Yep, it’s about that time for someone (anyone, really) to talk about the namesake of this here site’s musical “career.” Spawned from a combination of a mental breakdown and a desire to spit “dat hot fiyahhhh” once more, meek producer Mister Speed on the Beat decided to get back into the “booth,” create some no-fidelity […]

I wanted Baltimore Commercial Break: From Juke Joints to Greatness to be my last album.
