#BeatzByHurd - DJ Myzter Hurd


So the other day I get a message asking if I could check out a cd.  Of course I said sure, DJ Myzter Hurd is a friend and I have heard a couple of these tracks already and couldn't wait to hear the whole project.

Now one thing I already know about Hurd is that he is like me....he like lyrics on a hard beat.  So I already knew the project was going to be above the norm.

14 tracks....only 3 artists I'm not familiar with and Hurd selected the artist to go on each of the tracks that he produced.  So in case you haven't put things together DJ Myzter Hurd is a dj, a producer and an emcee.

The first thought as I played the project was that feeling I use to get in the 90's and early 2000's.  The beat I can bop to and the lyrics that paint the pictures in my head like I can see the words in video form.  And the fact that he hand picked the emcee to "display their vocal talent on these original tracks" made it work even better.  Ever listen to a song and think that the artist and the beat just do go well together?  You won't get that with this project.

Click here to grab #BeatzByHurd or to listen


I can't say which track is my favorite because I like this whole project.

Number 10 - Myzter Hurd makes me think about LL Cool J.  And the beat had me rocking while listening.

I suggest that you who is reading this go check out the link and at least give it a listen.  He has it listed for $5 and its worth so much more.


So go click on the link   #BeatzByHurd and take a listen and judge for yourself.  This is one of those projects that with have you saying now this is what hip hop sounds like.

Team Kreamate - Beautiful Ashes

Team Kreamate - Beautiful Ashes




Team Kreamate, which is comprised of Savage Da Beast, Bones From Da Park, Flint Da Monster, Dime Poe and Rebel, released a project called Beautiful Ashes today.  Now I was given an advance copy to listen to and to give my thoughts on the project is primarily Bones and Savage but all members are on the project.

My first thought as I listened to the songs individually was that once again the mixture of the beats with the lyrics had been taken to another level,  In other words, progression.  And since I have known this group that is all I have seen.  They keep pushing to make the next song better than the last, to make the last project better than the last.  Another thing I noticed as I listened to the project was the laid back feel of the cd.......almost an R&B feel to it.

1.  Beautiful Ashes(Intro) - Definitely an intro...Bones and Savage give you a glimpse of what's about to come on the project as well as the future of Team Kreamate!  When I listen to this song I see a Phoenix flying through fire.  Yes I'm very visual when it comes to music.

2.  Respekt Dat - I seen the guys perform this on stage,  This song is one that you can just rock too!  The beat isn't one that gets you all hyped but listen to the lyrics.....anyone who knows me I listen to words....the lyrics let you know that Savage and Bones have been working to gain respect in the scene and you are going to give them the respect they deserve.

3.  Muuzik ft Rebel - Now this track is a little more upbeat...meaning it will make you move a little more than the sitting and vibing like the other tracks.  Rebel on this track will make you go who is this.

4.  Follow The Crowd ft Rebel - This track is just so laid back and got that old back in the day R&B feel to it.  The message is so great.  Follow what you want to do and don't just follow behind what everyone else is doing.  Savage, Rebel and Bones give you a look at their life...past, present and future.

5.  I'ma Get It - If you just sit and close your eyes and listen you can feel the emotions that went into writing this song.  Told you I'm a visual person with lyrics!

6.  Good Life ft Mr. Supe - Now this track had me moving in my seat.  Almost dancing to be honest!  Just a good feeling song.

7.  Over Here - OK Savage singing on the track!  This is one of those tracks that the video would be x-rated!  LOL  So you know it is the one the ladies would listen to and be instant groupies!  

8.  H3ated - This is exactly what the name says.....heated!!  Savage lets out some aggression on his beat!

9.  Krakk - Ft Flint - This track is more upbeat and will have you hyped.  The fast flows will have you spinning and go how the hell did they spit all those words....I got to start this one over again!

