Los Angeles, CA. (Top40 Charts/ J/Polo Grounds Music) - Fix your face playa because it's official! Having claimed the No. 2 position on Billboard's Mastertone chart for 6 straight weeks with over 1.2 million tones sold to date, Hurricane Chris' "A Bay Bay" has migrated from Shreveport, LA (aka "Ratchet City") to around the world as THE biggest surprise hit of the summer. To date, the full track has sold 415,000 units and ranks No. 5 and No. 7 on Nielsen SoundScan's Hot Digital and Digital Songs charts, respectively.

The infectious Phunk Dawg-produced single quickly became a national catchphrase with a peak position of No. 7 and No. 11 on Billboard's Hot 100 and Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs charts, respectively. The accompanying video was a staple on BET's 106 & Park, where it recently reached No. 1 on the popular show's countdown. The video also peaked at No. 5 on MTV's Total Request Live.

Riding off the excitement of the original single, Hurricane Chris enlisted an all-star lineup for the "A Bay Bay (Ratchet Remix)" which includes The Game, Baby, Jadakiss, Lil Boosie, and Angie Locc from Lava House. Hurricane Chris recently premiered the remix version of the video on BET's 106 & Park and the video can currently be viewed on SONYBMG MusicBox Portal: https://musicbox.sonybmg.com/video/hurricane_chris/a_bay_bay. The extended version of the video featuring E-40 can be seen on YouTube at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rXUyZXuu1A4.
For those quick to dismiss Hurricane Chris' first single as a novelty hit will soon discover there's more to the 18 year-old when he showcases his ferocious freestyling skills in the booth on BET's Rap City on August 13th. Hurricane Chris will hit the late-night TV circuit with a performance on Jimmy Kimmel Live on September 7th. Additionally, Hurricane Chris will be featured on an upcoming episode of MTV's'My Super Sweet'16 and will also perform on the Ozone Awards, airing for the first time on MTV Jams over the Labor Day Weekend (September 1-3).

Every music genre has its landmark movements and moments and the movement at the moment is "Ratchet" with Hurricane Chris leading the charge. From the drum and bass driven tracks to the Rick James Dance, the Ratchet Movement reflects the culture, attitude and swagger of Shreveport, all of which will be heard on Hurricane Chris' debut album, 51/50 Ratchet , set for release this fall on J/Polo Grounds Music. Executive produced by Mr. Collipark (Ying Yang Twins,Soulja Boy, David Banner, Bubba Sparx) and Polo Grounds Music's President Bryan Leach (Lil' Jon, Ying Yang Twins, Pitbull), 51/50 Ratchet, which means 101% Real, will feature additional production by Phunk Dawg, who also produced the next single from the album, "The Hand Clap."
