A long week on the road lead up to Chamillionaire’s Fly Rydes shop in Houston this past Sunday. The occasion, a basketball game featuring Chamillionaire’s Chamillitary/Fly Rydes team versus the The Box (97.9) team. Captains for the teams were Chamillionaire and J-Mac. Chamillionaire invited all of Houston, as well as everyone else, to his shop on the north side of Houston for free food, autograph signing, pictures, and the heavily promoted basketball game. The event was packed full of people as were the roads to the shop. The bets were official, if the Chamillitary team lost, Chamillionaire would pimp a fans ride. If they won, J-Mac would wash cars for half a day. In the end, the Chamillitary team ended up with the victory.
Chamillionaire’s latest project, Mixtape Messiah 6 [ which features our photo work ], officially dropped on Tuesday. To kick off his promo tour for the project Cham did two in-store autograph signings in the Central Texas area, both in the same day. The first was held at Sundance Records in San Marcos during the afternoon and the second was, in the evening, at Piranha Records in Round Rock. After the Sundance event, we headed to the Piranha Records in-store. Again there, Cham chatted with fans, signed autographs and took photos. Both of the events were packed full of supporters with very large lines out out the front doors of both stores.
Chamillionaire and camp will be back in Austin on Friday (01/16) for a 7PM in-store at Music Mania. All of these events are apart of the promotion for his album, “Venom” which will be out soon.
Here is some exclusive LM footage from Tony Parker’s NBA Live 09 Celebration last weekend. Some of the guest in attendance included the San Antonio Spurs, Chamillionaire, Famous, Bun B, Play N Skillz, Trae, Question, and many others…
Chamillionaire and the Chamillitary Camp rolled through Austin, last Friday, for an in-store appearance and signing. Before the actual in-store event, Cham did an interview with Hot 93.3 personality, Boogie. (You can listen here) After the interview, it was off to Music Mania where many supporters showed up to get an autograph. Cham and Famous stayed around for a couple of hours, signing posters and taking photos with fans.
Cham is currently on his Mixtape Messiah IV promo tour. Austin / Music Mania was just one of the many stops. Later that night, we headed downtown to catch the Z-Ro concert and enjoyed the entire show from the DJ booth next to the stage. Cham joined Z-Ro on stage at the end of his set and then we made our way out.
Those interested, can listen to Cham’s voicemail regarding his Austin trip here…
Chamillionaire’s Mixtape Messiah V will be out in November. The cover art, designed by Mike Frost / SLFEMP will also feature some of my photo work.
I flew out to Baton Rouge, over the weekend, with Chamillionaire and the Chamillitary camp for their Groovin’ on the Grounds concert at LSU. I was there to cover the show as well as to produce some other photo work for upcoming Chamillitary projects.
Groovin’ on the Grounds is put on by Students On Target, an organization which promotes alcohol awareness. The outdoor event takes place every year on the campus of LSU and was full of people. A big thanks to the LSU staff who had us eating right for dinner on Saturday. Wyclef was another artist who participated in the event.
Here is some YouTube footage from the show…
