The Chinaman is the first studio album by American rapper Fresh Kid Ice (Christopher Wong Won) of the 2 Live Crew.

Wong Won started to work on the album in 1992, because he was troubled with the direction 2 Live Crew member Luther Campbell was taking and wanted to stay away.

Wong Won said he took on the project in 1992, because he wanted to distanced himself from 2 Live Crew member Luther Campbell, who at the time had a beef with Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg.

He felt it was awkward and out of place since all previous interaction with them had been friendly, hence he suggested a solo project to his label, and started it without a budget.

He also said, without taking an advance, all beats were programmed in his garage with friends and artists he produced, they went into the company's studio and recorded it and that it sold over 200,000 copies with very limited promotion.
