The Shreveport, Louisiana native known as Hurricane Chris first made major noise when he hit the scene with his undeniably catchy single, "A Bay Bay." Released on Rap-A-Lot just after his debut solo album, YOU HEAR ME? is made up of previously unheard underground tracks--and provides crucial examples of the nascent "rachet music" movement before it blew up nationwide. Bulletproof-Teflon, Webbie, Bay Bay, Lil Uzey, Lil Polkk, Wild Yella, Billy Broadway, and the late Pimp C are featured. Weeks after Hurricane Chris scored a Top Ten hit single with "A Bay Bay," Rap-a-Lot released "You Hear Me?" in hopes of capitalizing on the teenage rapper's overnight rise to fame. The album's packaging is an instant giveaway that this isn't Hurricane Chris' major-label debut (that would be 5150 Ratchet, which hadn't been released yet), for the CD is so cheaply packaged, it looks homemade. Slyly billed to simply "Hurricane" rather than Hurricane Chris, presumably for legal reasons, "You Hear Me?" is comprised of old, previously released underground recordings, the best known among them "You Hear Me?" and "Yep." Unfortunately, the sound quality is poor, as if the songs were unmastered or perhaps dubbed from CD-R mixtape sources. This is unfortunate because the songs aren't bad at all -- they just sound bad. Granted, the productions are low-budget and the raps OK at best, but there's a lot of youthful energy in these songs as well as a lot of singsong hooks ? la "A Bay Bay." Besides the aforementioned underground hits, "Get Out Yo Mind" is notable for its Pimp C guest feature. Though "You Hear Me?" is a curiosity at best, it's one that devoted fans of Hurricane Chris might want to hunt down. ~ Jason Birchmeier Producer: Wild Yellow; Ketrick"Navohoe" Robinson Engineer: Ketrick"Navohoe" Robinson Musical Guests Bay Bay Bulletproof- Teflon Pimp C Willie Webbie Billy Broadway Lil Polkk Lil Uzey Wild Yella'   Compilation Appearances Total Dance 2008 Self Made Exclusive (forever Edition)(Bonus Tracks)(w/ Bonus DVD) Tolerated But Hated(Explicit Version) Beast(Explicit Version) Life In The Concrete Jungle(Explicit Version) Fast Life(Explicit Version) Fast Life Voice(Explicit Version) Voice Recession Proof(Explicit Version) Street Approved(Explicit Version)   Technical Info Release Date : 12/30/2007 Original Release Date : 2007 Catalog ID : 328764 Label : Rap-A-Lot Records Number of Discs : 1 Studio/Live : Studio Mono/Stereo : Stereo SPAR Code : n/a UPC : 00075597996418
