Chubb Rock is a New York-based rapper who released several commercially successful hip hop albums in the early 1990s. His stage name is thought to be inspired by the name of "Chuck Robb", although this is most likely more of a clever play on words than a tribute to the politician. The rapper claims that he was a pre-med student who dropped out of Brown University to pursue his musical career.
