Yung Hustle Hard Feat. Damond Blue “Life Of The Party”

On January 23^rd 2015, Loud Boyz Muzic Group released the highly anticipated debut video “Life Of The Party” from the 12 year old phenomenon Azhae Jobes aka “Yung Hustle Hard” featuring the musically acclaimed “Damond Blue.” “Life of the Party” was shot and edited by the national accredited videographer “Tha Profitt” and is the first single off of “Yung Hustle Hard’s” upcoming 2015 CD Release.

Whenever he steps on stage or into the recording booth he commands the attention of his audience and has left crowds amazed by his natural raw talent and true ambition.

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.

Profitt Productions Joell Ortiz Cypher Event.....

I didn't get to say much about the show last night!  I was too tired and hurting.  Jeff Tha Profitt Kowalewski awesome event as always.  Ogun Bmorehero is by far the best host that I have seen at an event.  The place was packed early.  I guess it takes a name like Joell Ortiz to be headlining the show for people to actually come out and on time.

The acts were a range of talent and styles.  From the lone artist on stage to having 20 people behind the artists and none of those 20 know the lyrics to the songs...they just want to be seen I guess!  I never will understand that.

It was a very long night I will say.  I don't even know how many acts there were until the cypher began.  But there were a lot!  It was good because those acts had supporters and the came out in full force.

The cypher was kinda awesome.  A few names I know and more that I didn't!!  And for these artists to be able to show their talent to someone of Joelle Ortiz's caliber had to be an awesome thing.  This guy was so down to Earth and humble.  He was just a pleasure to see perform and to hear speak to the local artists.

The main talk that I heard is that Shy Lady Heroin killed the cypher.  And although there are personal issues, I will never take away from her abilities or talent.  Some may say that it was because she was the only female in the cypher and you could probably argue that but you can't argue her talent.

I left before anything was judged or whatever the case was with the event.  I was tired and my body was hurting and ready to give up. I'm really getting too old to be out on my feet for hours taking pictures! One of the main reasons I have slowed down and don't go to many shows......my health just won't let me.

If you ever see Profitt Productions on a flyer or mentioned or Profnation, please be sure to check out the event!  I can guarantee you will not be disappointed.

Pictures from the event will be posted in the next day or so!  I have a couple other events to go through first.  But check out Baltimore Paparazzi and hit LIKE.  Once I post them, they will pop up on your newsfeed.  Also check out Baltimore Paparazzi website for other events, videos of local artists and a range of other things!

Shows, Events and Professionalism

I came into the music scene here in Baltimore as a fan.  Slowly I became much more.  I don't know how it happened but the next thing I knew I was The Baltimore Paparazzi....the one who took all the pictures of all the artists at all the shows and even did a recap on my MySpace and Facebook pages.

I became known more than a lot of the artists who claimed that everyone knew them in the city.  All because of my pictures.

Last year I decided to throw shows so that local artists would have a platform to be able to perform.  There are quite a few artists/rappers who had never been on a stage and my event was their first.  And then there were some who have been on stage numerous times and didn't think they were too big to perform at The 5 Seasons.

Now the title says Professionalism and that's on purpose.  I try to be as professional as I can and yes sometimes I slip just like everyone else but usually it is because someone pulls me out of character.

My events are 12 artists, each with 12 mins on stage.  I require that the artists pay a $25 deposit on 15 tickets and then they only owe $50 the night of the show!  So that's $75.  They sell the tickets for $10.  So that is $150.  Minus the $75 and the artist made $75 on selling their tickets!

Some people might not agree with selling tickets but to me if they don't sell them, nine times out of ten the artists will be only performing in front of other artists who all paid for a slot.  That might be fine for some but not for me!  I want people in the building and I have a staff to pay as well.  DJ, Host, Door person and Production not to mention the venue!

