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!