10.  Kobain Interlude - Dime Poe!!!!  Every time I have heard Dime Poe on a track I am always surprised at the word play.  I don't know why after all this time of knowing him but he just flows so well and the words just seem to melt out to your ears.

11. BarLordz - Oh my goodness......from the production of Street Scott to the lyrics of Savage and Bones......this is one of the hardest tracks.  BarLordz is exactly what they are.

12.  Bxtch ft Flint -  Love this one!!  Love the hook!!  I can think of a few people that I could direct this track to!  LOL  This track is pretty self-explanatory!

13.  Foreal - This is another track that straight forward but the beat makes it laid back.

14.  Success - Pretty much the name of this one says it all!  Dreaming about success and going to make those dreams come true while being true to self!!

15. Bonus Track - The Kombo Konvo Pt 1. -  I love a track where the 2 artists are going back and forth.....like a conversation.  Dime Poe and Savage did a good job with the back and forth.  The is the bonus but I think it is just a prequel to the next project!!!


So yeah there you have my thoughts on this project!  I have been blessed to see the growth and progression of these young men!  I was introduced to Savage's music in 2007 and then met Bones, Flint, Poe and Rebel through Pit Fights Battle League which is rap battles.  Their coming together was nothing more than fire.  Each individual can hold their own on a song but the mixture and chemistry of them as a team is awesome.

I really like this cd!  I listened to it like 4 times today to be honest!  As I said these are my thoughts and opinions on how I felt about the songs. Maybe you will listen and hear something different or feel something different!  But listen at least to the project.

Great job fellas!!  From the choice of music to the lyrics to the promotion to the execution!

Beautiful Ashes  can be listened to at this link.

February 12th at The Hott Spott 830 Guildford Ave Team Kreamte is having a release party for this project.  Come out and support.

Billy Lyve and Wisdom Court Open for MGK


March 10, 2013

Now when I found out about this show I was excited!  Not because MGK was coming to Baltimore but because Billy Lyve and Wisdom Court were going to be opening up for him.  This was going to be a packed  show but Wisdom Court fans and supporters were going to be coming from all over.  Not just Maryland but West Virginia, Delaware.....everywhere!  I also knew that once this crowd seen Billy perform along with Ambush, Penthouse and Voice performing the fanbase for Wisdom Court was going to be crazy. And it was.



The fans started lining up at like 3pm according to Baltimore Soundstage and by 7pm it was around the corner on Lombard on its way to Gay St!



Once you got inside it just looked like a sea of humans!  People from the front to the back side to side!  There was no room to breathe people were still trying to make moves to get closer to the stage!  It wasnt happening!!


Wisdom Court member JayMoney got on stage and pumped the crowd up and then took a picture of the sea of people.


When Billy Lyve took the stage the crowd went crazy.  Even though they were there to see MGK they rocked out with the music!!  The energy was crazy.  Everyone was amped up and it was contagious!!

No Love II Feb 17, 2013


Damn!!  I haven't written about a Pit Fight event in a while!!  LOL  For some reason I felt like I needed to write something about the Pit Fights Battle League!!

Now I have been supporting the battles since Shaka had them at the studio on Maryland Ave!!  Small area, too many people crammed into a small space! Felt like summer in the winter time kinda shit! LOL  I'm not a big big fan of rap battles but I am a fan of local artists and music and I try to help get the word out on what is going on!  I am a director of traffic!!

I haven't been to a Pit Fight in a few months.  Actually December 3 was the last one I went to!!  I had different reasons on why I stopped coming!!  I am there to support....not to be anyone's personal photographer!!  If you wanted to pose for pictures all night you should have brought your own camera!  I get shots of the battlers and a few other shots but when it feels like you want a photo shoot I just might snap!!

Anyway, I had to come to this one for a few reasons.  My girl Hazzy was battling Spence, King Major was coming up from VA to battle Tay Brown and Smirf was battling too and I have watched him progressively improve over couple of years.  So I knew I had to be there for these battles at least!

