How did Hurricane Chris Make His Money & Wealth?
Born on February 27, 1989, in Shreveport, Louisiana, Hurricane Chris launched his rap career shortly after dropping out of high school. In 2007, he released his debut single, A Bay Bay. From there, he released two mixtapes, Louisi-Animal and You Hear Me?, both of which drew local attention. By the end of the year, his popularity had landed him a music deal with J Records.
His debut album, 51/50 Ratchet was later dropped on October 23, 2007. Supported by three singles, one of which included his breakthrough hit, A Bay Bay, it had entered the Billboard 200 at number 24, with over 26,000 first week sales. Some highlights from the playlist include Leaving You, Do Something, Walk Like That, and New Fashion.
Two years later, Hurricane Chris released his second album titled, Unleashed. His final project with J Records, it featured production from Fiend, Shawty Redd, and Play-N-Skillz, among others. Though the album did not chart internationally, it did reach as high as number 20 on the Billboard Top Rap Albums and number 46 on the Hip-Hop Albums chart.
As you can probably expect, the rapper would have banked some from the above-mentioned albums. In addition to them, however, he’s also churned out several mixtapes over the years including Louisi-Animal, Category 5, Caniac, and Hurricane Season. Most recently, he came out with King Cane on March 7, 2017.
In addition to all that, he’s also worked with several other rappers on many occasions. For example, he has collaborated with Mike Jones on the song Drop & Gimme 50 and with Lil Josh & Ernest on Jigga Juice, both of which charted in the U.S.
Though he’s not on tour at this time, the rapper has put on several concerts in the past. Considering the nature of his work, it’d only make sense that he’d pull in a decent amount of earnings from such events.
As far as other money-making ventures go, it’s likely that he also pulls in some amount of money from his YouTube channel (assuming that his content is monetized through Google Ads). Since its launch in 2006, his music videos have earned him over 64,000 subscribers with more than 6.7 million views.
