As some of you may’ve seen in my earlier posts, I have visited my fair share of gentlemen’s clubs, mostly in Baltimore. I enjoy doing so, and I’m an adult in a committed relationship, so I’m not doing anything wrong by going to one every now and then. Anyway, now that I’ve ost of the […]
Read moreGee Watts – Kansas City State of Mind [Album Stream]
Mad that I missed this one, especially since I’ve followed Gee Watts for a minute since he came onto the scene. My bad for all that, but regardless, this album goes in.

Read moreRickie Jacobs feat. Jay Wyse – "365"
Just saw this one on my timeline and hopped over to Soundcloud to peep some new music from two of Baltimore’s musical bright spots. “365” from Rickie Jacobs and Jay Wyse features both artists spitting on a haunting instrumental from Lani Christ which builds up over time, then breaks down into a lurching, rattling monstrocity […]

Anyways, the track is pretty pop-friendly (not a bad thing, because we need some different feels in […]
Read moreLupe Fiasco – "Adoration of the Magi" feat. Crystal Torres
My relationships with Lupe’s music (and beliefs) have been documented as…weird in the very least. I liked some points on LASERS, but admittedly passed on most of F&L2. But, when Lupe’s on, he’s on. This somewhat stream-of-conscious track, slated for the upcoming Tetsuo and Youth, is pretty much “that ol’ Lupe,” full of “nerdy” references […]
