Chamillionaire

Texas hip-hop artist

Chamillionaire is the stage name of Hakeem Seriki, an American rapper from Houston who rose to prominence in the mid-2000s.

He is best known for "Ridin'," which won a Grammy for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group in 2007.

The name blends "chameleon" with "millionaire," reflecting adaptability and ambition: I've been listening to Chamillionaire since the mixtape days.
