"L.I.F.E.L.E.S.S.!!! FUCK A MOVEMENT IT'S A CULTURE!!!" YALL KNOW WHAT IT IS. "THE PAIN. THE FLESH. THE SCARS. THE DEATH. LOOK AROUND HOMEY, 'CUZ WE ALL THAT'S LEFT."WOOD IT DO? THEY CALL ME CAPTAIN APOLLO. I'M ALSO KNOWN AS TC THE RIDA, GOOD GAME, EL CAP-I-TAN, INGLEWOODZ JON GOTTI, OR SIMPLY CALL ME PHIL LEOTARDO THE L.I.F.E.L.E.S.S CAPO. I REP THAT NOTORIOUS AND INFAMOUS INGLEWOOD CITY. CITY OF CHAMPIONS. THE WOOD.
I AM NOT THE SOLE CREATOR OF LIFELESS, BUT I'M ONE OF THEM. IT WAS ME, PERFECTO, HIDDEN PERSONA, PORNO, AND CHASE WHO GOT THIS POPPIN BACK IN 1995.
IM ONE OF THE ORIGINAL INGLEWOOD RAPPERS WHO'S BEEN PUTTIN IT DOWN SINCE THE 90'S, AND I'M KNOWN AND RESPECTED BY REAL PEOPLE IN THE "INDUSTRY" AND "IN DA STREETS". YOU CAN SAY I'VE BEEN PAYING MY DUES FOR A MINUTE NOW, FROM WINNING FREESTYLE BATTLES, PUSHING THOUSANDS OF MIXTAPES, TO ROCKIN' SHOWS. I'VE INFLUENCED AND WORKED WITH ARTISTS AND PRODUCERS THROUGHOUT THE GAME.
WITHOUT QUESTION, CAPTAIN APOLLO, PERFECTO, AND LIFELESS ARE THE HOTTEST NEW INGLEWOOD ARTISTS ON THE FRONTLINES OF THE "NEW WEST MOVEMENT". FELLOW INGLEWOOD COMRADEZ, KRAZY ACTIVE, DISKO, & DUBLUP, CREATED THE TERM "NEW WEST". THEY'RE HUMBLE ABOUT IT, BECAUSE ITS ALL ABOUT WORKIN TOGETHER ON THE WEST RIGHT NOW. BUT I KNOW THE HISTORY BECAUSE I WAS RIGHT THERE, AND IM A REAL MUTHAFUCKA SO I GIVE CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE. NOW EVERYBODY HOLLERIN' THAT SHIT OUT, AND THATS BEAUTIFUL, BUT THE TRUTH AND REALITY IS THE "NEW WEST" MOVEMENT STARTED IN INGLEWOOD. BOTTOM LINE. AND THATS WHY WERE POPPIN RIGHT NOW.
OUT OF ALL THE NEW INGLEWOOD RAPPERS COMIN' UP, LIFELESS HAS THE MOST BUZZ AND ARE RECIEVING THE MOST ATTENTION THROUGH PROJECTS SUCH AS THE CALI UNTOUCHABLES/ DJ QWESS INGTIMES CERTIFIED PERFECTO/LIFELESS MIXTAPE 'MONEY IS REVOLOUTION'. THIS MARKS THE FIRST TIME INGLEWOOD RAPPERS RELEASED A MIXTAPE AND FORMED AN ALLIANCE WITH CALI MIXTAPE KINGS DJ STRONG AND DJ WARRIOR, 4 TIME JUSTO MIXTAPE AWARD WINNERS.
