Chamillionaire is currently gearing up for the release of his
sophomore album, Ultimate Victory.

Set for release this spring, the album features appearances from Three
Six Mafia, Busta Rhymes, Lil” Wayne, Pimp C, Bone Thugs & Harmony, Slick
Rick and Devin The Dude. Production on the project
is supplied by The Runners, JR Rotem, Rick Rock, Play N Skillz, Ike
Dirty, and the late Disco D, among others.

The album”s first single, "Not A Criminal," which features Kelis,
addresses the adversity and prejudices the Houston bred rapper faces because
of his success. "People treat you like you committed a crime when you speak
the truth about what”s really on your mind," Chamillionaire explained via
a statement. "People act like its wrong to have an opinion about things
especially when your views are different than theirs. I feel like setting the
goal to be a successful entrepreneur should be looked at as a good thing and
should not come with all the unnecessary hate and resistance."

"The business world can be a cruel place and even though I work hard at
being successful and staying on top of my business, some people will look at
me like I”m a criminal because of it, when I”m actually just working hard so
my company can grow and I can remain successful" he continued. "Even
though one may have money through hard work, you still get judged and have to
deal with prejudices and problems. I plan on doing what I feel is right for
me and not worrying about anyone that feels otherwise."

Cham also revealed he has retired the grills that him and his fellow Houston
rappers have made popular. "I need people to pay attention to what I have
to say, instead of just staring at my mouth," he added. "I speak with
a purpose and definitely want people to know that I”m not just some rapper with
diamonds in his mouth. As soon as they get past the materialistic stuff and
listen to the message on my album then I will feel like I have won."

Ultimate Victory will hit shelves on March 27 via Chamillitary/Universal Motown
Records.
