Chamillionaire’s 1st Video in 2 Years: “Show Love” (Feat. D.A.)
Posted by Mikey Fresh under videos[91] Comments
You gotta respect Chamillionaire’s artistry and appreciation for hip-hop. Over the last few years, he got caught up in label politics with Universal and stepped away from the spotlight to get his business in order. Apparently, he was under constant pressure to keep recreate “Ridin’ Dirty” over and over again because it was a such a pop hit, but he just wanted to make music that was true to his heart. It’s a common situation for rappers, but most end up giving in and making some bullsh*t music. Not Cham. In anticipation for his upcoming album Poison, the Houston rapper throws a freebie out to the ‘Net with “Show Love,” which features D.A. from Chester French. Let us know what you think in the comments.
Watch the full video after the jump…
“I have decided to release a visual for the fans that have been patiently waiting for me to finish my Poison album. I know it has been a while since the last release, but just know that the wait will be more than worth it. This is a stand alone song/visual that it isn’t on the album or any project, but I hope you enjoy this first offering.”
props to Complex

This song is great to me. I have always like Cham and I think that Chester French is dope. The visuals are high quality and well thought out. This is not the kind of thing that independents do.

I appreciate Cham taking his time and putting out something he is happy with. The return of Debo was a great touch.

I loved the video. I think its great that Cham put it out as a fan appreciation offering. I can’t wait for Poison and hope it does well to prove that major label execs don’t know what the people want.

I appreciate the work that’s been done ’cause of flawless (as usual) lyrics,this DA is smth raw, visuals been made in a very smooth way and the plot led, I would say to an unpredictable/unexpected scenario,plus one more awesome and important thing is the actors’ play. That’s what I want,quality.Thank you,Cham. Ya’ll who haven’t heard of trap house chamillionaire.com I would recommend to joint the army because Cham returns all the love of his fans by making creative competitions, lotteries and other creative stuff where you can give it a try and win some amazing stuff(from signed Jacket to $100 bill or apple TV) hard work gets paid. #Chamillitary

One of the best visuals I’ve seen this year in any genre. Most of the time artist’s will throw a video together w/ a white screen behind them and/or they will have great visuals but it won’t fit their song. Chamillionaire’s video is different. He has a great theme and the visuals to match it.
