Many Reasons. First of all I am always changing, physical appearance wise as well as metaphorically. Second Reason "khamelijon" is definitly an expression of my many rap stylings and flows. Every song you hear of mine will sound like it came from a different artist which is about right cause every track has a different feel.

I do shows all across West Michigan, and have done a few shows out of the Region, the Best would be Live in Cancun on March 15th, 2003 I rocked about 3000+ College Co-eds in a tropical paradise.

It makes it all that much better for promotion and distribution. Though it does make the (ever SO IMPORTANT) album sales fall, and that's definitely bad for the "Business" aspect of music.

If the right oppertunity comes (yes) I will do more than whatever it takes to make sure that I will be a success, artistically and in industry.

"Best of Both Worlds"

Khamelijon, “John Lee” of Grand Rapids, Michigan, has spent his whole life living in two ethnic worlds. Born a Mulatto, his father a black man born in the 30’s who has known oppression all too well growing up in the inner-city of Canton, Mississippi, and his mother a teacher and well-educated white woman whom spent almost her whole life living in Michigan. Unafraid of his background he’s spent his whole life mimicking between his father’s family and his mother’s. He learned quickly that there is a common misconception that the “Hybrid Race” may have no place in society, constantly shunned by both sides of their heritage. Khamelijon and his brother Nigma, “Hosea James Haralson, Jr.” whom created the melodious and dynamic beats backing his brother’s tracks, prove however, that it’s not an obstacle but an advantage almost coining the phrase all over again, “The Best of Both Worlds”.

Khamelijon brings everything he is and has experienced into his songs. His lyrical depth on some tracks may leave you searching for an encyclopedia, and the catchy pop tunes will have you singing along to every song. He has an innate ability to evoke into his music the very best in his life, and allow the music to flow wonderfully throughout every track. Khamelijon and Nigma have created a whole new genre of music. Rap pop, the name speaks for itself, this is a genre long overlooked yet holds some of the best money makers ever to hit the business.

The only challenge he’s had to overcome in his career is the constant attack on his not so hard-core lyrics. This is easily shrugged off however, knowing that a child can listen with their parents to an album from start to finish and not have to worry about the explicitness of the song and they can focus more on the content of the music. The teenybopper image has been thrown around a few times, in a few interviews, Khamelijon replied by guaranteeing album sales for whichever label he chooses to entrust with his career. Imagine a marketable Eminem, minus (-) the controversy; add (+) the skills. Also taken into account the energetic stage performance in which he commands attention and respect from the audience, along with dance skills equaling that of *Nsync or Sisqo. This kid is almost a no miss in the music industry. Black, White, Red, Yellow, or Green it doesn’t matter; when the track hits the radio and the people can’t get enough, then you’ll know that Khamelijon has the love and support of every race.

Bone, Kriss Kross, 2 Pac, E-40, Eminem, N*sync, & Michael Jacskon (+ many more). I believe any true artist or musician is going to be influenced by every song they have ever heard. from the low quality cuts on BET uncut to the multiplattinum super group. It all affects your creativity.
