|---|---|
The Sound of Revenge is the debut studio album by rapper Chamillionaire, although it is not Chamillionaire's debut album as he had released two independent albums and many mixtapes previously. It was produced by Scott Storch, Mannie Fresh, Play-N-Skillz, Cool and Dre and other producers. It was released in 2005 and includes contributions from Lil' Flip, Lil Wayne, younger brother Rasaq, Natalie Alvarado, Krayzie Bone, Bun B, Scarface and Pastor Troy. This album was also released in a "screwed and chopped" version by OG Ron C. Chamillionaire and Krayzie Bone won the Best Rap Performance By A Duo Or Group Grammy for the song "Ridin'". In 2009, Chamillionaire released Mixtape Messiah 7 and explained on the final track of disc 1 that he was also going to be considered for the Best New Artist Grammy but, bootleggers caused him to be disqualified by releasing unauthorized Chamillionaire albums the same year his debut was released.
The album sold 130,000 copies in its first week, and later went Platinum, selling more than 1.5 million copies.[1] A non-single, "Picture Perfect", peaked #28 on Hot Ringtones[1].
