The Chinaman is the first solo album by Fresh Kid Ice. It was released in 1992 by Effect Records, a division of Luke Records. Singles released to promote the album were "Dick 'Em Down", "I'll Be There", and "Freak 'Em Down" (the clean version of Dick 'Em Down which wasn't featured in the album). "Freak 'Em Down" was turned into a video clip.

The album was the first hip hop album embracing Asian heritage. With songs like "Long Dick Chinese", Kid Ice inverted stereotypes into prideful declarations of self-identity and showed there was a way for Asians to exist in hip hop.[1] It sold over 200,000 with very limited promotion.[2] It reached number 38 on the Billboard Heatseekers Albums chart and No. 56 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart.[3][4]
