Chamillionaire Drops Mixtape On Christmas Eve, Relaunches Chamillionaire.com
"I really feel that people are just hungry for some good material," Chamillionaire told Vibe.com in a statement. "Hopefully, they will get a full meal with Mixtape Messiah 2 and appreciate my consistency enough to purchase my real album on March 27th."
right In order to promote his next album to fans, the Houston-bred rapper is going to release the mixtape free via the relaunched www.chamillionaire.com on the morning of Christmas Eve.
"I have been working so hard the past year that I haven't had the time to feed my underground fan base the way I have in the past." Chamillionaire said. "I feel that the best way I can say thanks to everyone that has supported my music from the beginning is to give them Mixtape Messiah 2 for free."
His renovated site will include 3D animation graphics and an exclusive Chamilitary radio station, both for Cham and his newly-signed artist named “Famous, whose MySpace page currently boasts over 21 million music plays.
Chamillionaire, who reached fame with his breakout double-platinum album, The Sound of Revenge, will release a DVD version of Mixtape Messiah 2 in late January as well. The DVD will feature exclusive footage from Chamillionaire's journey to stardom over the past few years, and will offer a behind-the-scenes look at backstage antics, life on the road, and his promo tour.
"I have had a camera following me for years and I have so much footage that I feel the fans should see," Chamillionaire says. “There's personal footage that I have kept aside to help promote my upcoming album, The Ultimate Victory, but the majority of it will be released in installments, for the streets."
