Chamillionaire recently threw a listening party for his upcoming album, Ultimate Victory, out in New York. (Don’t ask me why he didn’t host one in H-town.) Apparently, they also presented him with a plaque for his 2005 debut, The Sound of Revenge, which has now moved an impressive 5.5 million units worldwide.

It’s good to see Ja “the original rap-singer” back on the scene. “Uh-Oh” is the first single from his new album, The Mirror, due out September 25 (Keep in mind: Curtis will now be released on 9/11). It’s also featured on an upcoming Step Ya Game Up mixtape, available via Get A Buz.
Boo Boo could not be reached for comment at press time, as he was too busy soliciting a ghostwriter for his next dis song.

Rap-A-Lot threw a listening party for Trae’s new album (due out 9/25) last night at Dave & Busters. I don’t have much to tell you about the album, because I spent the entire 2 1/2 hrs scheming on how to jack that tee from Trae.
The boy Enigmatik (from Boo Goo Doo Boom) was in the place to be. In fact, he has the lowdown on Life Goes On.
