Grammy Award winning American rapper Chamillionaire is back and premiered his new pop-up video for "Good Morning" on his website, Facebook and Ustream, after Chamillionaire spent several minutes interacting with his fans and offering a background story on the video, and the circumstances surrounding it.
This inspiring, feel-good track "Good Morning" is the first official single from the Houston rapper's upcoming third studio album "Venom" LP, which will feature collaborations with Ludacris, J. Holiday, Pimp C, Bobby Valentino, and Good Charlotte, and is set to be released February 2nd via Chamillitary/Universal. It was produced by DJ Frank E and it very heavily samples Tom Petty's "Free Falling." It was released digitally on October 13, where it already reached #1 on the iTunes Hip-Hop/Rap chart and a breakout radio hit, following an aggressive Twitter campaign by Chamillionaire to promote the single. "I thought it would go to radio, people would know it and they'd put it in rotation," Chamillionaire reveals. "They actually did. It has a good vibe and when you put it on, it makes you feel a little more upbeat. It makes you want to get out of bed and go get some money."
Texas lyricist Chamillionaire tries an appreciated reverse approach to battle rapping on his latest single, "Good Morning." Instead of attacking a nemesis, Chamillionaire pledges to "send all his haters love." He opens the chorus with saying good morning to all the haters and give them a big hug. The hip-hop star puts a price tag on his luxurious lifestyle in the Don Tyler-directed clip, which is already becoming a smash crossover hit. The video finds Chamillionaire consumed by his lavish lifestyle. He's surrounded by beautiful women, drives a fancy sports car, and is lauded by handlers and media.
Everyone loves a good hater anthem and Chamillionaire manages to keep the oft-used concept fresh with an infectious chorus and Tom Petty-sampling production that wouldn't sound out of place on adult contemporary radio. The Grammy winner is always slightly different, yet still accessible and not without his menacing sounding sneer. I'm interested in seeing what Chamillionaire has to offer on his new album "Venom" next year.
