BEDLAM

Biography

Bedlam formed in early 1999. bedlam's idea was to take the wicked rap culture to another level. with roots spreading from the HOUSE OF KRAZEES, ESHAM, KGP, bedlam had a wide variety of flavor, and connections. they decided it was time to boil all that down to a new potent narcotic.they hit the studio to record there debut cd CHEMICAL IMBALANCEZ VOL.1, an immediate cult classic. the album was wickedly original, and savage. they hit the esham mail dominance tour, and introduced people to their new found style. after a year of touring with esham, and the house of krazees, they decided to start a lable with halfbreed, (formally hok2), the lable was known as virus independent. after a while, they felt it was time to do their own thing, and parted ways with the indy lable. they hit the studio to record the follow up album, CHEMICAL IMBALANCEZ VOL.2. they kicked off the release with prozak's brainchild, "WICKED STOCK"(the 1st annual) at harpo's in detroit.the album was a brutal success in the fans eyes, and became a classic in it's own right! with bedlam in full control of there music, and prozak being the financial backer, and manager, they became a nemesis to the wicked underground.

bedlam followed up 2000-01 by doing a slew of under ground shows, with people like esham(again) and dayton familly, projectborn, simkenheights, krazyklan, lavel, halfbreed, kapitol-g, and many others. during this era, bedlam had began to break into ohio, and kentucky, and illinois. slowly leaking through city to city via internet, and hand to hand sales. bedlam broke the mold of the under ground by being the only un-signed group to hit as hard as they did, album wise, sales wise, performance wise, and promotion wise.between madness's connections, and prozak's thousands of dollars, and management skills, they were able to do what no one else could do, and thats blow up on their own, no lable, no distribution, no street team, just the dopest re-fined wicked shit out there! by the end of 2001, bedlam was in the studio recording there 3rd album, "SHOCK TREATMENT ".the album was a dark and politicaly charged omen to the masses. this album showed a new side, and style of bedlam, showing that they were versitile, and originaly creative. they drooped the album in april, 2002, at their then second annual wickedstock. the album tookm off fast, being their number one seller, and prozak was re-ordering quick! they hit the other states harder this time, and hit other spots in michigan that they weren't focused on before.

they spent 2002 the same way, promoting, networking, and traveling city, to city to bring their dreams to a reality status, beoming more intense and obsessed on their carreer. by this time, prozak, and madness had become quick sand deep in the wicked shit, with madness spending 10 years in the scene, and prozak spending over $70,000 at this point, they knew there was no goin back to "ordinary life", it became do, or die to them. 2003, bedlam hits the studio to record an album in dedication to there supporters, coined as, "bedlamitez", they decide to bring all the elements of the past, and the elements of the future to create a simple yet complex album to light, "BEDLAMITEZ-RIZE". they hit the streets between studio sessions, and began a war path of promo, bedlam style. they decided on a special guest line up, and began to work on it. they called esham, and he came up to their hotel room, esham was like," yo, madness(curt-d), imma do this shit for you, because of all that art and shit you did for me over the years, but, i need some cash for this shit dogg", so prozak handed esham a few thousand, and that week they hit the studio. after recording half the album, bedlam signed with long range c.e.o., mark kempf, for a two album deal. this brought some relief to the group, because now they had a second party to help. now prozak would be able to be just prozak, not manager, promoter, booking agent, and investor. bedlam decided to start hitting the live performance scene again, doing a string of FREE shows as part of the respects they were paying to their fans loyality over the years. they also made their 3rd annual wickedstock a free show, and followed it up with a wickedstock detroit show at the shelter in detroit, via ticketmaster. now, this brings us to the end time of 2003, as of current, bedlam will drop BEDLAMITEZ-RIZE, august 24th, with another free show, and they plan on hitting the streets 10 times harder than ever. prozak will be dropping his new album "SELF-INFLICTED" featuring TECHN9NE, THE DAYTON FAMILY, R.O.C. and many more, april, 2004, at the 4th annual wickedstock! of course many, many details were left out of this, such as re-releases, prozak's e.p. of lost trax, and madnesses earlier careers, but this is just the quick low down of BEDLAM, since BEDLAM began!
