Chamillionaire continued the dominance of Houston rap, in 2005. In November of that year, he released The Sound of Revenge. Six months after the release of the album, Chamillionaire released the second single from the album. With this single, he did something different, as he recruited Krayzie Bone for the single. Most regarded Krayzie Bone as a relic from the past, as he was a member of the popular 1990s group, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony.
Chamillionaire got Krayzie Bone to appear on what would become the biggest song in both artists’ careers. The success of “Ridin,'” more commonly referred to as “Ridin’ Dirty,” put Chamillionaire on the map. Despite his album being six months old, the success of “Ridin'” propelled The Sound of Revenge to number one on the Billboard albums chart. In addition, the album went onto become a platinum release, making Cham one of the biggest rappers in the game.
Chamillionaire reached number one on Billboard Hot 100, with “Ridin.'” As a hip hop artist, bringing up social issues is a lost art. Not only was Chamillionaire able to do so, he did it in a fun manner. As a result, he was able to reach the top of the singles and albums charts with the record, and the album. In 2007, Cham released his second album, Ultimate Victory. Currently, he is working on his third album, which is slated to drop early next year.
