By: Yves Erwin Salomon

In the coming weeks, Houston-based rapper Chamillionaire will release "Grown & Sexy" as the third single and video from his platinum album The Sound Of Revenge. The rapper told us: "The new single is 'Grown & Sexy.'I just had to do something for another audience, which is the females, because, you know, I did something for the clubs, 'Turn It Up.'I did something for the streets with 'Ridin'.'Now we fittin'to capture the females with 'Grown & Sexy'."

Chamillionaire has also been dealing with a lot of pressure to return to the studio to record a new album, but the rapper plans to take his time. He told MTV.com, "I believe in pushing my records until the wheels fall off. I might have to slow down on (recording) 'cause I might even be able to get another million out of my album. I'm about to go overseas, we have a lot of remixes to the 'Ridin'record, and we'll do some remixes for 'Grown & Sexy'too, just to keep on pushin'my album."

The rapper, who plans to begin the recording process while touring, has also had to deal with his new-found celebrity since "Ridin'Dirty" featuring Krayzie Bone hit Number One on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart. Chamillionaire said: "A lot of this stuff is new to me, man, you know? I still try to stay grounded, but it's crazy when everybody is telling you, 'You the greatest,'you know what I'm sayin'?"
