produced by True to the Street Productions.
"I named the mixtape 'Everybody Hates Chris 3' as a follow up to the sequel
because we live in a day and age where people just love to hate on your success
and desire your downfall," says Gillie of his promotional release that also
features Internet heavyweight sensation artist !LLa Scorsese (1st Class), Biggie
Tom, and Narrow."I've been there, plus my real name is Chris Giles, so I just
thought it was a cool to stick with the concept."
