(Prudent Press Agency)---Atlanta, GA -- In a genre riddled with bogus claims of street prowess and lyrical skill, it’s refreshing to encounter an artist from the faction of hip hop who actually demonstrates honor and probity in his actions and words. Having earned the epithet of “ The Holiday King” for releasing a song for every holiday since Christmas 2007, independent hip hop artist C.A.M.IL has proven himself to be a man of his word with the upcoming release of his long awaited compilation ‘Annual Anthems’.
Exalted as the only collection of it’s kind and scope, Annual Anthems promises much more than celebratory tunes. The quality of the music is astounding, with the artist unleashing a major jolt of narrative skill and energy that is both contagious and compelling. The CD will not only make C.A.MIL, eligible for entry in the Guinness Book of World Records for it’s uniqueness and magnitude, but will effectively prove his statement “This My Year“ as expressed in his New Years anthem at the start of this year long holiday song marathon.
Scheduled for official release on December, 2nd, 2008, the collection of songs to be included on the Annual Anthems CD can be previewed from camilmusic.net, the artist’s official web site.

Just three short months following the release of his blockbuster CD "BARACK THE VOTE" ( 6/17/2008), yet another single from the CAMIL collection has earned an award! "Go Girl" a sensuous collaboration featuring R&B artist FATINA, will be featured as Track of the Day in Hip Hop on GarageBand Records award winning website www.garageband.com on 28Sep2008. This is the third hit from the CD to win a showcase on the site providing well deserved exposure for the dynamic lyricist and hip hop artist.
Already a favorite song on Myspace.com , CAMIL recently released a pictorial video for “Go Girl” that is causing chaos across the web! Bringing the lyrics to life with visuals of a barrage of bumptious bootys, CAMIL is becoming ever more controversial with his sexually explicit music. A similar video promoting his song Hit List was removed from Myspace TV after receiving over 10,000 views during the recent promotion of CAMIL's " I AM SO SO DEF!" entry in the BET Hot 16 Challenge competition. The video was censored for it's depiction of sexually suggestive pictures of a plethora of celebrity females including Oprah, Hillary Clinton and Condelesa Rice.
The CD abounds with versatility by mixing signature sex raps , traditional love songs and a vibrant display of CAMIL’s social consciousness. Debuting as the number 1 political song on Soundclick.com, the title track remix "BARACK THE VOTE (OBAMA VOTE PLEASE) continues to top the charts. The song is also racking up awards at Garage Band Records (www.garageband.com) receiving kudos for Best Bass in Rap, week of 8Sep2008 and Track of the Day in Rap on 14Sep2008.
Another favorite on the CD is the mother's day tribute, 'Always Love You Momma". A remix of The Notorious B.I.G.'s classic "Will Always Love Big Poppa". CAMIL effectively takes possession of the track with heartfelt lyrics delivered with truth and finesse. The song was the Garage Band Records reviewers pick for Best Lyrics and Melody in Rap, week of 4Aug2008 and It was also featured as Track of the Day in Rap on 19Aug2008.
Composed of 18 solid hits, including a special track produced by award winning Vudu Spellz Productions specifically for the Barack The Vote Lyrics, the " Barack The Vote" CD is destined to bring CAMIL into the hip hop spot light. It is available for sale on itunes, Soundclick.com, and Camilmusic.net.