Then there is the being on time that really gets to me.  If I say I need the artists there at a certain time it is so we can get the show started and not be rushing to be done with the show.  But it seems like most want to come late and think they are going to go on stage as soon as they get there!  SMH

Seems like most artists are wanting to be on the big stages and get big shows but can't even be professional at the entry level.  I have seen this more so in the past couple of years.  I understand that no one is stepping up and mentoring these artists/rappers and maybe that's what needs to be done.  Most get a little buzz and then get an ego.  If I put your name on a flyer, how many people are truly coming?  The test has been done time and time again......and its not in their favor.

I am going to continue to try and keep my show going for those who truly love what they do and to get more exposure.  It may just be The 5 Seasons......well The Hott Spott and it maybe just a little venue but it is my way of helping this culture stay alive!!!!

June 8, 2005 Rest In Peace Rodney Russell Privette

In December 2003, a man and I connected on Black Planet.  We talked through there and eventually went to Yahoo Messenger.  Then to phone calls.  I had just gone through a bad break-up.  After 3 and a half years the man I was going to marry up and married someone else 8 months after I moved to Baltimore.  Talk about feeling foolish.

I gave Rodney a had way to go.  He wanted to spend time with me and I kept pushing him to the side.  He would say I will pay for everything...food, gas, movies....whatever you want to do!  I would just say I couldn't.  I don't bring men around my children who isn't going to be apart of their life and when I didn't have them on the weekend I was out at Bohagers with my friends.  Living life!!

One day I got a message form Rodney that said he had been in the hospital and he was on his way back and he would let me know everything when he got back home.  When he called me it wasn't anything I expected.  He had been at work one day.  He delivered hardwood floors.  He felt weak and tired so he sat in the truck.  Later on that night he was at his neighbor's house and wasn't feeling well again.  They called the ambulance and he then found out his heart was enlarged.  I then stopped and said I need to give this man a chance at least.

From that day forward I spent my days loving him.  We thought we were going to have more time together.  We planned on getting married on his birthday day....September 19th so he could remember our anniversary....we talked about having another child because he didn't have any of his own....we talked about how he wanted us all to move to Suitland to be near his family.

He spent a month and a half in Johns Hopkins.  I was there, at work, college and trying to raise my kids.  I finally had to quit my job.  It was too hard.  Especially not knowing how much time I had left with him.

On June 6, 2005, Rodney and I exchanged vows in front of the hospital chaplin and she prayed with us. She said that in God's eyes we were married and a piece of paper wasn't going to change that.  They wouldn't issue a marriage certificate because Rodney was on Morphine by this time.

On June 8, 2005, I went to the hospital at 4 pm.  I opened the door and seen my father in law.  I know something had happened or was about to happen.  The doctors took him off all of the medicines that were keeping him alive and we were going to let Rodney go. Neither Mr. William or I truly wanted this but there was nothing else the doctors could do.  The damage was too severe and he was no longer a candidate for a transplant.  He stopped taking his medicines and gave up months before and that's why we were sitting in the hospital.

I had planned on leaving the hospital at around 8pm if nothing happened and go be with the kids.  At  7:55pm they pronounced him dead.  I was holding his hand and talking to him while he slipped away.  I told him that it was ok to go.  We all were going to be ok.  I just didn't want him to suffer and be in pain anymore.  I told him that I loved him and the kids loved him and to just go ahead and go.  I was in his face when he took his last breath.  He never woke up to talk to his dad and the last words he said to me were the night before as I was leaving.  He said tell the kids I love them and I love you.

9 years later and it still hurts.  I have tried to move on in my love life with no luck.  I have dated over the years and had friends but they always seem to want to play games or be so untruthful.  I never compare anyone to Rodney because he was one of a kind to say the least.  I have only seen one man that even remind me of him.  I think there is a reason for that!  I feel him with me and even hear his voice at times.  I know he is watching over me and the kids.

This year has been extremely hard.  With my daughter about to give birth to my grandson in a matter of weeks and Rodney isn't here, Kashmir is sad about that.  And then the untimely passing of a man who was and still is an impact on the city....Derrick Jones aka Yo Slick  aka OOH......its just been even more emotional especially since he and Rodney were the same at when they passed!

