| Song |
Ridin' is the second single from Chamillionaire's album, The Sound of Revenge. The track features Krayzie Bone of the rap group, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony. The track is produced by Play-N-Skillz.
The lyrics concern racial profiling and police brutality. The music video creates a sense of the law abusing their power. It has wrestling scenes to show how the police treat suspects. The video also has cameo appearances by all members of Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, Tom Lister Jr., Play-N-Skillz, and Chamillionaire's younger brother Rasaq.
Reception
The track has been well-received by fans. It has gotten good airplay on radio and has been getting play time on BET's 106 & Park and on MTV's Suckerfree countdowns. The single has also charted well. It has become Chamillionaire's first top 5 hit and has pushed The Sound of Revenge to Platinum sales.
Remixes
There have been multiple remixes of Ridin' circulating around radio. The remixes feature UGK, Papoose, Jae Millz, The Game, Rasaq, Fabolous, and more. The purpose of the remixes are to represent locations. For example, the track with UGK talks about Houston's HPD. The remix with Jae Millz and Papoose describe the NYPD and the one with The Game describes the West Coast's infamous police departments. There is also a version on a mixtape called the "Ridin' ATL Remix", which uses recycled verses from, Big Boi, Lil' Scrappy, T.I. & Young Jeezy. The song, unlike the other's does not discuss the actual Atlanta Police Department and is not counted as a real remix.
