With his overt sociopolitical/spiritual stance (as a registered member of the Nation of Islam under the Leadership of the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan -since Jan. 11th, 1991), extremely rare for a West Coast rapper, Kam's angst-ridden brand of hardcore rap helped set the mark by which other socially-conscious emcees would be (and still are) judged. Originally affiliated with Ice Cube, Kam's releases appeared sporadically, initially debuting on the Boyz N the Hood Movie soundtrack in 1991 with his song, "Every Single Weekend". Kam later released his first solo album in early 1993 entitled, "Neva Again"--on East/West Atlantic Records. He immediately became a household/HOODhold-name with his 1st single, "Peace Treaty" which chronicled the Historic Los Angeles GANG TRUCE between the Crips & the Bloods following the 1992 Unrest in L.A. due to the 'Not Guilty' Verdicts handed down to the policemen accused of brutality in the infamous Rodney King beating-case. His powerful sophomore release, "Made in America" was released to critical acclaim in 1995, although a lack of commitment from the Label, due to the merger between Warner/Elektra/Atlantic (WEA), and his Spiritual/Political stance at the time, eventually led to his departure. He took some time off in the late '90s to pursue other interests before returning in 2001 with his indie release of "KAMnesia" (on J COR Records). An ambitious album that found him further engaging street audiences, but with a more radio/club-friendly appeal to his insightful rhymes. KAMnesia would also go Un-promoted due to J COR Records filing for bankruptcy just weeks after the album's release. Today however, Kam is in production on his new album, "Self & Kind", with features from SnoopDogg, Akon, Nate Dogg, Tyrese, Game, & other Rap-Heavyweights; As well as production from such Legends as Dr. Dre, D.J. Pooh, BattleCat & Sir Jinx, This album is sure to be another "Controversial Classic". ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------*Kam has also just Released a STRICTLY "(NOI)-NATION OF ISLAM-BASED ALBUM" Called, "FRUIT PRUNOMore than Bow-Ties & Bean-Pies", which features STRICTLY "NOI-RELATED SONGS & HIP-HOP ARTISTS." .Like All of Kam's Album-Projects, This CD is Another ADDITION to Kam's GROUNDBREAKING, PIONEERING Body Of Work -in the Area of Socially/Spiritually-Conscious, Hard-Core, Street HIP-HOP! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (NOI HISTORY):
For thousands of years, the people who did not have the knowledge of the person, or reality, of God worshiped their own ideas of God. He has been made like many things other than what He really is.
"Allah(God) came to us from the Holy City Mecca, Arabia, in 1930. He used the name Wallace D. Fard, often signing it W.D. Fard. In the third year (1933), He signed His name W.F. Muhammad, which stands for Wallace Fard Muhammad. He came alone. He began teaching us the knowledge of ourselves, of God and the devil, of the measurement of the earth, of other planets, and of the civilizations of some of the planets other than earth.
"He measured and weighed the earth and its water; the history of the moon; the history of the two nations, black and white, that dominate the earth. He gave the exact birth of the white race; the name of their God who made them, and how; and the end of their time, the Judgment, and how it will begin and end.
"He taught us the truth of how we were made "slaves" and how we are kept in slavery by the "slave-masters" children. He declared the doom of America, for evils to us, was past due; and that she is number one to be destroyed. Her judgment could not take place until we hear the Truth.
"He declared that we were without the knowledge of self or anyone else. How we had been made blind, deaf and dumb by this white race of people; and how we must return to our people, our God and His religion of peace(Islam), the religion of the prophets. We must give up the slave names of our slave-masters and accept the name of Allah(God), or one of His Divine Attributes. He also taught us to give up all evil doings and practices, and do righteousness or be destroyed from the face of the earth.
"He taught us that the slave-masters had taught us to eat the wrong food and that this wrong food is the cause of our sickness and short span of life. He declared that He would heal us and set us in heaven at once, if we would submit to Him; otherwise, He would chastise us with a severe chastisement until we did submit; and that He was able to force the whole world into submission to His Will. He said that He loved us (the so-called Negroes), His lost and found, so well that he would eat rattlesnakes to free us if necessary, for He has power over all things.
"I asked Him, 'Who are you, and what is your real name?' He said, 'I am the One that the world has been expecting for the past 2,000 years.' I said to Him again, 'What is your name?' He said, 'My name is Mahdi. I am God. I came to guide you into the right path that you may be successful and see the hereafter.' "
-- From the book, MESSAGE TO THE BLACK MAN, by The Hon. Elijah Muhammad
"Who is the Mahdi? He is a man, a human being, yet in Him is the Guidance, Knowledge, Wisdom and Power to bring religion back to its right state; to destroy the enemies of the True Path of God; and to lay the Base for the Kingdom of Islam(Peace), which Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was appointed to give a sign of.
"The very ritual of Hajj is a sign of what the world will be like in totality when the Mahdi establishes the Kingdom of Islam(Peace). In that day, there will be no racism to corrupt the Spirit of Islam. There will be no sexism, there will be no materialism and there will be no nationalism. All of the corrupters of the True Spirit of Islam will be completely destroyed.
"The Holy Qur'an, in its application, is preparation to live in the Hereafter. The "Hereafter" is here, on Earth, after the destruction of the power of the wicked to interfere with the establishment of the Kingdom of Islam. In that new world, there will be no need for a law that punishes adultery, homosexuality, rape, murder, theft or any offense, because there will be no lawbreakers.
"The Holy Qur'an teaches that in the Hereafter, there will be "no vain discourse", only peace. This implies a place where there is only righteousness and complete submission to the Will of Allah, for there is no peace without submission to His Will.
"The Honorable Elijah Muhammad said that Islam as we know it will not be in the Hereafter. The principles will remain, but there will be a totaly new knowledge. He said that the Hereafter is a continuation of this life on the highest plane of existence. It is the life we knew before the Fall of Adam. The One Who brings about this Reality is not a prophet; He is the Manifestation of God.
"Master Fard Muhammad, The Great Mahdi, came to North America by Himself. He is a Master with the Knowledge and Understanding of the root of this world. His Knowledge enables Him to uproot this world and begin a new one. His complete understanding of our illness, and the illness of the entire human family, enabled Him to design a medicine(teaching) to heal us.
Master Fard Muhammad is the Conduit through Whom the Message from the Lord of the worlds came to us.
He is alive and has Absolute Power to bring His Will into fruition because His Will is in complete harmony with the Eternal Will of the Originator of the Heavens and the Earth."
~The Honorable Louis Farrakhan~
