Señor Kaos
Vintage Imperial representative Señor Kaos is riding the buzz of his newest release, Swagger Is Nothing, Talent Is Everything Version 2.0. The free project is an unmixed mixtape with plenty of proof that substance and content still count. URB.com, Creative Loafing, TheOvun and DJBooth.net have all co-signed the release as must-have. Bloggers are also supporting tremendously, with plugs on Smoking Section, Rock The Dub, Lavish Life Social Club, and tons more. The mixtape features production from Kanye West, SL One, DJ Rob Wonder, Johnny Euphonic, and a posse of extraordinary beat conducters, alongside cameos from Grand Agent, Amdex, Collective Efforts, and Jax (Binkis Recs).
Content, Delivery, and Showmanship are the three core values for Atlanta emcee Señor Kaos, an emerging lyricist whos unique approach to hip hop has sent him around the Globe. As an Emcee, Marketer, and Blogger, this artist’s persona and work ethic makes it hard to disagree with his self-proclaimed title as “Cultural Influencer.”
Señor Kaos emerges from a dissolving Hip Hop world where who you know, means more than what you do, representing what Hip Hop was and what it should be today.
With Hip Hop culture changing across the board and becoming over – saturated with the same stories of poverty, violence, and ignorance, the opportunity for a new voice to be heard is evident. “What you are all witnessing is the metamorphosis from a young hopeful to the leader of the new school. Señor Kaos is a true undergound monarch.” – Performer Magazine
Kaos got his start in the music business at just 15 years old where he would sneak into local nightclub’s, and enter MC battles, open mics, etc. At 20 years old Kaos was able to finance, secure distribution and release his own record independently. “I worked a telemarketing job to finance my first project. After securing distribution for it’s release, it went on to sell 2,000 copies with no major radio play, no video, and no press. “
By the age of 22 with clever content and a great stage show, Kaos’ music has allowed him to see crowds all over, from the U.S., Australia, and Japan.
Over the years Señor Kaos has shared the stage with artists and DJ’s such as:
MF DOOM, Jazzy Jeff, Big Daddy Kane, Pharoahe Monch, Slum Village, Clipse, Little Brother, Masta Ace, Wordsworth, Punchline, Maskpyke, Maseo(De La Soul), Pete Rock, Biz Markie, Raekwon and Ghostface (Wu-Tang), Ali Shaheed Muhammed(ATCQ), Termanology, Prince Paul, Tony Touch, Dj Premier, Questlove, Mad Skillz, Akrobatik, Jeru The Damaja, Del The Funky Homosapien and many others.
In 2003 as Kaos became more frustrated with the stagnant state of the music industry, his passion for promotion and coordinating led him to create Vintage Imperial Marketing and Promotion a lifestyle marketing company that specializes in Branding, Consulting, Sampling, and Guerilla Marketing.
At 25 years of age this young self -made businessman shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon.
“I have a passion for being around good music and good people, and I’m lucky enough to make a living being around both.”
Señor Kaos’ advice to other aspiring artist: “You have to define what you own definition of success is. For some artist selling a million records defines success, for others touring the world is success. You have to figure out what works for you. My goal as an emcee is to share my perspective of life through musical poetry that will appeal to all open minds. Making a living doing what I Love, that’s success to me.”
“Learn the name. Remember the face. This man deserves respect.” – The Smoking Section
“This is music made by someone who really believes in music, and the results are astonishing.” – The Signal Newspaper
“The music grabbed me as soon as it came on.” - Southeasthiphop.com
“Kaos offers a strong single that fits into the best of hip hop traditions of good beats and good rhymes.” - Urbansmarts.com
“One of the most complete joints I’ve heard this year.” Undergroundhiphop.com
“Remember those Kellogg’s cereal variety packs back in the day? Well…this record is sort of like those, no matter what you are looking for, it’s got it.” - Manhunt.com
“He rhymes like he’s still in the park and rap never made it to Madison Square Garden.” - Southeast Performer Magazine
“Maybe someday he’ll help lead a revolution of artistic integrity in Hip Hop, but for now he’s an explosive and eclectic force to be reckoned with.” – Southeast Performer Magazine
“This young man has put in too much work to not get put on.” – Dj Booth.net

Alchemist Explains Prodigy's Penitentiary Philosophy, Refutes Illness Rumors
Despite being in the middle of serving a three year sentence for weapons possession [click to read], Mobb Deep's Prodigy has continued to make headlines. In addition to blogging for several media outlets, P has been sounding off on everything from his disdain of Jay-Z [click to read] to his thoughts on politics. While speaking exclusively with RealRapnewz Prodigy's friend and frequent collaborator, Alchemist, gave his take on the situation.
"There was some talk on the Internet about him being sick or something, and that’s just nonsense," Al tells RealRapNewz. "He’s actually healthier than I’ve seen him in a long time. I went to see him a bunch of times, and we send letters back and forth to keep in touch. His son is my little homie; I take him skateboarding and stay in touch with the family. P’s holding it down. Last time I saw him he was looking kinda brolic, like he’s been in there doing his push ups."
As far as P's take on world events, Alchemist believes there's a method to the madness, saying, "There’s nothing he wouldn’t imagine as a possibility, and he’s educated. He’s the type of guy who reads a lot, and he’s non-biased. So I give him credit—it’s not like he’s just speaking out the side of his neck."
When asked if Prodigy's world views influenced him to name is new EP [click to read] after the controversial Alchemist's Cookbook, the always in-demand producer explained his own formula for interpreting world events.
"I stay aware of everything," Al says. "I'm probably more leery than him. I check everything out, and I take everything with a grain of salt. I keep an open mind and read stuff. The truest thing is that ignorance is bliss. A lot of people aren't equipped to process a lot of the info that's out there, as far as the necessary evils of this world are concerned. That's when people start bugging out and falling down the rabbit hole. Next thing you know, you're looking at them like, 'This guy is out of his mind

Young Buck is a Cry Baby
Despite all his tough talk on wax Young Buck was reduced to tears when talking to Boo Boo on the phone. Apparently, he wants to be reinstated into G-Unit, but that doesn’t seem likely. Instead, 50 Cent will milk this for what it’s worth until he’s done promoting T.O.S. 50 barely interrupted him which should have been a dead giveaway that he was recording the conversation. Buck Marley is a dope rapper and all, but this right here is a low for him.
