while chamillion was promising for months that he was going to drop his next solo album on a major (but the pre-order's ready and he's still independent) and mike jones might/might not have an official remix with usher and paul wall's crawled back to swishahouse after punking cham, slim thug's signed to a major label, been doing tracks with the neptunes (ten completed, supposedly) and generating jay-z out-of-retirement rumors (he did a new verse on a slim thug collabo, supposedly). "i'm off the northside--north--the northside / represent with pride, watch me take it worldwide."

he's got that deep, smooth voice and a flow that's still flexible and surefooted and can ride anything he wants to and he raps convincingly about the right things and he's handsome and tall and wears his hair in tight braids (i couldn't find a picture of him).

bonus:

itz ya dog freestyle

from after da kappa 01. slim, cham (kills it)("bout to change after da kappa to after da koopa cause when it comes to ballin yall niggas come after king koopa") and paul wall ("i'm turning the sea wall into the seen paul wall cause everywhere i go they say 'i seen paul wall' in big body, big rims, big iced out chains").
