Faimkills is a product of the Bling-Era immersed in the lineage of the Golden Era and manifested at the cusp of a chaotic time in music culture.
Faimkills: The Violent New Warhol is a musical interpreter blending sounds that would make a hybrid/mash-up act sound like the norm. A cultural observer critiquing and criticizing social trends, commenting on pop culture, all while understanding that hypocrisy is damn-near inescapable, he refuses to sit complacent and challenges all notions.
Raps, but on occasion sings and screams if the mood is striking. Through out the course of his journey, Faimkills has held many monikers, finally resting on the ideology of his own manifestation, simply --Fame Kills. There is a thorough rationalization of the name and an irony in that the alias is to make music that reverts back to a time when creating was praised rather than the creator.
In any case, having been influenced by so many artists, events, and pedagogies, Faimkills has begun to find his niche in this abyss resting snug between Rap and "the underground, feeling like a mess of "true hip-hop" hardheadedness, extra-money-rap sentiments and stylings, artfully and tragically emo, and a giant elitist-indie-scene-hipster-fuck. The most important thing to note is that Faimkills is part of a neo-classical musical tradition, hopefully helping to break more barriers and stereotypical sub-genreism in order to make solid adaptations, interpretations, and innovations to the music game at large.
Barreling through songs of love, lust, jealousy, murder, car wrecks, Divine Interventions, cruel twists of fate, internal damnation, moments of clarity, money, cash, hoes, hope, confession, fast lives, drugs, internal monologues, propaganda, questions, beliefs, and songs that act more like a piece of literature, a play, or a movie, one thing is clear...Faimkills.

Okay dude, I'm just gonna set the release date for the "Hell-Howl-"Halloween" EP. October 23rd, 2009. If we set the day them maybe it'll give everyone a kick in the pants to do their song. Just record a single song. It doesn't even have to have vocals or structure, but make sure it fits the theme of Halloween. I'm doing the intro/outro and a single for it, but if you could come up with anything at all to put on it, then that'd be great.
