town…..
love that song
extremely proud to be blessed with the opportunity to see such talent from the north! big up all possie massive! keep the vibez flowing. one love

I don’t find she was trying to sound like niki minaj…..how can you know what she was trying to do? Are you in her head?
Girl do your thing,you can sing
