MILLENIUM
Y2Kaos Theory
Emerging Overground

The Y2K Bug won't to the only mark of the millenium If one Maryland emcee can help it. 18-year old Clinton Green, a.k.a. MiHenium, says he plans to blaze trails through the Rap industry with Kaos Theory, a collection of true-to-life
tales and Rap revelations.

"All I do it state the obvious," says Millenium. "I'm not preachy, but my rhymes
have morals In them."

"If you steal and rob from people, you'll get caught up.  I rap about anything from love to, deep thoughts, to anything you can think of."

Millenium mixes his morals with a style he compares to East Coast rhymers like Nas,
the Wu-Tang Clan, and the late Notorious B.I.G. But he says his style is unique in that it focuses on everyday occurrences, not glamour or trashy
tales of gangsterism.

But Gangster Rap did play a large role in Millenium's decision to pick up the mic. His inspiration - Dr. Dre's watershed album, "The Chronic."

"At first, I wasn't into music at all." Millenium recounts. "When all of that stuff came out with East Coast vs. West Coast. I didn't even know the difference. I really didn't care."

But after hearing The Chronic and later Wu-Tang's "C.R.E.A.M." single, Millenium began writing his own rhymes. His handiwork soon caught the attention of Casino, his current manager, and they began a campaign to get him signed to a record label.

"I signed to House of Abdul: an Independent label," he says. "I signed with them because they're fearless. They aren't afraid to take chances. I do anything and everything."

Millenium Juggled schoolwork at Wheaton High School with Rap, making a name for him-self among local venues in Maryland. After the March release, Kaos Theory itself is making a debut In the South as well as New Jersey.

"Right now, I'm knocking on a lot of doors," he says. "Maybe somebody major will answer." But until he gets that answer. Millenium is enrolled in Strayer University in Maryland. The Rap artist is pursuing a computer networking degree.

"I don't care what anybody says," Milleniun stresses. "nobody is going anywhere without certification or an education, I'm always going to be talented. Whether Rap success comes today or tomorrow. It's going to come. I don't want any limits on me."

For Those Who Can’t Sleep On Hip Hop

Washington, DC has been known for many things throughout the years: corrupt politicians, crackhead mayors, out of control violence and the birth of Go Go music. D.C. really has never been known for its hip hop artists, until now. Meet Millenium, an 18 year old rapper who has seen a lot of things in his short life.

His flow is distinct and he paints vivid pictures with his rhymes and makes you feel his pain. This his debut album is definitely one of the premier albums of 2000. With songs like “How Far Will You Go,” I am convinced Millenium is the second coming of Kool G. Rap. The production work on this album is superior and (reminds me of Large Professor type tracks) compliment Millenium’s flow. One of the highlights of this album is the song “Fantasia” which is basically about creepin with your best friend’s lover. There are other jewels on this album, but one track I could have done without was “Gunpoint,” which incorporates a reggae feel. Overall it’s a slammin album.

     It may not be the end of the world, but the beginning of the new rap generation. Youngsters whose first taste of hip hop was the Wu-Tang Clan. “I didn’t listen to much rap until I heard C.R.E.A.M.,” says the 18-years-old Millenium born in Baltimore and raised in D.C. “The joint was so beautiful, I immediately started writing.”
When Clinton Greene, a.k.a. Millenium started writing rhymes, he went out and got battle tested. He won his high school’s prestigious Blue & Gold talent show for 2 consecutive years.

     On a local radio station, he dominated their weekend freestyle battle four months straight. His record is still unblemished – no one beat Millenium, he just stopped calling. “It was getting boring for me and the station.” He then called in to WPGC, one of the top radio stations in the country, and won the rhyme battle for the night. “I did not call again,” says Millenium. “People claiming to be me started getting on the air after that. It was so foul, that I no longer go by that name.” That was one of the reasons he wrote the first single, “How Far Will You Go” from the House Of Abdul’s debut album Kaos Theory.

Vibe Magazine Highlights

       You know we’ve hit a strange point in history when rappers begin declaring that their introduction to hip hop was neither a late-‘70s Cold Crush tape nor the Sugarhill Gang’s 1979 “Rapper’s Delight” nor even Run-D.M.C.’s 1984 “Sucker MC’s” but rather the Wu-Tang Clan’s 1993 hit “C.R.E.A.M.”


       Eighteen-year-old Washington, D.C. product Millenium freely admits that the Wu’s paper-chase primer inspired him to pursue rap music seriously. Fortunately, the Chocolate City man-child has put this influence to good use. Witness Millenium’s own elegantly gruff “ Fantasia” (House of Abdul, 703-751-1313), the B side to his “How Far Will You Go” single. Celestial strings and the sampled voice of the forever-solid gold Dionne Warwick Crooning “This enchanted love of ours…” provide setting for a story line that traces young infatuation through betrayal and lost love to, ultimately, death. Life as a shorty shouldn’t be so damn difficult.

