BIO: Folkz, Washington, D.C. native son and
artist formerly known as Whitefolkz, has performed all over the world,
working with a wide range of musicians from Snoop Dogg to Field Mob.
2-Time DMV Award winning Best Male Rapper and Mixtape Of The Year,
Folkz has made a name for himself locally as well as nationally. An
expert jazz guitarist, what sets Folkz aside from other hip hop artists
is his ability to incorporate his guitar in all of his songs and
performances.
VIDEO WRITE-UP: The
newest video from the Topp Dogg Hill recording artist has many unusual
elements, from the Blind Melon bridge at the end of the song to the
dissonant live guitar (played by Folkz) throughout the song. The subject
matter ranges from Folkz's love for his city to his affinity for
"Dopeboy Talk," while constantly maintaining an other-worldly feel to
the record. This song is a perfect example of Folkz's eccentric side and
an ode to the diverse sounds you will be hearing on his upcoming
"Slumdogg Trillionaire" project. Enjoy the video & get song mp3 here.

@IAmPoet87 - Heartless
P.O.E.T. stands for Perseverance Over Everything.
But, it is more than an acronym; it’s a testament to the life struggles
narrated by the story-telling style of this young, up-and-coming
hip-hop artist from Baltimore, MD, who prides himself on making music
that matters. With compelling stories, P.O.E.T. pours himself into every
song he creates to deliver an authentic experience for his listeners to
enjoy.
P.O.E.T.’s
journey to become an authentic rapper is was shaped by personal tragedy
and struggle, which proved he had a voice and a clear message to share.
P.O.E.T’s debut album “Heartless” (2011) chronicles the failed
relationship experienced during a crucial point in his life. Learning
from his experiences and turning them into artistic, lyrical visions.
P.O.E.T. is committed to making music with meaning, inspired by his own
life stories as he continues his journey venturing into the
entertainment industry.
As the
name suggests, P.O.E.T. uses his intellect, articulation and
individuality to stand out among the very competitive hip-hop world.
Unsatisfied with the current trends in hip-hop, P.O.E.T. is determined
to provide powerful and original stories in his music, without the use
of gimmicks or fads. Currently, P.O.E.T. is in production of his
sophomore album Love in Hip-Hop,
which will be released in 2013. The Baltimore emcee promises his
sophomore effort will continue to provide listeners with relative and
timeless music to be enjoyed for years to come.
@goldbrained - "Whippin"
Monet,
which means to be heard, is exactly what this DC Native is striving to
do. Born and raised in SE Washington, DC, this artist is definitely no
stranger to struggle. Growing up, her biggest influence was her mom, who
worked to take care of her and her older sister, Brittany, all by
herself, sometimes not having enough money to feed herself. For Monet,
this is what pushes her today to succeed and follow her dreams. Music
was always a major part of her life, but for so long fear has held her
back from pursuing what really matter to her more than anything, and
that's the music. I guess you could say that was the quiet before the
storm because in 2013, and years to come you can be sure you will see
this artist. Stay tuned.
@sse_rude @topdollasweizy #Iainttripping
Rudeboy’s Biography:
J.Walker
, better known as RudeBoy, was born on November12, 1985. He is an
uptown Washington DC native. Raised in the heart of "Wood Terrace", a
northwest neighborhood, Rude was exposed to a world that most people
could not imagine. His everyday surroundings were filled with drugs and
violence. Even in these unbelievable circumstances, Rude managed to make
something positive out of the negativity that surrounded him. The
streets unknowingly groomed a rapper who would take these experiences
and make them into songs that recalled his everyday hustle...the streets
told his story.
Rude began rapping at the age of 14. He credits 2pac as being one of
his biggest influences when he was a young teen. After noticing the
candor of his skills and the passion for turning his struggle into rap
songs, Rude began to enter local rap battles. Not only did he enter the
battles, he demolished the competition.
Rap helped Rude to stay out of trouble. Instead of hanging on the
corner, Rude chose to stay in the house and write lyrics. After losing
two of his closest friends, Big Son and Neal to senseless street
violence, Rude hit rock bottom. He recalls this as being one of the
hardest points in his life. Losing his close friends caused him to have a
lot of hurt and pain built up so he did what he knew best...hit the
studio. This loss resulted in Rude becoming closer with his friends,
whom he considers to be family. His first single/video was " I Love My
Hood", an ode to the neighborhood where he grew up.
During this time, Rude was signed to a local independent rap label.
The label was slow on releasing music created by Rude so he did what he
does best, turned a negative situation into a positive success. Rude
took matters into his own hands and began burning his own cd’s. He sold
them at local stores in the neighborhood.
Throughout his ups and downs, Rude has continued to stay humble and
true to his passion. In 2011, Rude founded his own label SSE; "SoWavvy
Splash Endless" . Under his new found label, Rude dropped his smash
single, "Boss" off his "Happy Birthday to Me" mixtape. Rude has and
always will be a man of his word.

