Kamilion Phantom Feat K-Dub




The multi-talented Singer and Rapper KAMILION Phantom is well respected in the Abj underground music scene. Like a shapeshifter he has turned his talents to various projects including managing a successful media company, UK Fashion Modelling and documentary filmmaking. After intense musical inspiration by UK hip hop group IDH, Kamilli decided to take his hip hop/R&B hybrid music mainstream. With a smooth singing voice and hard hitting rap lyrics, he is set to break traditions in both music genres. He started writing songs when he was a teenager in secondary school while he was a member of a dance group. He started recording music in 2006 at Gold Lynx studios in Abuja, where artists like Asa and Mode 9 have cut popular tracks. He is also a film editor and web designer and has run a guerrilla style media company (www.yinventures.com) since 2004.Through his eclectic and interesting life experiences all over the world, Kam has a lot of subject matter fresh for delivery.  Recently collaborating with MOBO award winning UK singer and producer Jai Amore and Naija rapper K Dub, his highest priority is delivering high quality sounds through irresistible instrumentals and high substance vocals. He is inspired not only by hip hop and R&B, but also dancehall, techno, samba, Fuji, classical and funky house music. “I believe in holistic inspiration; not being confined to what I already know; thinking and creating outside the box”, states the uniquely creative artist. “Kamilion isn’t just a name. It’s a description of who I am. I have tracks for both the Naija crowd and the global crowd. I’ve recorded almost two albums worth of tracks to be slowly released. ”
KAMILION has a multi-faceted and natural lyrical talent and despite being experienced in business, creative arts are an equally burning passion. Also a poetry and fiction writer, he is currently in talks with The Naija Channel for a feature film script development deal in Nigeria, but is currently based in the UK. He is currently working on the Sazzy and DJ Atte mixtape “THE TAKEOVER”. Stay tuned for updates.

Amazon Ships Lil Wayne's 'Rebirth' to Fans Months Ahead Of Street Date



Billboard reports:

While most of Lil Wayne's fans will have to wait until at least February in the New Year for his often-promised and often-delayed "Rebirth" album, about 500 Amazon customers who pre-ordered the album are enjoying the record already, thanks to a shipping mishap.

According to sources and an e-mail to Billboard from an Amazon customer, the online merchant sent copies of the album to some customers who pre-ordered "Rebirth." The album began arriving in mailboxes on Monday, Dec. 14, despite a change in the street date from Dec. 21 to February 1.

The release date change - the sixth time "Rebirth" was pushed to a new date - was made last month by Universal Motown, the distributing label for Cash Money, and its distributor Universal Music Group Distribution. Universal Motown and UMGD recalled the album, but roughly one million units were manufactured and about one-third were shipped to accounts when the decision was made to pull "Rebirth" from the schedule, sources say.

Although Amazon received the word to return the Lil Wayne album, supposedly about 500 copies were sent to customers. An Amazon spokesman didn't respond to an e-mail request for a comment.

The decision was made because the latest single from the album "On Fire," is still building. Digital scans of the single since its early December release total almost 6,000 units, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