Of course from all the running around I did I didn't charge my battery up and it died!  I tried to run home thinking I wasn't going to miss much and ended up miss Bars' battle!!  He is one of the guys who always appreciates my work!  LOL  Sorry Bars!!  You know I owe you!!!

King Major and Tay Brown
King Major wasn't up to par!  He was sick and this wasn't his best performance from the ones I have personally witnessed and I have watched a couple on YouTube!!  I think that one day these 2 should battle again!!  

Then there was a spur of the moment performance but Team Kremate!  LOL  Their song Burn Everything is a hit!  It is actually the number one song on my mixtape!! I tried putting it somewhere else on the list but I had to open up with that track!!  Just too awesome!!  Team Kremate is  Savage da Beast, Flint, Bones, and Dime Poe!!


Flint, Savage, Dime Poe, Bones

Next up was Smirf's battle with Vizz from Philly!!  I'm not gonna lie, Vizz came to fight but so did Smirf!!  This was a really good battle and I will be glad when the footage comes out so people can hear all the bars and judge this one!!  I know who I thought won!  Everyone has their own opinions!!


Vizz and Smirf


This is when my camera died!!  :(  L Dot and Makk Mizzle and it was only for one round!!  Just a teaser???!!  Really??  LMAOOOO  People were upset about that!!!  But it was a good round!!  Can't wait to see if they are going to do a whole 3 rounds or what!!  LOL

L Dot and Makk Mizzle


This is when I left out to run home to get my charger and missed like 2 battles I think!!  

But I got back in time to see Hazzy and Spence!!  This battle is going to get views!!  I know it will! For one it's Female vs Male and for two they had been going back and forth over Facebook and Twitter!!  LOL

Hazzy and Spence
Now I am just trying to shine some light on Pit Fights!  If you want to see footage go to http://www.pitfights.tv/  Also there is an event every 3 Sunday!  They also have battles on the First Monday of the month!!  

If you can please come out to at least one event!!  I can guarantee it won't be your last!!  These battlers are gifted and will say things that will having you laughing for days and sometimes weeks later!!  LOL

Addressing the XXL list........

Ok I have about had it with this mess about the list!!!  What list???  Ok....a local writer Kim Brown wrote a list of 10 rappers that you need to know in Baltimore.  The list consisted of Skarr Akbar, Comp, Mully Man, DBoi, Miss Cream, Los or as he goes by now I guess King Los, Em Sea Water, Mooked Out, Starvation and Off Tha Edge.

Now that last 4 I have never heard of and I have been dealing with this scene since mid 2006!!!  So that right there goes to show you that you aren't going to know EVERY DAMN RAPPER in this scene!!

SIGHHHHHHH breathe Lisa!!!

So all I kept seeing was salty bitter ass feminine ass comments from dudes!!  First of all this isn't at TOP 10 list!!  It is just a list of rappers that the author felt people should get to know!  It is her opinion!!  See we got to come back to the whole opinion thing!!  SMH  In MY OPINION out of the ones I do know 2 of them I'm not even fans of!!  I show love for their grind and their work but their music....not a fan!!!  It is what it is no love lost but I just don't see what their "fans" see!! But that is MY OPINION!!!

I wrote this status on Thursday:

I am so over those of you bitching whining and crying that you aren't named in articles and list!! Do you all know how much I am overlooked for all the stuff and support I do?????? Top anything lists are mostly opinions or whoever is making a name in certain circles!! So all those crying about not being named in the XXL article which by the way WAS NOT A TOP 10 ANY DAMN THING.......do you want me to make you feel special and write an article and name you in it??? For fuck's sake get over that bullshit!!!! PLEASE!!!!! Let the fuckery keep you right where you are!!!! Sitting there complaining instead of taking the opportunity to get your press kit to writers, magazines.......smh. Dumbasses!!!!

