Venom is the upcoming third studio album by American rapper Chamillionaire; it has been repeatedly pushed back over the past year, most recently from June 22nd, 2010, and previously March 16th, 2010, February 2, 2010, and December 8, 2009.[2]

Background

Album history

Previously, Chamillionaire had stated that his third studio album would be titled 'Venom', and was scheduled for release in early 2009 with various delays. In Summer 2009, he announced that the title and content for that album had been scrapped and a new project was under way.[3] To decide the title for his newest album, a competition was run on the rapper's website asking fans for their suggestions for album names.[4] As a result of the competition, several names were short-listed and finally they were voted on and Venom was chosen by fans as the title for his third album. Chamillionaire spoke on the reversal of mind stating:

...not wanting to use it anymore was for creative reasons but others seemed to disagree because of marketing reasons. So I figured that I would put it up there so you all could decide and help me prove I'm not crazy. Looks like I am crazy. Venom it is.[5]

Singles

On September 3, 2009, Chamillionaire leaked the first single for the then-untitled album titled "Good Morning". The song debuted at number forty on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. A video for the single was released on November 10, 2009.[6] There will be a special edition with a DVD of the album in the US according to amazon.com. The second single was "The Main Event". It features Dorrough, Paul Wall and Slim Thug. It was released on June 8, 2010. The next day, on June 9, the song "Make a Movie" was released. It features singer Lloyd and Chicago rapper Twista.