MILLENIUM

Kaos Theory

       Floating with ease over a diverse set of beats and tempos, this young lyricists from Virginia attacks the mic with the combined charisma of Notorious B.I.G. and Keith Murray. From gritty jewels like “Run, Run, Run,” to the souled-out “Fantastia,” Millenium proves age still ain’t nuthin’ but a number.

   How far will you go to touch that green? That’s the question that House of Abdul recording artist Millenium asks the people of this unforgiving world.


 
    He speaks a conscious and impressionable message in this first single off his soon to be released self-titled album. Millenium credits his first listen to Wu-Tang dimepiece C.R.E.A.M. for giving him his motivation for writing. His first track “How Far Will You Go?” tests that same Wu philosophy of the mission of that mighty paper chase with a subtle flip of the script. Millenium has thought provoking lyrics that impose the pivotal rule that stupidness and negativity don’t mix. The hook asserts: “Everybody want it/ but everybody can’t have it/ it’s amazing what people will do just to grab it.” Millenium is a welcome addition to the Rap game as he comes to the bat with music that inspires. Millenium ends on this pertinent question. “ How far would you go? Far enough to die?”

Believe me, when you check cuts like “Run, Run, Run”, “How Far Will You Go?” and the title track, you’ll agree that this teen-aged terror’s got a very old soul.

Bugsy, for always keeping it real with me, and the entire Greene family: Nikki, Junior, Aunt Carol, Aunt Diane, Aunt Hazel, Uncle Waiter, Uncle Vybert, Uncle Mortimer, Aunt Judy, and Grandma, because all of them helped in raising me. I would also like to  thank Casino (one of the realest niggas I know next to my brothers and father) for having faith in a nigga and sticking with me through thick and thin, Abdullah Rufus for giving me a chance and making this happen, Paul Keller, a.k.a. Juel Diamante, for showing me how to be real without being a knucklehead, Francis Fefegula, a.k.a. Andreas Costello, for always letting me know what the deal was.

Casino: As we travel along this path destiny has laid forth, in order to be able to continue to reach new goals and accomplish great feats I must remember the people and actions that took place to get me (us) to this point: My first thanks is to Mill. & H.O.A. for sharing my vision and being dedicated enough to accomplish the goal we set to achieve.

After the long wait to hear my comments on Milleniums album I finally let you know what I think. After first receiving the CD I fell in love with how well organized and put together it was. The tracks stretch from Slow jam to Get up and party.
Personally I thought the first single released could have had better selections but it still had one of my favorites the Ga-mingh Technique which I still rock on my personal tapes.

Those who have checked out the radio show Know I feeling the second single including Fantasia and believe it was a perfect choice for the second single released. As my man RBI once said There are to many rumors going around about this cat. Which is true and I hope won't stop you firom purchasing the joint at a store near you. All I can say is don't believe what you hear until you get the facts. The album is off-the-hook in my opinion and I know I'm not the only one feeling this way.

Millenium: Bio Kaos Theory

     It is 1999 and everyone is talking about (the) Millenium.  It’s not the end of the world, but the beginning the new rap generation.  Not the first generation who grew up listening to funk and disco in the ‘70’s, but the youngsters whose first taste of hip-hop was Wu-Tang Clan.  "I didn’t listen to much rap until I heard ‘C.R.E.A.M.,’" says the 18 year-old Millenium.  "The joint was so beautiful, I immediately started writing."  Born in Baltimore and raised in DC, Clinton Greene has had the area watching for him like the other phenomenon of the same name.

        When Millenium started writing rhymes, he went out and got battle tested.  He won his high school’s prestigious Blue & Gold talent show for 2 consecutive years.  On a local radio station, he dominated their weekend freestyle battle four months straight.  His record is still unblemished -- no one beat Millenium, he just stopped calling.  "It was getting boring for me and the station."  He then called in to WPGC, one of the top radio stations in the country, and won the rhyme battle for that night.  "I did not call again," says Millenium.  "People claiming to be me started getting on the air after that.  It was so foul, that I no longer go by that name."  That was one of the reasons he wrote the single, "How Far Will You Go" from the House Of Abdul debut album KAOS THEORY.  "It’s a story about actions and consequences.  We often question ourselves in the quest for money -- how far will you go?"

     KAOS THEORY is a collection of vivid tales about the chaotic nature of life.   More stories about actions and consequences abound with joints like "Run, Run, Run,"  "Too Hot," and "All Up In The Game" featuring Jady Experience.  Hip-hop braggadocio is the theme on "Street Wars" and "Gunpoint" with Rah Dee and Raul.  It’s his grasp on relationships with "Fantasia," a tale about love, lust, and betrayal, that demonstrates his superior penmanship.

