K-SWIFT & SOME CLUB MUSIC


i just got the latest k-swift (myspace) jumpoff mixtape "not guilty" the other day... its more club focused than a lot of the recent ones, less high school kids rapping (no wolfpack-o). like always theres a lot of gems on here by the usual producers, with the notable exception of blaqstarr (myspace), but he gets sampled enough so you cant really tell.

for all yall non-marylanders, k-swift (who also spins baltimore club some nights on the radiostation 92Q) has an exclusive deal w/ this clothes/shoes store downtown locker room, where they sell all her mixtapes & a lot of other unruly records stuff. its a pretty solid setup for picking up baltimore mixtapes out in the shuburbs. i don't even get it really...

johnny blaze - who in here (zshare)
one of the standout tracks by one of the standout producers (site). i love the african sounding drums (its the same sample from scottie b's african chant, i think). he always gets such great throw-your-sets-up type hooks, even over a lighter song like this one.

kw griff - its nutty (zshare)
for full effect, you've got to have this one too, the next song on the tape. the vocals are chopped real well and its nice to go from the bongo-y stuff to the grittier club stuff... i mean it goes OFF from here. kw griff is another big big producer, part of the doo dew kidz (myspace) w/ booman.

i could go on for days about this stuff, but i'd better hold it in for some more posts. check out the names up there -- they're all longtime fixtures in baltimore clubs, serious og status-- try and pick up some k-swift mixtapes from her site...