Now anyone who knows me knows that I have my favorites!!  Just look at who I really promote and push!! Look at the pictures I have taken of over the years!  Look at the times you actually see me out at the shows!!  I have my favorite artists, rappers and singers!! But I also try and support everyone who is really working to make something happen for themselves and their team!!  Those who don't rap over their vocals ALL THE DAMN TIME!!  Those who have RADIO EDIT versions of their "HIT" song!!  Those who actually SELL their tickets and don't bring back 8 of the 15 saying yo I tried but.......Those are the people who have a business mind and actually want to get somewhere with music.

Now back to this list!!  I met Kim Brown when Ogun did the Winter Coat Drive.  She had used my picture of the I Support Baltimore Hip Hop billboard in an article she wrote!!  She was there to write a follow up article and asked if I could take some pictures for the article!  Of course I would!!  Just because you all know who the Baltimore Paparazzi is doesn't mean others do!! And I'm not mad or bitter that they don't!!  I just give them my business card!!  :)

So Kim writes this list and all hell seems to break loose with bullshit and fuckery!!! I'm sitting here shaking my head thinking as a fan of local music and independent artists, the stuff I'm seeing makes me not even want to be a fan of those names that are being thrown out there with the comments of ....well what about so and so he the hardest rapper in the city!!  Uhmmmmm that may very well be but guess what????  NOBODY KNOWS WHO THE HELL THAT IS!!!

Now if you know me you know that I'm the photographer of Wisdom Court!!  Wisdom Court has artists Billy Lyve, Penthouse and Voice on the roster.  Now none of them were mentioned and with all that Billy Lyve has accomplished anyone who knows that would think he would be mentioned!  But not one of us got on FB bitching, complaining, or moaning about not being mentioned!!  Hell Wisdom Court as a whole makes moves and does things and doesn't get the recognition that I think it deserves from the local scene!!  But it is recognized by the powers that be and by the fanbase it has and shows in the ticket sales at shows and the show offers that Billy Lyve receives!  So being on lists that are a matter of OPINION and who knows who really has no effect!

I understand that everyone wants to be recognized for what they do!  Everyone wants that shine, that moment in the spotlight but if you really aren't working on making your BUSINESS a success then what makes you so special???  There are hundreds if not thousands of rappers in this city and just imagine in the country!!!  Now, why are you bitching about you not being named or your mans and them not being named???  This is the time to get your press kit to people!!  This is the time to get your website out to people!!  This is the time to get your music out to people!!  Funny thing is that most of you who are doing the bitching DON'T HAVE ANY OF THOSE THINGS!!!  Yeah.....I said that!!!

So a big shout out to Kim Brown for the work she has done for the local hip hop scene!!  Because if she hadn't write articles about the local music then I wouldn't be writing this blog or writing comments or having discussions on this topic!!

Now how many of you that read this are pissed off at me??  LMAOOOO  It doesn't matter!!  At the end of the day, the truth hurts and it is the reality of you having to look in the mirror and face the fact that you aren't grinding as hard as you think or as your "team" keeps telling you that you are!!  I've always been told that real G's move in silence!!

Now get on your grind and start doing better business!!

Local "Beef".....is it worth it??




Let's talk beef and no I'm not talking t-bones and steak I'm talking this nonsense I have been seeing alot of in the Baltimore scene!  I mean beef is apart of the hip hop culture!  Just look back at LL Cool J and Canibus, Boogie Down Productions and Juice Crew, NWA and Ice Cube, Eazy E and Dr. Dre, Benzino and Emienem, LL and Kool Moe Dee, Jay-Z and Nas, Biggie and Pac...... and the list goes on and on!!  But what alot of people fail to realize is that if you gonna start "in wax" some people won't leave it "on wax"!!  Some of these rappers are really "about that life" as they all like to remind us!

