To celebrate the forthcoming “Know More” mix tape drop hosted by Ohio’s own DJ Steph Floss & DJ Bandcamp tomorrow, Stalley releases the “Swangin’” Ol School remix today. Produced by the Block Beattaz and featuring Houston Legends Lil Keke, Trae tha Truth, Bun B, E.S.G. & Chamillionaire, the “Swangin’” Ol School remix picks up where Stalley left off on his Honest Cowboy EP.

New music from King Koopa.

From the upcoming EP, The Reignfall.

This is unexpected. Chamillionaire hops on Killer Mike’s “Anywhere But Here” from R.A.P. Music, produced by El-Producto.

It’s been a minute since we heard from Houston, Texas emcee Chamillionaire. Following his 2007 album, Ultimate Victory, Chamillitary left Universal Records, and most recently has been on the mixtape circuit. His 2005 debut album The Sound of Revenge brought two commercially successful singles in “Turn It Up” and “Ridin” to the masses and even garnered him some hardware. “Ridin” won Chamillionaire and Krayzie Bone the Grammy for “Best Rap Performance By A Duo Or Group”. Not bad for a previously “unknown” artist from Houston. The Sound of Revenge eventually sold 130,000 copies in its first week, and later went Platinum, selling more than 1.5 million copies.

Chamillionaire’s most recent release, Ammunition, is a tight EP that shows that Chamillionaire is indeed back. Ammunition stars off with a bang with the dope “Running Laps” and “Let’s Get That”, two strongly produced tracks that Chamilitary absolutely slays. The subsequent track “All Mine” is also well done. Three tracks into the EP, it’s evident that Chamillionaire has used his time away to improve his craft.

Ammunition is a great example of how sometimes, big things come in small packages. The hands down album banger is Chamillionaire’s impressive collabo with Saigon on the track “You Gon Learn”. Add a sick beat with two talented emcees and you’ve got a winner. Even the redux of “Let’s Get That”, featuring Houstonites Doughbeezy and Marcus Manchild shines. Of the 8 songs featured on Ammunition, the only real misstep comes in the form of the “On My Way” (Feat Lee Lonn), the obligatory, but unnecessary track for the ladies.

Simply put, Ammunition may be Chamillionaire’s best release since The Sound of Revenge and in the end it may be better due to how focused and to the point it is. With yet another strong release, Chamillionaire puts other emcees on notice that he still has plenty of ammo left in his barrel.

Has anyone seen Mike Jones? Quite an audacious sample there, Mr. Thug.

Wow, loads of classic samples on this one. Who can name them all? Not entirely mad at this.

Chamillionaire – “Major Pain 1.5″ (Mixtape)

Eminem accepts the award for Best Rap Album for Recovery, competing against The Roots How I Got Over, B.o.B. The Adventures Of Bobby Ray, Jay-Z The Blueprint 3, and Drake Thank Me Later.

Eminem celebrates Recovery, while Dr. Dre prepares for Detox with this medley performance featuring Rihanna and Skylar Grey of both “Love The Way You Lie” and “I Need A Doctor”. After seeing this, we’re expecting “I Need A Doctor” to be a crossover smash on the level of “Airplanes” or “Love The Way You Lie”.

Eminem also took awards for Best Rap Solo Performance for “Not Afraid”

B.o.B. performs “Nuthin’ On You” (nominated for each “Record Of The Year”, “Best Rap / Sung Collaboration”, and “Best Rap Song”) with Bruno Mars (winner of Best Male Pop Vocal Performance for “Just The Way You Are”) and Janelle Monae (nominated for Best Urban/Alternative Performance for “Tightrope” and snubbed for Best Contemporary R&B Album for The Arch-Android). This led into a doo-wop rendition of Bruno’s “Grenade”, and closed out with Monae’s “Cold War”.

B.o.B. speaks on the red carpet to the Grammy’s interviewers and makes plans for Valentine’s Day.   Drake and Rihanna peform “What’s My Name”, breaking down into a dancehall rhythm remix. Heh, Drizzy said “good weed” on CBS. Rihanna took the award for Best Dance Recording for “Only Girl In The World” and was nominated several times for “Love The Way You Lie” in each Song Of The Year, Best Rap/Sung Collaboration, Best Rap Song, and Best Short Form Video categories. Cee-Lo performs his ridiculous smash hit “Fuck Forget You”, which took the award for Best Urban/Alternative Performance, dressed in an Elton-esque getup, with help from The Muppets and a surprise performance from Gweneth Paltrow, who sung the tune on Glee a few weeks back. John Legend speaks with MTV legend, John Norris, about his multiple wins this year with The Roots for Wake Up! LP. Wins include Best Traditional R&B Vocal Performance for “Hang On In There”, Best R&B Song for “Shine”, and Best R&B Album for Wake Up!. Nominations also for Best Rap Sung Collaboration for “Wake Up Everybody” and Best R&B Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocals for “Shine”. He also speaks on working with Kanye and Sade (!) on his next solo album.

Swizz Beatz on the red carpet about his recent endorsement deals, along with new albums in the works from himself and Alicia Keys.

Swizz and Jay won the award for Best Rap Performance By A Duo Or Group for “On To The Next One”.

Chamillionaire (“who’s awesome!”) speaks on the red carpet about Twitter and the status of his next LP, which will not be called Venom.
