Chamillionaire - “My Life” (feat. Trae & Slim Thug)
Koopa, Trae, and Thugga spitting some heartfelt lyrics over Game’s “My Life.” No matter how many times you hear it, it’s always refreshing to see these guys come together and share a moment. Houston hip-hop is slowly but surely witnessing a revival, ladies and gentlemen.
Here’s the first episode of Chamillionaire’s viral video series, Who Wants to Be a Chamillionaire, featuring a crackhead as the contestant. As the title suggests, it’s a spin-off of the popular game show Who Wants to Be a Millionaire.
Chamillionaire’s Mixtape Messiah 4 arrives on August 27th.

Here’s Cham wrecking Shawty Lo’s increasingly popular “Foolish” beat.
Mixtape Messiah 4 arrives August 27th. Mark your calendar or the Joker will find you.

Chamillionaire has been on hiatus for so long I was starting to wonder if Bill O’Reilly had ordered a hit on him. King Koopa’s back though (at least, I think he is). According to his able publicist Nancy, the latest installment in Cham’s Mixtape Messiah series will be out on August 27th. Mixtape Messiah aside, Cham has been keeping busy with collabos, freestyles (see mp3s above), and whatever else rappers do when they’re not busy bitching at their record companies (most of which deserve to be bitched at, by the way).
“It’s raining Benjamins, but that ain’t 3K” - Chamillionaire (”ChaMilli”)
After a bamillion “A Milli” freestyles, I’m not sure how eager you are to hear Chamillionaire’s version. Just in case anyone asks, he absolutely killed it. Plus, it sounds more authentic hearing a Forbes-recognized millionaire named Chamillionaire rhyming over that beat.

[Disclaimer: Obviously I was really reaching with that post title, but Houston hip-hop really has been in a slumber lately. Though Koopa is one of the smartest mainstream rappers around, it'll take more than one smart artist to answer the wake-up call.]

Chamillionaire was invited to Larry King Live to discuss the pros and cons of Don Imus’ return to radio.
I have no problem with Imus getting his job back, but what’s up with adding two black people to his show? Looks like he’s trying to send the message that if he makes a racist joke in the future, and as long as his two sidekicks cosign his remarks, the black community won’t confront him.

Universal Records should be ashamed of itself for letting Koopa down on Ultimate Victory. That album is filled with gems, like this one, that people may never get to hear because of label politics.

Chamillionaire brought his former nemesis Paul Wall onstage for a reunion performance yesterday. Cham was headlining this year’s BET College Concert at TSU (Texas Southern University), and decided to surprise fans with a powerful rendition of the CCC (That’s Color Changin’ Click for the uninitiated) classic “In Love with My Money.” What’s iller than two grown men putting their differences aside and moving on with life?