Now to me the whole beef situation is ridiculous.  Especially in the local scene.  To me it's just a way of getting your name and your music heard!  9 times out of 10 there is no real issue or "beef".  No one had words face to face and it is usually something that was said to someone who told someone who told someone else!  Or it was a moment of trying to look tough and save face in a comment on Facebook or on Twitter!  Let's be honest.....why is anyone really hating on anyone in this scene??  Well I mean there are those who just like drama, feel low about the fact they aren't getting the shine they think they deserve, or they are just weak minded and need to grow the hell up!

The beef that I hate the most is the females!!  Oh my goodness!!!  It's already tough enough to be a female and be taken seriously enough in music.  Most of the females think they have to fit that Nicki or Lil Kim image when all I want them to do if be MC Lyte or Queen Latifah or hell even Roxanne Shante'!!! I'm talking women with bars.  Not women with bars but half ass dressed on stage or in videos trying to get people to listen to their music and watch their videos!  I see it all too often.  I have watched females who have done shows and looked nice or were wearing their tennis or boots then someone gets in their ear and they are wearing short skirts and stilettos and can't move around on stage!!  No one is listening to your bars except maybe me or a couple others!!  You females need to get it together!  I mean you aren't going to like one another and guess what????  THERE DOESN'T NEED TO BE JUST ONE FEMALE ARTIST!!!!   These men have you brainwashed that you can't share the limelight with other females!!

Another aspect of this "beef" situation is subliminal FB statuses.  Now everyone is guilty of putting something out there with no name!  Sometimes you have to because you don't want anyone chiming in or "having your back" because you don't fuck with someone!  Hell I don't fuck with a few people and believe it out not people are still shocked when they ask me about them and I say I don't fuck with them!!  First thing they say is oh I don't be on FB like that!  LOL  I didn't put it on FB like that!  But I see it all the time!  Joe Blow isn't cool with Buddy Lo and then Joe's people are steady writing stuff about Buddy without saying his name and then Buddy is writing about Joe and then Buddy's people start in!  SMH  You have all the time in the world to write bullshit you need to be in the studio or at a job occupying your mind!  It's really not even worth the time or effort.  If you truly have an issue with someone then tell them what it is and either resolve it or don't fuck with them!  LOL  Seriously, when do you cross pathes???  FB statuses???  Half of you don't even cross one another at shows!  Either you aren't doing shows or you don't run in the same circles!  Get over it!!

I wasn't going to waste my time on this but it's just crazy that locally people are doing all this and want to be taken seriously by A&R's and record companies or even artists.  I'm here to tell you that you will be labeled as trouble, not worth the time or effort and they don't have time to be spending money on cleaning up your messes.  Everyone wants to be 50 Cent!  Well I'm sorry to tell you that instead of trying to be someone who is already established try being someone different!  The internet is full of wanna be's!!  You see how many rappers there are just in Baltimore City???  New ones coming out every day!!  Now look at the US alone and how many cities and little towns there are!!  Yeah there are millions of people trying to do the same thing you are trying to do!!  There are even more in other countries!!

But this "beef" nonsense I have been seeing is crazy!  I mean I'm not mad at those who responded because yeah I would too!  Especially when you didn't know there was an issue and all of a sudden someone is talking hella shit about you or writing a diss song or writing stuff on FB.  I say address it and move the hell on because they are just bored with their life or they love drama and it's not worth all that going back and forth! Want to end it all???  Approach them with some videoing it and ask them is there a problem, what it is and what they want to do to move on.  That way there can't be no nonsense that you said this or that or they didn't say this or that!

So is the beef really that serious??  I doubt it!!  Jealousy because they aren't getting recognized or they feel some kinda way about your shine....I'm not gonna say they are "hatin" because everyone wants to say that everyone is hating on them and its really not true!!  But there is some kind of drama they have built up in there heads.

So I'm telling you now that I'm not going to participate in the nonsense because you all look like fools to me going back and forth, sending shots at one another in statuses and tweets.  Hell I got told that it seemed like someone was taking a shot at me in a song!  LOL  Oh well, they didn't say my name but the whole Paparazzi thing makes people think about me I guess!!  Its cool!!  I really don't care because for real they aren't making any money and I'm about to do some things to hopefully help my pockets!!

