group formed in 1998 by 50/50 Twin and Chamillionaire
. The group consistes members Yung Ro, 50/50 Twin and Rasaq. In 2004, members Chamillionaire
and Paul Wall
left to have a solo career. Lew Hawk left in 2006 of a solo career also. The group, now today, works with fellow Houston rappers Bun B
and Lil' Flip
. The boys used to work with DJ Screw
until his death on November 16, 2000.
. Eventually, they got jobs doing promotions for Swishahouse
. While there, they recorded a demo for Swishahouse
that gained a lot of attention, and soon people wanted to know who made it. Paul and Chamillionaire kept asking Swishahouse CEO Michael 5000 Watts to let them get a couple of verses on some mixtapes. However, they were constantly put to the side for other artists, and when they did get a chance to perform, they weren't getting paid well. Eventually, Paul and Chamillionaire decided to break out on their own and left Swishahouse.
The pair signed with Paid in Full Entertainment
, a record label owned by the Madd Hatta, and released Get Ya Mind Correct
in 2002. It was an instant hit in Houston, selling over 150,000 copies independently and getting nominated by the Source as one of the finalists for the indie album of the year in 2002.
However, disputes over artistic direction led to friction between the two. They were set to release their second album, Controversy Sells
, but the lingering issues led the group to split before the album saw the light of day. Controversy Sells did eventually get released in 2005. Paul decided to return to Swishahouse, while Chamillionaire started his own label, Chamillitary Entertainment. His younger brother Rasaq, Yung Ro, 50/50 Twin, and OG Ron C were signed to the label.
Their relationship was further strained by Paul's friendship with Mike Jones
. Chamillionaire claims that Jones was saying foul things behind his back while being cool with him in person. After a short lived feud with Jones, and a "disagreement" with Paul Wall, Chamillionaire has since made peace with both artists. Paul Wall and Chamillionaire have performed together since, and collabed soon after on Paul Wall's song, Diamonds Exposed, with Lil Keke "the Don" or also known as "Don Ke"
with Lil Wayne
on the song "Fly As The Sky" in 2005, and the album Ghetto Status alongside his brother. Recently, started his own independent label named, Royal Green. He is currently working on an album with 50/50 Twin entitled Glad Bag Money set for an unknown release.
