D. Omen...

Alittle Background info: August 31, 1988, God sent another virtuoso to earth. Born in New Jerusalem, Damien "D. Omen" lived a nomadic life with his single parent mother, relocating from different areas of New York and New Jersey, eventually landing in the MD/DC metropolitan area, also known today as "The D.M.V.". D. Omen gained recognition from his peers at school, hip-hop & poetry venues, as well as various competitions through out the area. Most notabe for his witty and thought provoking lyricism that consists of high-caliber punchlines and views of political, domestic or international affairs. D. Omen has one completed project under his belt, titled "Brimstone: The Rise Of Damien" which featured a slew of artists and producers D. Omen has respected or admired. Still progressing with his style, becoming more innovative and diverse than in previous releases; The Class Clown [his second project] D. Omen hopes to ultimately capture the ears of music lovers everywhere.

* Its a cool record called "On The Grind" so...

The Welcome to D.C. show!

The "Welcome to D.C." show should have been called the "It's all Love Show". Tabi performed and killed  it and then at the end of Wale's performance he brought out Studio 43/SRC Universal and DMV native Marky for a quick performance of his banger Thug Passion. 

A good night in the city!

Trouble Funk-Mister Magic

For you youngins out there!

Major Move.....................

D.C.'s own Wale has blown up the past couple of months partly thanks to his recent signing to Interscope and partly due to his underground appeal and strong online presence. L-R-G, always on the cusp of hip-hop and street wear fashion has scooped up Wale as a recent sponsor which includes the basic appearances with the L-R-G Clothing and various print ads. 

These ads are in XXL, Vibe, The source and all other hip hop related publications.

Thanks to ME (Judah)!

Remeber were you seen it first. (I think) HAHAHA

Look what I found..................

I was going through some disc and I found a lot of old hot records I did with some DMV artist back in my mixtape days. It had to be around 2000-2006. Some artist are still at it and some are well.........milk cartoned! I actually put it together a while ago but never put it out because "Who the Hell is JUDAH" to have a "Best of JUDAH" but now............................I'm Mr. In High Demand!

THE DMV's Top Ten List!

The good folks over at the www.dalockerroom.blogspot.com put together a list of the hottest artist/groups in the DMV check it out. I try to stay away from this type of stuff because I work with most of these artist and groups so I'm glad someone else did it.

This list is based on recent sales and radio play, street buzz, label status and body of work. Artist must have released product, had a radio single or created buzzworthy news within the last 12 months. Also, I define the DMV as DC, PG/Montgomery/Charles (basically anything thats doesn't border Baltimore) and Northern VA. (sorry Chris Brown, Trey Songz and The Clipse). I will be posting an all time list in the upcoming weeks.

So without further adieu...I present to you my list of the "Top Ten Urban Artist/Groups In The DMV".

1. Raheem DeVaughn (major label artist, large fanbase, radio/video play, catalog)


2. Wale (signed to arguably the best major for rap (Interscope), large fanbase, street/industry buzz, radio play, featured with several major label artist)


3. J. Holiday (major label artist, hit single, album sales)


4. Mambo Sauce (two certified hit singles in last year on Billboard charts, radio/video play, large fanbase)


5. Tabi Bonney (two hit singles in last year, radio/video play, large fanbase)


6. Chuck Brown (DC legend, released album last year with Chucky Thompson, radio play, large fanbase)


7. Marky (major label artist, managed by Kenny Burns (industry vet), recently released solid mixtape)


8. The Committee (two hit singles in last year, radio play, streetbuzz)


9. The Oy Boyz (large fanbase, streetbuzz, strong mixtape catalog, recognized outside of DC by national artist)


10. TNT (Top Notch Teamsters)-(large fanbase, streetbuzz, strong catalog of songs/albums)

Honorable Mention: Backyard, Familiar Faces, Gerreddi, SE Slim, Ms. Kim, UCB, Whitefolkz, Don Juan, TCB, Da Mayor, 20 Bello, B.A., Kingpin Slim

I will be re-publishing this list periodically so if you think you were wrongfully left off, make sure you keep Da Locker Room on your radar. Send us your upcoming events, projects, news, etc. and post your myspace page in the comments section so people can hear your music. We will also post some of your items you send...So until next time...Holla! (Stay tuned for the Best Go-Go Bands of All-Time list and several other DMV top list!)
