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.’”

Excerpt From www.stonesthrow.com

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.

What up everyone,

So….me and a couple of my friends rolled out to check out Night Life at the Knitting Factory in Hollywood. All I can say is I had an amazing time. That place was PACKED! I had nothing but good times from the moment of arrival to our inevitable exit. What’s awesome is I got there before the 1030pm cut-off and we all got in for free. The drinks were pretty cheap, but really strong and on top of that there were a lot of pretty ladies in the mix. It was all I could expect when you have 90s classic hiphop playing all night. It was a treat seeing Babu and Rhettmatic mixin it up and it got even crazier when Peanut Butter Wolf started the music video mix. Honestly I was already beyond wasted during the first part of his set and unfortunately I didn’t stick around long enough for the rest but I did get to rock out. Sorry I don’t have pictures because I forgot the camera at home, and my camera phone sucks ass to the point where I’d rather have my eyes gouged than have to look at anything that comes out of it. Ha ha!