Baltimore.....before you engage in the fuckery think about what you really want to do with your music career.  Think about is it really worth your time to sit on the internet talking hella shit??? Because I'm telling you for myself that I don't have to do anything to anyone who is "beefing" with me.  There are too many who have not a care in the world to take that internet mess to the street.  Some of you forget that.  So if you want to be a Facebook gangsta, a Twitter thug and sit behind your keyboard the only thing I can tell you is one day someone will approach you in the street, someone will tell where you live and someone will not listen that you weren't talking about so and so.  Every day someone loses their life in this city.

Music is a business!!!  Treat it as such!!  Let's get money people!!  Let's get distribution!!!  Let's get some fans!!!  Leave all that beef mess to the idiots!!!

The 6th Annual Baltimore Crown Awards


The 6th Annual Baltimore Crown

On November 3, 2012 Baltimore came out for the 6th year in a row to support one another and as it has been stated numerous times it was like a family reunion!  Seeing "family members" that you haven't seen since last year or meeting new "family members", introducing the new with the old!  



I have had the privilege of being apart of these awards since 2009. I have received Special Appreciation  and Special Contribution awards and last year I was awarded Photographer of the Year.  This year I received Special Appreciation once again! Yayyyy me!!  LOL  Every year the numbers of people who come out grow and this year new categories were added!!

Now these awards are to honor everyone but of course you get those who get mad they weren't nominated or they didn't win and of course they get online and talk major shit.  SIGHHHH  Most of all they just don't realize that if you don't toot your own horn how is anyone suppose to know what you are doing?  This city is so big with rappers, singers, emcees that people forget that not everyone knows who you are and most of all alot of you don't travel in the same circles.  I can't tell you how many people have come up to me in the past 5 years and as me oh you don't know who I am??  No I don't.  Just like most people don't know the artists I know.  When it comes to the Crown nominations, it comes from you or someone nominating you with reasons why you should be considered for the awards!  Not that difficult!!  I have heard so many times rappers saying oh I had the hardest mixtape this year.  Really??  When did it come out??  How many physical copies you sell?  How many downloads you have??  I have you been pushing it since it came out??  I'm just asking!
































The Cypher
















Back to the awards!






Photo Shoot in the middle of the show!! LOL


















Well anyway, I love the atmosphere of the Crown!  Chin Yer always mixes the "veterans" with the new and the awards are more than just hip hop.  It's spoken word and dance also.  It's recognizing media, businesses, the battle rappers, and legends!  When the night was over I couldn't wait until we are all sitting there next year!!  I heard and seen people on Facebook saying next year they were going to win an award.  

For a complete list of winners you can go to the following link and if you haven't already click like on the Baltimore Scene Facebook page!!

https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.481904405187490.117707.252844041426862&type=1

If you didn't attend this year make sure you attend next year!  If I tried to write everything that I seen this blog would be long as hell!!  Just know that it is our music and art scene's equivalent of the industry music awards.  Being nominated should feel just as good as if you win.  And whether you win or not or if you are nominated or not shouldn't cause you to be mad.   I didn't win Photographer of the Year and I wasn't even mad.  For one, I won last year and I know what I contribute to the scene and two my favorite photographer and a great guy won....J5!!  If I had to "lose" to anyone I'm glad it was him!!

So will I be seeing you all next year at the 7th Annual Baltimore Crown Awards???  I sure hope so!  If you are looking for me, I will be right up front with my camera in hand to capture the moments for those who can't be there!!

So congratulations to all the winners!!!  Congratulation to all the nominees!!!  Congratulations to everyone that came out to show love and support for this event!!

Congratulations again to Skarr Akbar for winning the beat battle even though he only had one other producer step up against him!!  Shout out to  Mr Spaz to not being scared to compete with Skarr!  LOL

Well enjoy the pictures!!  All of them can be found on my Facebook page!!