     "I just want to write some nice songs for the people to listen to and get something from," says Millenium. KAOS THEORY will reach the people and make sure that the young man’s words remain powerful for the next 1000 years.

Millenium is approaching!

Millenium’s Kaos Theory: Rhyme & Reason

written by Millenium
From the lp Kaos Theory
Published by The Infinite Loop, ASCAP
Publicity Contact: arufus@houseofabdul.com
© 1999 House of Abdul




The intention of "Kaos Theory" was to show the youth of
today commonly referred to as "Generation X" through
detailed stories the consequences of the "fast life" and to let
them know that we got*s to change things and show
improve. The Millennium is nearing and I can't fight a battle
with blind soldiers armageddon is near! 

1. Rhyme-Run,Run,Run

Reason-I wrote run mainly to symbolize the thought process

of a confused, young, poverty stricken black male wanting to
make a better life for himself but going about it in a way that has
severe repercussion as many of today's young black males do. The
hook is the message i send to my listeners that no matter what
you do or where you go the outcome of your actions will always
come back to you.

2. Rhyme-Fantasia

Reason-Fantasia is nothing new to anyone who has ever had a

close male or female friend that they wanted to be more than just
friends with. Fantasia is a story of love, lust and betrayal that ends
in a suicide. I wrote this because I ( like many other people) was
fascinated by a female but found that a relationship is not always
the solution.

3. Rhyme-She's leaving with me

Reason-I wrote this song after listening to the late great

Notorious B.I.G. "Big Poppa" wanted to make a smooth kind
of upbeat dance song without being to "Pop". In the song i
describe an average night at the club with your usual beverages
and those familiar faces from the past.

4. Rhyme-How far will you go?

Reason-In writing this song i wanted to send a message to
those young and old who choose to chase that "Fast" lifestyle
that it's not worth it and the outcome can be very harmful. lnstead
of just coming out and preaching to them i told a story in which
the character in it pays the ultimate price for the lifestyle he .
chose. I felt that this would get through to the listeners better that
an old fashioned "don't do wrong" speech would.

5. Rhyme-Gunpoint

Reason-This is a direct insult and threat to all mc's who want

a challenge. I wrote t^s because m4he rap game if you don't
make it known that your not taking anything from anybody other
artists and critics will take shots at your credibility and worth as
an artist.

6. Rhyme-Wish you was here?

Reason-I had to write this song to express my sympathy and

show that i know what my peoples is feeling when they use a
loved one in the struggle between good and evil. I was inspired by
the death of a very close friend who did not die from doing the
wrong thing but died trying to make a better life for himself the
right way.

7. Rhyme-Too hot

Reason-I was inspired to write this song after listening to yet

another song from the late great Notorious B.I.G."Somebody's
Gotta Die". The story line of that song was so vivid it was as if you
were actually going through the situation. This is why i chose to
write this song and a majority of my other songs with so much
detail so that i too could captivate the audience as he did with a
story so surreal you have to remind yourself that you are
listening to a song and not living it.

8. Rhyme- All up in the game

Reason -This song was written to show the depth and

ambition of a young male to be financially stable and at the same
time confront the hunger within himself on a mental level. While
the featured guess speaks on the actions of a "wanna be
hardcore" rapper.

9. Rhyme –Everclear

Reason -Everclear is the story of what it took for me to get

where i am at and where i might be going. I wrote the chorus with
a message to those wanting to pursue a career in the hip-hop
industry telling them that there is a price to pay but if you go
about your business right all hard work will be rewarded.

10. Rhyme-Street Wars

Reason-If somebody crosses me or any of my peoples i strike

back a million times harder than the blow that was dealt me. It's
the law of the land. You harm me and mine than consider your
life a memory

11. Rhyme -Ga-mingh Technique

Reason -The Ga-mingh technique is a message to all young

women out there who take pride and pleasure in sleeping with
various partners and turning their backs on friends and common
sense. Basically I wrote it to let the females know that men are
not the ones who should be faulted every time for cheating. We all
have to take our share of the blame. I was inspired to write this
song after listening to Nas' "black girl lost".

12. Rhyme -The remedy

Reason-This song is the code of the streets. All I did was

bring it to a bigger stage using a story of revenge to entangle my
listeners and bind them to the song hoping to make known to the
world that this is why having heart means respect and respect
means royalty.

13. Rhyme-Kaos Theory

Reason -This was a look into the struggle inside the mind of a

young man trying to get a grip on reality or at least a shred of
sanity. wrote this because at times i have had thoughts of suicide
and questioned my own mental state as many others my age
struggling do.
