With THE SOUND OF REVENGE, Chamillionaire's 2005 Universal debut, the Houston-based rapper makes the most of his major-label deal, which includes his own Chamillitary imprint. On SOR, Paul Wall's former collaborator amps up that duo's signature chopped-and-screwed mixtape sound with heavy-duty arrangements that expertly showcase Chamillionaire's deep, husky voice. The introductory title track is marked by machine-gun beats, and establishes the album's fierce, restless mood. But the disc's highlight is the utterly infectious single "Turn It Up," which boasts Scott Storch's distinctive chiming production and an appearance by Lil' Flip. Although fellow Texan Bun-B, Krayzie Bone, and others also show up, REVENGE doesn't rely on guest shots; this is Chamillionaire's show through and through, as proven by each track on this assured and potent record.

Chamillitary mayne!!! He didn't go off like he did in his mixtapes, but thats understandable since its a major release. His flows and lyrics are still sick and he had some hot producers for his songs. Koopa is definately one of the Kings of H-town, right up there with UGK and Scarface.... Dike Jones better step his game up on his next album or he's gonna fall off... Submitted by Chris (Houston, Tx) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo 2 of 2 found this helpful.
