With the DMV’s own Judah on the beat, and cosigns from illroots, DJ Benzi, and illvibes-dmv.com, how can you go wrong? Enter Baltimore artist Greenspan, whose next project, When the Sky Turns Green, is due out August 11, is gaining major endorsements. Greenspan recently joined DMV native Wale on the Baltimore leg of his ultra popular Attention Deficit Tour. His freshman project entitled Got Green? received rave reviews from the Baltimore City Paper who loved his live show, calling him “an underrated local rapper with one of the tightest live shows in the city.” Allhiphop.com featured Greenspan’s single “Who Got the Jazz” and users gave it 4 out of 5 stars, great for his freshmen effort. With creative lyricism and hard hitting beats, Greenspan is positioned to take over the hip hop game in the DMV and beyond.
He’s remixed Mario’s smash hit, Lovin You for his new track Love Me Back aka Breakin Up Remix and you can listen to it below. Let MMIM know what you think.
Check out the album cover and tracklisting for Nicolay’s upcoming project Shibuya, which is the second installment of his City Lights series slated to be released on September 15th. This album will reflect Nicolays vist to Tokyo where the producer described it as “am amazing place where all of the sounds and colors immediately filled up his senses.” I am sure this album will be soothing to all of our ears, especially if it compares to the sophomore Foreign Exchange album, Leave It All Behind.
