Chamillionaire Sound of Revenge goes platinum

It’s official Chamillionaire’s debut album, Sound of Revenge, has gone platinum and Cham is ready to celebrate. He has announced that he will be throwing an A-List party in New York City on June 5, 2007. I wonder who that A-list includes?

Chamillionaire has earned his first #1 record which is something that fellow Houston rappers Mike Jones, Paul Wall, and Slim Thug, are still trying to accomplish. “Ridin’ Dirty” featuring Krayzie Bone went to Number One on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart this week. The song was aided by several regional remixes which included guest vocals form UGK, E-40, Papoose, and Jae Millz.

Chamillionaire’s album continues to move 35,000 copies a week. Congrats to Chamillionaire for doing his thing and making it this far. I will be waiting to see what he comes out with next.

This Port Arthur, Texas-based group, consisting of Pimp C and Bun B, is releasing a new double album, Under Ground Kingz, and recently leaked a single from the project, titled “Game Belongs To Me.” The song was produced by Pimp C, Avery Harris, and N.O. Joe.

The official lead single from the project will be “Stop & Go,” which was produced by Jazze Pha. Also expect to hear beats from Mannie Fresh, Timbaland, Cool N Dre and Three 6 Mafia. Artists featured on the album include Slim Thug and Rick Ross not to mention others.

This album sounds like its gonna be hot and it is building a lot of hype right now since its the first group album release since 2001’s Dirty Money. It is also the first group project from Pimp C since his release from prison.

Lil Flip responds to VT shooting with freestyle

By now, I am sure that all of you know of the horrific and violent events that happened on April 16, 2007 at Virginia Tech university in Blacksburg, VA. Houston rapper Lil Flip has released his freestyle response to the victims and all of those who are suffering.

As foul-mouthed and explicit as rappers may be in their lyrics sometimes, they still are aware of what is going on. Congratulations to Flip for taking the time out to reflect on the situation America has been plagued with for the past week. Its on YouTube, its not a video, but who cares? … It is worth listening to anyway.
