Charizma “Methods”
Here’s a track entitled Methods from Charizma’s and Peanut Butter Wolf’s album Big Shots
. They were both signed under Disney-owned Hollywood Basics back in 1990.
“They landed themselves a record deal with the Disney-owned Hollywood Basics label, home of Organized Konfusion, and for the next year they’d both follow a strict regiment of making music all day long, taking breaks for pinball and apple juice, and learning the fundamentals of battling a major label over artistic integrity. As it turns out, Walt Disney wasn’t much of a hip hop expert. After recording about an album’s worth of material, the only thing released was a promo cassette of their song “Right Light Green Light.’”

They were on the verge of blowing up but unfortunately Charizma was murdered in 1993. It’s safe to say that Charizma will live on as one of the greatest Hip Hop emcees of all time.