the most high with this track "Billions and Pennies".

Inverse Tangent presents The Reality tape
At a time
where most artists chose to follow trending fashions and musical
customs, came six individuals who felt the need to unite their efforts
to express their own profound sentiments as opposed to the
“happy-go-lucky” tunes that flooded their local radio stations. Although
they agree that happy tunes can be uplifting during a time of
recession, they also believe that relatable songs about struggle can be
even more uplifting to those who feel alienated by the system, hence the
name InVerse TangENT. The name, aptly conjured up by one of the group’s
founding members AlgahRhythm, invokes the mathematical concept of a
tangent line that intersects a parabola at a single point but then goes
off on its own path. As such, the group may concur with some ideals of
their musical counterparts;
however, they attempt to be as down to earth as they can be in order to
express every range of human emotion while offering some insight on
some of today’s biggest issues, such as poverty, racism, chronic
illnesses, ethnic boundaries, amongst other problems.
The first complete project from the group is “The Reality Tape” (Released AUGUST 17th 2011) which aims to introduce the world to the aforementioned concept behind the name InVerse TangENT. The official single for the mixtape is “Mentally High (produced by Laudz)”, a track which perfectly displays a few of the group’s assets and sound. Participating in the single are five members from the group - Soulogik, Philasophikal, AlgahRhythm, RealDeal, and Butterfly G. The other member who also lends production and features throughout the album is the Brooklyn emcee J Spitz. As of now, all members currently reside within The DC metropolitan area but their backgrounds include Mozambique, Ghana, and of course Brooklyn, New York. With the mixtape being a mere introduction, one can only imagine what the future holds for such a passionate group.

Stop The Baltimore Sun from being sold to the Koch brothers
The Koch brothers are the right-wing oil and gas billionaire duo infamous for funding the Tea Party. Now they want to
buy their own media empire to spread their extreme views—including the Baltimore Sun and its parent, the Tribune
Company.
The Kochs have spent their fortune funding anti-worker candidates like Scott Walker, right-wing lobbying groups like ALEC and climate-change denying 'think tanks.' They even warned tens of thousands of their employees that there would be "consequences" if they didn't vote for Republicans. Not exactly the kind of guys I want running the most respected newspaper in Maryland. Isn't one Rupert Murdoch enough?

Not exactly the kind of guys I want running the most respected newspaper in Maryland. Isn't one Rupert Murdoch enough?
The Baltimore Sun is a valuable source of honest journalism. We can't let it turn into a right-wing mouthpiece.
That's why I started a petition to Tribune Company CEO Peter Liguori, which says:
Don't sell the Baltimore Sun to the union-busting, election-buying, climate-change-denying Tea Party-funding Koch
brothers.
Thanks!

@SupaScario - "Ain't It Mayne"
Scario is from Virginia, Bad Newz,
Virginia that is. This song is anything but bad news though. The beat is
hard as hell, Scario’s flow is right on point with the beat, &
the chorus is catchy. Southern trap music at its best right here. ‘Ain’t
it Mayne’ is Scario’s newest single to hit the streets. His previous
mixtape “Product 2” gained him some momentum while his track ‘VA Riot’
took it to another level with over 100K views and counting. Check out
the video for yourself. You can also hear more of Scario at his
Reverbnation page and download “Product 2” for your own good.
