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.
