King Tutt - The Evolution EP (Unruly Records) When I picked King Tutt as the best club music producer in the City Paper's 2007 Best Of Baltimore issue, I was really trying to look ahead, and find someone less known that was showing a lot of potential, instead of just giving the award to someone more...

Mullyman - "Bmore Go Harder" (mp3) Doo Dew Kids and Mullyman - "Step Aside" (mp3) Mullyman - "Number One (wiRemix)" (mp3) Mully's been on a pretty ridiculous grind the past few months, e-mailing out new songs and freestyles over popular tracks (that he called "wiRemixes," get it). And while I don't ...

Claire Hux - Jammin On The One Mixtape Mixed By DJ Scottie B. (Unruly Records) Claire Hux is kind of a new direction for Unruly Records, not quite Baltimore club music but not-not Baltimore club either, a weird hipster rap electro dance group featuring a rapper named DLake and a singer named Symbol....

Club Queen K-Swift - Jumpoff Greatest Hits, Vol. 1-5 (Unruly Records/Koch Entertainment) So this is it: the last DJ mix that K-Swift ever recorded, shortly before her tragic death last summer. As I learned in my interview with Sean Caesar before the CD was released, she planned it as the first of th...

Y'know, it's funny. I've been running this site for over 4 years now, and hearing more and more Baltimore rap every year that I do it, and yet every year I feel less and less qualified to let my opinion be the end-all-be-all that some people treat it as. There's simply too much music, too much varie...

DJ Booman - "Lookin' Boy (Club Remix)" (mp3) DJ Booman - "Closer (Club Remix)" (mp3) I know I've been posting Booman tracks here a lot lately, but if anyone else e-mailed me new music as often as him that was as consistently good as his, I'd post their shit all the time too. Here's Baltimore club mi...

DJ Pierre - Vol. 4: The Chosen One (Bounce Alot Productions) DJ Pierre is a producer I interviewed for a Club Beat column a while back who's only 17 years old and still in high school, really part of this new school of Baltimore club producers that are kids from the city who kinda build more on Blaq...

Wale and Scottie B. - "The Bmore Club Slam" (mp3) Wale is a rapper from Washington, D.C., and I never really cover D.C. artists on this site because I feel like I know the Baltimore scene and that's a whole other scene that deserves coverage from people that know it better. But Wale is a pretty dope...

K-Swift The Club Queen - Jumpoff Vol. 12 (Unruly Records) I'm pretty late on covering this, since Vol. 13 in this series has been out already, but 12 really jams so I wanted to write something about this one before getting to that later. Like all K-Swift mixes, it's sold at Downtown Locker Room, and...