So please I beg you all that if you love someone let them know!  Tell them every day that you have with them!!!  You never know how long you have with them!!

A Sad Day In Baltimore........

I can't tell you when we were introduced.....I really don't think there was I hi my name is Lisa or a hi my name is OOH.  I can however tell you the first time I seen him.

I had gone to a cd release party at the 13th Floor at the Belvedere.  I had just started showing my face on the music scene and barely knew anyone.  So this group got on stage and started performing.  I was taking pictures....like always because I didn't know people and I wanted to remember the shows.  The guy on the mic said something about being from Poplar Grove!  Oh ok....that's where I live!  Then he raised his shirt and I took pictures of his stomach.  Never knew who he or the group was but I really didn't know but a handful of people at that time.

The next memory I have is when I was on stage at the Baltimore Crown Awards.  I was accepting an award....not sure what it was for...might have been Photographer of the Year or Contribution Award....anyway, I was saying that most of the people in there might not know me and I take pictures of the local hip hop shows, ect.  OOH yells you took pictures of my stomach and said it a couple more times.  It made me smile and laugh and honored that he would speak up like that!  Almost giving me validity in the music scene.

In February, I had my event and The Love Peace Project wanted to be apart of it and I said sure. Love having something different at the event!  Changa then told me that Brown F.I.S.H. was going to be apart of it too!  I was so excited!  By now I knew who Jahiti and OOH were and held conversations and loved being in their presence.  OOH called me and we had a long talk about the event and all the details that he wasn't sure about.  So we made a deal that he would host and I was so excited!!!  The show went till after 2am.  LOL  Larry was trying to tell me to wrap it up.  Solomon was more understanding.  And OOH was his usual smiling and awesome self!

Last night I knew that something had happened to OOH but was hoping that it was nothing serious and we would be seeing him posting about his Save A Dope Boy campaign or something about saving our youth but instead I got a phone call a little after 9pm that had me stunned, my heart hurting, my mind went blank, and tears were streaming.

OOH.....Derrick Jones......Yo Slick.....was gone.

My first thoughts were of his wife, child and family.  I know that feeling.  I have been through it.  No words can comfort.  No words can make you feeling any better!  But I know that with time those words mean a whole lot to them.

This man....this one man was trying to make a difference in the city.  He had an idea and a plan and he made it happen.  He was supported by so many that he supported.

June 3, 2014 we lost a man who not only was a husband, a father, a son, a brother, a uncle....we lost a phenomenal artist, innovator, advocate, legend and most of all a hero.

Puzzle Pieces

She wanted him so bad.  She had missed him so much over the years.  But she wasn't about to get her feelings mixed up again.  She couldn't let herself feel so much for him and he wasn't able to do the same for her.  It wasn't that he wouldn't.....he just couldn't.  Life can be so complicated.  But here he was holding her, kissing her, telling her how he felt and all she could do was smile and not say anything. She was too afraid to say anything because what if he really didn't mean it.  What if it was just the alcohol talking.  What if he was going to regret it the next day.

All she did know was that looking at him smile made her melt.  Feeling his lips on hers felt like fire was consuming her. The touch of his hands sent chills throughout her body.  She had missed him more than even she had realized.  The words I love you came from his mouth and as much as she wanted to say them back, her head was screaming no!  She did love him.  She had loved him.  No matter what happened in the past few years, she couldn't stay mad or upset with him.  She loved his spirit, his soul....she loved him.

Laying in his arms it felt like this is where she was suppose to be.  Like 2 pieces of a puzzle that fit perfectly in a puzzle that they didn't belong to.  Her head laid on his shoulder, listening to him breathe as he dozed off.  She stared at his face thinking that it was a dream and not wanting to wake up if it was one.  She laid there thinking this was so wonderful.  And then reality started setting in.  In a few hours, he would be gone.  On his way back home.  She would once again wonder when she would see him again.  Wondering when he would call.  Wondering when she would feel his touch.  And this is why she couldn't let herself fall for him again.
