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."
