Because of label politics and the current overall state of the music industry, Chamillionaire has decided to drop a new 18-track mixtape entitled Major Pain. Despite a previous declaration not to make any further tapes, Chamillionaire realized that mixtapes serve to give him the creative freedom denied him in a structured, major label environment. “I felt it was time to take it back to the original grind that made these major companies pay attention in the first place,” Chamillionaire told AllHipHop.com in a statement. “I don't think there is any reason why any artist with real knowledge of independent hustle, should sit and wait for any major system to work for them, but, because I am signed to a major recording label, there are still a lot of things that I would like to be able to do, that I'm not really allowed to do. Politics in this business often stand between a creative mind and the grind but I'm gonna try my best to feed my fans without getting into too much trouble.” Part of that independent hustle will be a long-awaited tour with early collaborator Paul Wall. Paul Wall’s first appearance with Chamillionaire will be in Austin, Texas as headliners on March 17 for the South By Southwest tour .
