A tender 18 years old at the time of his major label debut, 51/50 RATCHET, Hurricane Chris seems set to take up the torch for New Orleans rap. Not to be confused with YOU HEAR ME?, an underground on-the-cheap release of Hurricane Chris tracks also released in 2007, 51/50 RATCHET has all the trimmings of a big-league splash. A native of Shreveport, Louisiana, Hurricane Chris puts his own twist on a crunk-influenced Dirty South style. The album contains the hit "A Bay Bay," the instant and infectiously catchy track that catapulted Hurricane Chris to recognition.
