There has been so many different rumours and news about Malaysian tamil hiphop group, Chakrasonic. What’s really going on?

Chakrasonic initially started off as backup dancers for an established Malaysian group, Poetic Ammo. Constantly being in the background made them frustrated and in 2000, they left the group in an ill-mannered way and went on to pursue a career as rappers themselves. In the same year, they struck a deal with Indian record label Dhanosh Records, where the label agreed to pay $15,000 as a finance to record an album. Chakrasonic also signed a contract which tied them to Dhanosh for 5 years and recorded “Kalai Oru Por”. The albums first single was a controversial one. “Natpu Illai” was a track which dissed lead rapper of Poetic Ammo, Yogi B and lyrics reffered him as a backstabber, cheater and liar. Though the group will continue to deny this, the singer who did the chorus for this song was actually Yogi B’s sister herself. She was tricked into recording this song not knowing that it was actually a diss to her own brother.

The group also further embarrassed themselves among established lyricists as their lyrics were just mere translations from English rap songs. For Example:

2pac's Hailmary-

I ain't a killer but don't push me/ Revenge is like the sweetest joy next to gettin pussy/

Vivek's verse:

Naan kolbavan alle/Anne Uruesi pakathe melle/Kondhue Palli/Penggal sungemena Valli/

After the release of their debut album., the group left Dhanosh once again in ill-manered terms though this was technically impossible as the group was yet to complete its 5 year contract. Chakrasonic eventually went on to record their second album after 3 years titled “Kodi Kelviyin Bathil”. This album further tarnished the groups reputation for the following reasons:

- They did not pay the studio the money for recordings and still owe a few thousand dollars to Platinum Studio.
- They cheated the composers of music from this album by not paying them the money promised and to date still owes the producers a few thousand dollars as well.

Also to further complicate issues, the group could not release the album under any other label other than Dhanosh Records as they had yet to complete their contract with the label. But they broke the terms of their contract with Dhanosh and started to approach a new distributor to release the album.

Digital Tones was the victim. The group initially agreed with Digital Tones and released Kodi Kelviyin Bathil with this new label. Of course, the fact that they were still signed with Dhanosh was never brought up and Digital Tones did not even realise this mistake. Chakrasonic proceeded to launch their album at a restaurant with an average crowd turn out. At the back of the CD, the logo and wordings “Distributed by Digital Tones” were printed and the CD was sold to those who attended the event.

Just after the event, the distribution deal for the album was dropped by Digital Tones after the company found out that this group had tricked them into an agreement while still on contract with Dhanosh. The group not knowing what to do, approached an non-indian label, NAR Records to release the album. The CD’s which were previously printed with the Digital Tones logo were re-packed and NAR records printed stickers to be pasted on top of the Digital Tones logo to cover up this problem. Of course, NAR Records is still in the dark about the fact Chakrasonic has yet to complete their contractual agreement with Dhanosh Records.

Now the group is apparently working on their third album DESPITE the fact that they owe thousands of dollars to producers and the recording studios.

One of the board members of Multimedia Univerisity, Cyberjaya has even stated that the group requested the following as part of their payment for a 30 minute show at the university.

- Women to sleep with
- one large bottle of liquor
- Weed/Ganja
- Plus a high amount of payment

The group is also constantly spotted at Waikiki pub in PJ half drunk and womanizing. Imagine the irony of not paying studios and producers but spending the money on liquors and women. That’s the sad outcome of Chakrasonic. The group is also known for being a copycat.

Example:
The Intro from their last album was an EXACT rip off, from Tupac's Betta Dayz album. One of the photos from the inlay was also an exact copy of the inlay from a Death Row Records album.
