     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.
