Truely and inspirational individual who takes no causalties in his mision to bring us the rawness and purity of Allah and hip hop itself. To top it all off, and

This is what youve been waiting for; death to the myth, an answer to your blazing query and the solution to the puzzle. Who is he? You all know who Im talking about. One of College Parks omnipresent characters, he is the citys closest possible equivalent to a rock star seen nearly everywhere; from the entrance to The Diner to outside the Student Union to the kitchen to the Local Cluck-U. Wearing a green bandana backwards around his shaven forehead, with a thick army fatigue coat covering his white t-shirt, Melvin Lee Jacobs, aka Lee Majors, 23, of East Baltimore, lurks in the shadows, stalking the sidewalks of our humble college town and the campus, blessing microphones at local hip-hop events like last Septembers Cipher Sessions, recording his debut album in the studios of WMUC, or simply launching into spontaneous philosophical conversations. Hes a suburban pseudo- prophet, if you will, just trying to make a profit. He goes by many names, none of which he decided for himself; U-Pac, Cluck-U-Pac, 2Pac, 3Pac, all somehow appropriate monikers given his uncanny resemblance to the truest of thugs. But whatever silly-billy freshman and other students prefer to call Lee Majors behind his back, you can be sure he could care less. The same man who is seemingly just loitering around campus, occasionally attending classes he has not enrolled in and frying your overpriced wings at Cluck-U is the CEO of his own label, Innervision Entertainment, and the author of a new self-produced hip-hop album, Verse 4 Verse Volume 1.0. An underground hip-hop album just shy of 80 minutes, Verse 4 Verse boasts introspective rhymes over elaborate, if not incredibly lo-fi, production. His website is claimed the album is " aimed to take the underground by storm ," and that Verse 4 Verse "contains" the no holds barred underground feel missing from this bling-bling era of hip-hop ." He adds, " If you want to feel the soul of a man poured out on wax, cop this upcoming release." Every story has a beginning, so what brought Majors to College Park? " Ive been rapping ever since I was 16, around late 94 or early 95," he began. " Growing up in the city always admiring music ,"said Majors, " and just watching the older cats on the corner rapping, it inspired me to find ways that I can express myself, to do different things with the actual creativity of music. I pursued writing as a way of doing something constructive, to allow me to express what I was feeling at the time ." Majors is a man focused on his goals, and he has a true grasp on how to obtain them. His road through life has been filled with struggles. He grew up in the Douglass Home projects in Baltimore, but said he had to leave. " I wasnt able to do the Verse 4 Verse project living in Baltimore City," Majors said. " I wasnt able to focus on what it was that I really wanted to do staying in those neighborhoods. I needed to get somewhere people were moving at a certain pace, a pace of working on their own success ." A university seemed to be the most logical choice, a place where Majors could feed off the positive energy and apply it to his own life. " When I came up here ," explained Majors, " I was looking at the tools that the university had to offer. Since I had no money to actually attend school here, I started to educate myself. I go into classes and just take in the information they give me, taking notes, because teachers are paid to teach. I kind of educated myself the last seven or eight years, so technically, I would be a super-senior if I paid actual money to go here ." His label, InnerVision Entertainment , was launched in 1998 "as a record label with the goal of producing the type of provocative music that is sorely missing in todays mainstream." Under the guidance of Majors and his fellow workers, Innervision Entertainment has developed into a multimedia company acting as a one stop marketing company. In addition to music production and distribution, the label also specializes in graphic design for websites and flyers. It also promotes local urban-flavored events. " We sponsored the Baby Boy account around here and the Mariah Carey account ," Majors said. Has he seen Glitter? " No I have not seen the movie ," said Majors. Hes a lucky man. Majors proclaims that everything he spits is a freestyle, a term which, depending on whom you talk to, has a number of different definitions. " My definition of a freestyle is like when people in the church catch the Holy Ghost ," Majors said. " Its like the actual moment when you catch the spirit and make the whole thing that comes out of your mouth make sense ." Verse 4 Verse Volume 1.0 may not be the most sonically pleasing to the ear and admittedly Majors could stand to improve as an MC. However, at the end of the day, passion and emotion of music are ultimately what makes music good. Verse 4 Verse is 100-percent pure emotion.
