If hip-hop is dead then rap is alive and well in Baltimore. Tonight, boutique clothier City of Gods celebrated their one year anniversary with a who's who of Baltimore rap. Mania Music Group representatives Mily July, Kane Mayfield, and Dappa Dan Midas; Smash and Lano; as well as B-EZ performed to a packed house.
Baltimore has always existed on the fringe of rap. Artists such as B.Rich with his local anthem "Whoa Now" and Tim Trees led the radio side of things; while groups such as BrownF.I.S.H permeated the underground. The turn of the century led to an explosion of local rappers. Arguably led by Bossman; a new breed of rappers emerged; seemingly tired of being passed over and hungry for exposure.
That torch seems to have been passed. Anyone will tell you music is about the "clique". That was seemingly the biggest problem amongst Baltimore rap music; to many Indians who thought they were chiefs. Last night's performance seemed to eschew these concepts in leui of camraderie and fun. I'll take those over bitching and solidarity anyday.
I've been following Pac Div for years now. They were one of the first hip hop groups that I interviewed back when I was doing student radio at Morgan State. This group gives so much energy and creativity that's lacking these days. So of course I'm excited to see them doing a tour on the East Coast. And they are finally making there way to Baltimore this weekend. With other great artists opening the stage up for them like one of my favorite local artists, Greenspan!
So there's no reason for you NOT to get your ticket for this weekend. It's only $13, you can borrow that from somebody. No excuses this weekend. You need to come out and support some good ass talent. Point blank. We can't expect these artists to get put on the map if we don't come out to support them in numbers. So stop faking!
