Chamillionaire recently threw a listening party for his upcoming album, Ultimate Victory, out in New York. (Don't ask me why he didn't host one in H-town.) Apparently, they also presented him with a plaque for his 2005 debut, The Sound of Revenge, which has now moved an impressive 5.5 million units worldwide.

Rap-A-Lot threw a listening party for Trae's new album (due out 9/25) last night at Dave & Busters. I don't have much to tell you about the album, because I spent the entire 2 1/2 hrs scheming on how to jack that tee from Trae.

The boy Enigmatik (from Boo Goo Doo Boom) was in the place to be. In fact, he has the lowdown on Life Goes On.

In the absence of a much-anticipated 2Pacalypse, Live Earth--Al Gore's SOS campaign for a climate in crisis--went dooown like Yung Joc on 7-7-07. Kanye (New York), Xzibit (Tokyo), and Snoop (Germany) were among the 100+ artists that helped make the 24-hour, 7-continent event a success. Let me just add that Alicia Keys looks pretty in pink.

I had an opportunity to check out Hip-Hop Summit Action Network's "Get Your Money Right" tour stop at Texas Southern University the other day. Being the poverty-stricken journalist that I am, any and all financial advice will do. Unfortunately, I don't remember what was discussed at the summit. I was too busy looking at Free and LeToya, as you'll soon discover:
