Chamillionaire Releases Major Pain Mixtape; Announces Tour With Paul Wall

After long delays of Chamillionaire‘s third album “Venom”, the Mixtape Messiah has decided to take matters into his own hands once again. The Houston rapper is giving an album in the form of mixtape titled “Major Pain.”

The new 18-track mixtape was released through his website Chamillionairte.com Tuesday (February 2). This news goes against what the rapper had stated before, that he’d no longer release any new mixtapes.

“I felt it was time to take it back to the original grind that made these major companies pay attention in the first place,” Chamillionaire explained of his return to the mixtape circuit. “I don’t think there is any reason why any artist with real knowledge of independent hustle, should sit and wait for any major system to work for them. BUT, because I am signed to a major recording label, there are still a lot of things that I would like to be able to do, that I’m not really allowed to do.

“Politics in this business often stand between a creative mind and the grind, but I’m gonna try my best to feed my fans without getting into too much trouble,” he continued.

Chamillionaire has also announced that he and his old partner Paul Wall would be reuniting on a tour. The tour kicks off with a SXSW headliner show in Austin on March 17th (Chamillionaire/Paul Wall, Trae Tha Truth, Dorrough, Chalie Boy, and more) and includes stops in Flagstaff, Las Vegas, Tucson, Phoenix, Anaheim, Ventura, Los Angeles, Tulsa, Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, Denver, Albuquerque, Billings and Boise. More dates are to be announced.

“The lack of marketing and promo budgets in a weak economy isn’t gonna keep me from touring to different cities and releasing music to fans that still demand it,” Cham said. “That’s why I decided to start the Major Pain series and tour with Paul. It’s what the fans want.”
