Today I feel like listening to some local Hip Hop, so I think it appropriate to drop a couple tracks from one of my favorite DC/Bmore based MC’s. Articulate sent these tracks to me on different days over the last couple weeks, and I’m really into what he’s doing. Hopefully you’ll feel the same and show him some love next time he drops a record, or visits a venue in your city. Hip Hop on a Friday afternoon…What’s not to love?
Wordsmith feat. Articulate & Black Night – The New Street Kings (ZS)
Articulate – Dopeman (ZS)
Are you going to Sonar tomorrow night? Kick ass local lineup with Skarr, Mully and ET (Tislam and EQ of Unison Collective), as well as a few non-local acts including Grandmaster Melle Mel. Been looking forward to this show for awhile. If you come out, please introduce yourself…I’ll probably be taping from in front of the soundboard.
I’m either confused or there are multiple rappers in Bmore called Dopeman…I taped a guy three years ago at a community center and he went by Dopeman, but his vocal delivery was no where near as comprehensible as the tune you put up (the guy I saw sounded like he just crawled out of bed). Do you know if the Dopeman you featured has a website somewhere?
Sorry for the confusion, I think that I’m going to start underling the artists names…It’s Articulate rapping on the track…Dopeman is the title..Sorry about that.
I’m in town this weekend, and I’ve been dying to see some good hip hop. This show sounds really good. (I mean Melle Mel!!) I’ll def. stop by and say hello if I do.
My bad…I would have figured it out had I looked closer at the Wordsmith tune.
