[Damien J.]

The lessons begin when school let's, out as Carson bred rapper Madi B. releases his debut, Street G.E.D. on June 5, 2007.While his hit single "My Money's Long" steadily climbs the top 200 singles chart, Madi B. embraces the opportunity to bring his story to the young ones. In the midst of a high-school tour to promote the Anytime Records release, "Street G.E.D." the mindful rapper understands the brevity of the messages in today's hip-hop climate, so when the kids get turned on by the seemingly glamorous lyrics of his former lifestyle, he speaks to how the realities of that mind-state got him caught up.

"There are a lot of unfortunate realities in hip-hop music today because this music comes from the heart of the streets." explains Madi B. " These streets breed a lot of different elements some good, some bad; but when you're chasing the dollar it's easy to get caught up in the hustle of the fast living, and the fast money. It can turn you into someone you never thought you'd be, good or bad, unless you gain some perspective."

Madi B's imprint of being an over-achiever was established by his mother, a self made woman who moved her kids here from Sierra Leon for a better life, and was able to obtain a double masters as a single parent of two. Though he steered clear of gang-life, Madi B. couldn't deny his penchant for chasing that almighty dollar, so while his mother was away at work, he put in work on the streets. As fate would have it, his antics found him missing his senior year of high-school due to a conviction that landed him in jail for 10 months. Knowing he owed his mother more than losing her son to the streets, he refocused his energy to his love of music.

The debut release courtesy of Anytime Records, "Street G.E.D." drops science on how it goes down in the life of a hustler. Madi B., like many, chose to learn his lessons the hard way, but now when he boasts about his money being long it's because he's making sound decisions with his life and his business; and when his young fans ask him about living the life of a star he lets them know the real.

With party anthems like Glasses Up or the bravado of So Fresh, So Clean, "Street G.E.D." cover's the full spectrum of hood life from snitches, and haters to balling out of control.
