RATING: 4 out of 5
On his major label solo debut, The Sound of Revenge, Chamillionaire departs slightly from his approach on the 2003 regional hit collaboration with Paul Wall, Get Ya Mind Correct. The off-the-cuff playfulness of that debut is gone for the most part on The Sound of Revenge; it seems that Chamillionaire has decided to “get serious” for his major label review, leaving behind some of his Houston roots much the way Lil’ Flip did on major debut U Gotta Feel Me. His delivery is as great as it always was, and many of the tracks are amazing, but there is definitely a mid-album slump highlighted by the ridiculous “Peepin’ Me,” which is nowhere near worthy of sharing its name with the Fat Pat classic. Great Scarface and Killer Mike collaborations cap off what is, in its moments, the best record from Houston this year.