ME AND MY CREW ARE EXTREMELY HARD WORKERS. WE'VE GIVEN AWAY NEARLY 10,000 MIXTAPES, SPREADING THIS LIFELESS CULTURE THROUGH THE CD'S. WE ALSO ARE THE FIRST RAPPERS IN INGLEWOOD TO CONSISTENTLY GIVE OUT FREE MIXTAPES TO THE HOOD (LIQUOR STORES, CLOTHING STORES ETC.) , WHICH CREATED A MAJOR BUZZ FOR US. NOW I SEE OTHER RAPPERS IN THE TOWN DOING THE SAME THING, AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT WE WANTED TO HAPPEN. SOMEBODY HAS TO STEP UP AND CREATE A SCENE LIKE THE CALI UNTOUCHABLES DID WITH MIXTAPES IN L.A.
CAPTAIN APOLLO JUST RELEASED A VIDEO WITH LEGENDARY RAPPER REDRUM, OF BANGIN ON WAX/REP YO SET, CALLED "1,2 COMBINATION". THIS VIDEO IS FEATURED ON HIP HOP DVD "THUG MAGAZINE, VOL. 4" BY BIGG SIXX. THIS DVD FEATURES VIDEOS AND INTERVIEWS FROM SOME OF THE HOTTEST WESTCOAST ARTISTS IN THE GAME SUCH AS GLASSES MALONE OF CASH MONEY/ HOO BANGIN, ROCCETT OF CTE, PERFECTO OF LIFELESS, RBX, GOLDIE LOC, K-9, CHANCE FROM I LOVE NEW YORK, AND OTHERS. THERE ARE CURRENTLY 10'S OF THOUSANDS OF THUG MAG VOL. 4'S IN THE STREETS. THE "1-2" COMBINATION VIDEO IS ALSO FEATURED ON THE DOCUMENTARY "G.A.N.G." BY KUBWA ED. THIS FILM INCLUDES KAM, BIG BOY (POWER 106) AND OTHERS. BOTH OF APOLLOS VIDEO'S WILL SOON BE VIEWABLE ON MOST MAJOR HIP HOP SITES.
CAPTAIN APOLLO ALSO HAS A NEW VIDEO WITH DUBLUP CALLED "EASY". THIS VIDEO WILL BE ON THUG MAGAZINE VOL. 5 WHICH WILL INCLUDE KAM, MC EIHT (WARZONE), 2-11 OF CTE, K-9, AND MORE.
CAPTAIN APOLLO IS FEATURED ON THE FOLLOWING MIXTAPES:
1)PERFECTO "MONEY IS REVOLOUTION" HOSTED BY DJ STRONG, AND DJ WARRIOR (CALI UNTOUCHABLES) AND MIXED BY DJ QWESS.
2) DJ FLIPSIDE "MOST SLEPT ON" ANNIVERSARY EDITION, HOSTED BY PAUL WALL AND TALIB KWELI.
3) DJ BACKSIDE MONTHLY MIXTAPE SEPTEMBER 2007
AFTER ALL I'VE BEEN THROUGH I'VE LEARNED THAT STAYING HUMBLE, DRIVEN, AND PAYING DUES WITH HARD WORK WILL TAKE YOU A LONG WAY IN THIS GAME. I STARTED OFF DOING FREESTYLE TOURNAMENTS, AND EVENTUALLY BECAME POWER 106 FREESTYLE CHAMPION ON FELLI FEL'S WHOA CALL. THATS WHEN I REALIZED THAT I REALLY HAD A SPECIAL GIFT, AND I COULD DO THIS FOR A LIVING. THATS ALL I EVER WANTED TO DO WAS ROCK MICS, SO BE CONSCIOUS OF THE REASONS YOUR GETTING INTO THIS SHIT.
AT THE LEAST, CAPTAIN APOLLO WILL CERTAINLY BE REMEMBERED AND MENTIONED AS ONE OF THE FEW LEGENDARY INGLEWOOD RAPPERS TO GO DOWN IN HIP HOP HISTORY, ALONG WITH PERFECTO, BIG Y, MACK 10, DAMANI, AND DEFARI.
BUT APOLLO & LIFELESS HAS GROWN FROM AN INGLEWOOD/ COMPTON MOVEMENT INTO A SOUTHERN CALI MOVEMENT INTO A WORLDWIDE MOVEMENT. WE GOT PEOPLE IN LONDON HOLLERIN OUT "LIFELESS IS A CULTURE!!!"
