Fresh out of Houston, Chamillionaire announced himself on the local scene with '02's collaborative album with Paul Wall, Get Ya Mind Correct. That project showcased the rapper's dextrous flow — a style he capitalised on when the Southern takeover of the mid-'00s pushed his city into the mainstream. '05 solo debut, The Sound of Revenge, hit platinum heights as King Koopa mixed radio-ready production with his insightful and curse-free raps, while '07's Ultimate Victory saw him receiving a deserved cosign from golden era hip-hop icon, Slick Rick.
