So yeah Chamillionaire recently dropped his followup to the original Mixtape Messiah that dropped a few years ago with 3 discs worth of music. This time it’s just one disc and I hate to say it as much as I like his music most of the time the mixtape just is really lacking in quality. Maybe it was rushed and I know he’s much busier today with all the success of his major label album that he finally dropped and work on a new one for release in just a couple months but this one leaves me wanting alot more than I got.

But anyway let’s get on with the review and a link where you can download it yourself. Cham wanted this one to be out there and to be free and you know he’s big on the internet and his own website so you can download it right from him, as that was the source for the release of the mixtape and I’d hope to see other artists doing the same.

I’ll be honest not many tracks really stood out as being very good to me on this and maybe it’s just me because others are feeling alot of it, or so I’ve heard. The intro might be the hottest track of the entire mixtape, it’s a classic style hard hitting easy to ride to Play N Skills produced piece and gives you sound much like his album did. Cham hits it hard right from the start and doesnt let up for a few tracks as things then start to slow down.

The second track is Cham’s commentary and own version or take of the latest Nas release Hip Hop is Dead and it’s a pretty good track as well with a lot to say about the corporate and commercial takeover of the music biz and whats really killing hip hop.

Ridin Overseas with Akon might be a pretty popular track if you like that Akon flow and alot of people do. It’s Cham talking about ridin as he’s done before but this time overseas in Europe as he shares the southern rap game with them.

I don’t know I was just expecting more and it’s possible that I had higher expectations that I should have but tracks like Show Me What Ya Got and I Run It or Let’em Know just dont seem to work for me. But with a free download, who’s to complain. Cham is again trending with the internet and working the biz to his advantage and I can never hate on that. So here’s a tracklist and a link to his site so you can peep the download if you haven’t already! Visit Chamillionaire.com! In the meantime I’ll see if Cham ever gets around to answering one of my requests for an interview so he can speak on things for himself!
