THA FUTURE x B. PALMA = OVER 21 - "YES, YES YA'LL"
http://usershare.What's good everyone! I would like to announce that for my next project I am working on a collaborative EP along side my homie, B. Palma entitled, "The Morning After" and our moniker together will be known as 'OVER 21' when we do music together. What does OVER 21 mean you ask? It's simple...think Party Life, Grown & Sexy, Relationships, etc. It's that pivotal moment in everyone's life where these instances occur. With our first official release, we are breaking two records at once, "Yes, Yes Ya'll" and "Make You Say." These are warm up records of what's to come in the near future. Hope you all give it a chance and join the new movement that is OVER 21!! -- FUTURE & B. PALMA

*SPECIAL* Sigmund's Dope™ - The Curious Case of Charles Hamilton (contributions made by JUDAH)
(contributions made by JUDAH)
If you thought Kanye West was bad, think again.
Meet Charles Hamilton. Lyrical genius. Mixtape maniac. Publicity whore.....and it's sad. Sad to the point to where I'm actually sad...for him. Remembering back to 2008 when I first heard of the kid and his Death of A Mixtape Rapper, I thought that Hamilton's spaced and tie-dyed mind would be one to bring some color into the black and blue-fisted face of hip-hop music, beaten by commercialism and smeared with scoops of poo. He had an obscure mind, crazy almost (at which I find attractive) and seemed willing to break the status quo of typical mixtape drops. The guy, to date, has put out a listing of nearly 50 compilations between 2007 and 2010 with some still waiting on a release date. He's no slouch and when people say quality over quantity, his work maintains the former and bolsters the latter, making him one formidable mouthpiece. It's just unfortunate that he did not emerge in 1996 because in this age, internet has killed the video star as morbidly put by the Limousines---and Charles Hamilton is committing suicide.
It was brought to my attention that Hamilton was at it again, appearing as if he was on drugs. The last time I tuned into the guy, he had recently checked out of the psych ward somewhere in NY. Why did he do this? Is he really crazy? Is he on drugs? Who knows? At this rate, how are we supposed to care? Hamilton has audaciously pushed multiple publicity stunts down the throats of the internet obsessed and I think he loves it. Kinda like a rapist who prefers sex with cancer patients. Sadistic, yes but the behavior here resembles something of a power that only increases from negative kinetics, thus Charles Hamilton. Given his talent and his background I wouldn't think that this type of mind would compromise his talents for spotlight in front of the finicky audiences of the internet, readily strapped to skeet their comments and disgruntled thoughts on message boards that satisfyingly leave them pleasured. I didn't think that he needed to do that. But to him, it seems that he needs to present himself as this...this...being. IDK WTF...
Charles Hamilton has put on an internet media circus with a scheme of stunts, including but not limited to: getting his jaw rocked by his assistant, getting beat-up by some OTHER female, checking into an insane asylum, releasing stories of being murdered by Soulja Boy and the most recent getting totally jujitsu-ed by battle rapper Serius Jones earlier this week at a barbershop in Harlem. It's seriously like watching a cheap Cinemax version of Kanye West---and we know he the runs the finest publicity stunts on mainstream networks. If it's a matter of gaining the attention of more people, it's somewhat understandable; however, when your audience is mainly internet-based and are as revolving as the doors at the Waldorf, then Mr. Hamilton please understand that none of them are there to stay. They're only checking in, then checking out. You are setting a fine example of what corporal punishment would look like by millions of viewers Mr. Hamilton.
Maybe I should have written an open letter.....Russell??

Apollo 13
Apollo 13
Creative, Artistic, Innovative, and Unique are all characteristics
routinely used to define Apollo 13. Apollo 13 consists of two member
Dredz & K1da, both MC’s & Producers in their own rite, began as
childhood friends in the DMV area. After discovering their mutual
desire for creating music in 2002, along with the inspiration from
Phonte, Big Pooh and 9th Wonder (Little Brother), they decided to get
serious about making their own much needed mark on the music industry.
Developing their own unique sound that continues to set them apart
from other DMV artists, they have been compared to the world renowned
group, A Tribe Called Quest, but with a new school edge. With their
highly anticipated album Open Mic, (totally written and self-produced
by Dredz & K1da) slated to set the DMV on fire, Apollo 13 is expected
to leave the Hip-Hop genre at a standstill. Containing the certified
hits; Fly Sh*t, Swagtastic and Rooftop Dreamz, Open Mic defines the
true definition of real Hip-Hop at its finest. Recently the song
“Rooftop Dreamz” was featured in the DMVs own Kapital Magazine, and
they’ve had the privilege of having their music in rotation on various
internet radio station outlets. With more achievements to come, Apollo
13 will continue to stay true to their roots in the DMV while gaining
support not only from their hometown, but also from everyone
throughout the entire universe, all the while, “Taking Music Out Of
This World.”