WAS I BORN AND RAISED IN THE GHETTO? YES. DOES THAT DEFINE HOW I LIVE MY LIFE AND HOW I RHYME? I'M A TRUE ARTIST, SO WHEN I CREATE A RHYME I AM EXPRESSING HOW I FEEL, AND THERES NOTHING MORE PURE THAN SELF EXPRESSION. REAL MUSIC IS EMOTIONAL AND THOUGHT PROVOKING.
FOR THOSE WHO DONT KNOW, L.I.F.E.L.E.S.S. IS AN ACRONYM FOR LYRICALLY INCLINED FOR ETERNITY LACKING ESSENTIAL SOCIAL STATUS. I LIVE MY LIFE FOR A CAUSE. I DO THIS SHIT FOR ALL MY PEOPLE IN THE HOOD, NOT JUST THE DOPE BOYS, OR GANGSTAS. WE SPEAK FOR THE VOICELESS AND THE HOPELESS; FOR ALL THE BLACK AND LATINO PEOPLE IN THIS STRUGGLE. THE OPPRESSED CAN RELATE TO US BECAUSE WE COME FROM THE SAME STRUGGLE. THEY CAN TELL WERE THE SAME AS THEM.
I'VE SEEN TO MANY FRIENDS DIE TO COUNT. 2 OF MY BESTFRIENDS, BABY BOI AND LIL' BANDIT, AND MY LITTLE SISTER ASHLEY WERE KILLED.
ASHLEY IS MY GUARDIAN ANGEL GUIDING ME THROUGH THIS CONCRETE WILDERNESS, AND EVERYTHING I DO IS IN HER MEMORY AND HER HONOR.
LASTLY, I DONT WORK WITH JUST ANYBODY I FUCK WITH PEOPLE WHO ARE TALENTED AND ARE REAL ABOUT THEIR CRAFT, LIKE MY LIFELESS BROTHERS AND SISTERS, THE CALIUNTOUCHABLES, INGTIMES.COM, DJ QWESS, REDRUM, AND SPIDER LOC OF G UNIT.

MR. LEOTARDO. IN THE WORD'S OF TONY MONTANA..."DONT FUCK WITH ME!!!"
GENERAL PERFECTO AND THE UNDERBOSS.

This talented youngster has been grinding hard for some time with his recently reformed group L.I.F.E.L.E.S.S. that consists of Columbo Black, Captain Apollo and Dead End Kid.Together they systematically flooded the Inglewood streets with Perfecto's EP titled "The Voice of Inglewood," a move that quickly caught the attention of DJ Strong of the Cali Untouchable DJ's.Along with DJ Strong, DJ Warrior and Inglewood's own DJ Qwess also took steps to work on this new street album. The title, "Money Is Revolution," is an ethos Perfecto and L.I.F.E.L.E.S.S. live by. When asked about this attitude Perfecto told us; "Economic empowerment is the number one struggle that we face as African-Americans. The civil rights movement was based around race, but the hip hop generation is based on money and class."This Howard University alumnus lets the listener know that there is a fine line between fly, flashy, educated and hood; "I'm a smart muthaf-cka, so I refuse to act stupid to sell records" added Perfecto.Fans of Multi-Syllabic lyricism, vocal samples, knowledge dropping, street anthems and swagger will all be satisfied with what "Money Is Revolution" brings to the table, with no big name features Perfecto and the Cali Untouchable DJ's have crafted another L.A. classic street album. When DJ Warrior spoke on the up and comer he told us; "Perfecto knows what to say and he knows how to say it."Below we have the full street album tracklist as well as two exclusive tracks for free download, look below that for how you can grab yourself a copy of "Money Is Revolution" right now.ABOVE: STACK BUNDLES R.I.P.
