Pit Fights Battle League Has Them As Young As 12 Yrs Old............

I have written about the Pit Fight Battle League before and yeah I may be a little biased because for one I have been supporting the league before he had Grind Time backing and I have been watching and taking pictures of the battles since like 2010.  And for two, most of the administration and battlers have known since 2007.

This battle right here has gotten a whole lot of positive feed back and of course a few negative but I'm here to say that this was a good battle regardless of anything else!!

12 yr old Mash made her Pit debut February 19, 2012 at No Love event where her mother DGK was battling Queen.  Towards the end of DGK's third round, Mash jumped in and with just 4 bars took the whole 3rd round as a win for herself.  That made WorldStar Hip Hop with a total as of right now of 345,508 views. 26, 869 views on Youtube.







Yeah people called it a stunt but how many times have you watched a battle and people have pulled out shirts or photos or other props??  It was clever and Mash writes her own bars.  Of course her mother knows her lines because they go over them.  No different then those in the crew saying your lines with you!  But because she is 12 I guess there was a reason for the hating and negativity!  LOL

Well the new battle was set up and it was only one round.  I'm not gonna spoil it for anyone who hasn't watched this battle at the top but I will say this much......Chris O Dubb Pierce.....O-Dubb did it so great.  No cussing in the battle and was not disrespectful well some of you may not like some of the lines but it was still well played and Mash just shows that with time and studying she is definitely an up and coming artists in battle rap and in music.

Mash and her younger sister Dasha are TeamDGKKids.  The currently have a cd out for sale "Next To Blow" and have performed on stage and have an upcoming show at 5 Seasons 830 Guilford Ave in Baltimore on June 3rd.

My Thoughts.....

Well the list came out a few days ago on who was nominated for The Baltimore Crown Awards that will be held on Nov 5th at 5 Seasons.  And there were alot of familiar names and some new names this year.  Yes I was nominated for Photographer of the Year and I thank everyone who nominated me.  And no I really don't think I will win this year but still to know that I have my own "fans" that love what I do, is heartfelt and puts a smile on my face.

For me the big news was that Wisdom Court had over 12 nominations for the company its self as well as it's members and those affiliated with Wisdom Court.  To me that means I made the right decision to be apart of this company.

I haven't really addressed that situation and maybe no one really cares but I think I want to explain not need to explain what has happened.

I have been supporting local music and artists since I met B.O.M.B.  I was never officially M.I.B. but I was of course a supporter and to some family.  Actually, I still am.  I just seen B.O.M.B. and Doc Baltimore today as a matter of fact.  LOL    Ok back to the story....I was never apart of any one team, clique or business.  I slowly became the Baltimore Paparazzi and had my own identity no matter how much people wanted to combine my face and name with someone else.  I was and will always be Lisa or the Baltimore Paparazzi.

I met Billy Lyve.  I had been hearing about Wisdom Court and it seemed like they came from no where but in fact had started out in the county and gained a fanbase there and then came into the city which I think was about the best move.  The city doesn't seem to try and get fans.  But that's another story!!

So I met and talked with Billy and became a fan and supporter.  I liked what I seen.  Not just music wise but on the whole business aspect.  I have been hollering this is a business treat it as such for so long and it was like no one wanted to listen to me.  But Wisdom Court gets it.  It is a company, a business and it's a family.  There is alot of support.  Everyone has a job that they have to do and they do it without complaining or making excuses about why they can't do it!

So when I was asked to be the official photographer for the Sleep When I'm Dead Pt 2 tour I said sure.  And then when I was asked to be a part of the Wisdom Court business I didn't even have to think about it.  I am still Lisa the Baltimore Paparazzi but I'm also Wisdom Court and we all bring something to the table.  When I was going through some issues and problems I got phones calls and messages making sure I was good because it was only a few that knew I was going through something.  But these people cared about me and not for what I could do for them and never have I felt like I was being used by anyone.  Business is business.

So with that all being said, again thank you to all of those who nominated me as well as those members of Wisdom Court for all the awards. I am so blessed to have so many people who appreciate what I do.

Billy Lyve, Wisdom Court, Sleep When I'm Dead Pt 2 - Eastern Shore Stop!!

On the latest stop of the Sleep When I'm Dead Pt 2 tour, Billy Lyve took it to the Eastern Shore and no it wasn't Ocean City!! It was at the American Legion in Centreville, Md in Queen Anne's County!  Which happens to be where I grew up and went to school and have family that all live there!!  So when Billy said he was going to do a show there I knew I had to be there!

The night started off slow.  There weren't very many people in there and people were coming in and then going back out!  There were a few faces that I recognized from back in the day or from family functions.  The dj was playing music and those who were there were dancing and as you can see so were Billy, JonJon and Blackstaff!!  LOL

Now I am a people watcher and I was seeing the looks we were all getting because no one knew who we were.  Everyone there knows everyone else or just about knows everyone!  So now it was time for the set to start.  Billy gets on stage with Blackstaff and starts it off with "And I Know It" which is a track produced by Street Scott.  The first line is "I'm a bad motherfucka and I know it........"  What a way to introduce yourself!! LOL  I looked around and the people were getting closer and I seen them vibing!!  It was a really good look seeing that they hadn't heard of Billy Lyve or Wisdom Court.

Then it was Blackstaff's turn.  And they did not disappoint by any means!!  I looked over to my right and seen a guy hitting the speakers, rocking like he had been a fan!  I watched as the people got even closer!  I seen the energy rise as well.

Then it was time for the last song which is becoming an anthem for those who hear it!!  "Until We Bleed" is one of those love songs that EVERYONE can really relate to because everyone has gone through it at least one time in their life when they love someone so much but they hate them at the same time.

As Mai started singing the hook I looked to the left and seen these girls come right up to the stage almost pushing Sam and Latrice  out of the way!  LOL  They were loving her voice and let's be honest, who doesn't love Mai's singing???

So all  in all I think the set was a great success!!  Both Billy and Blackstaff gained new fans.  Just imagine if Street Scott, TAG, Prenz Bilal, hell and the whole Wisdom Court were there for a full show!!  Centreville would have never been the same.

And yes that is JonJon The Son! He was there for support!!!

This was after the performances!!!
