Pete give me a call - your still the illest!
My man Pete Nice is the illest since back in the day. I was a huge 3rd bass fan, but Pete was the one. He said some shit even back then and Daddy Rich is still #1. Anyway i was lucky enough to meet up with Pete and collab on a few tees, and just build on science, math and all that. I still trying to get him to do a new joint. 2009 style. Nuff Ced..

Aaron LaCrate is one of those enigmatic cats who seems to manage to run things on both sides of the tracks. Growing up in East Baltimore, he pushed his passions to the next level from DJing, to skating, to graffiti. Moving to NYC in his late teens, he's been pushing Baltimore's musical heritage to a worldwide scale, linking with clothing labels, brands and music industry types to shine a spotlight on a city that has always been a bit under the radar. If it weren't for Aaron LaCrate, the Baltimore Gutter sound wouldn't have reached the UK and we probably wouldn't have heard from Spank Rock or Amanda Blank. In the UK to promote his Bodymore Murdaland photography exhibition, RBMA Radio caught up with Aaron and his new signing Young Verb, to find out more about Baltimore and Milkcrate Records.

90s B-more PIcs @ Remedy
These old pics keep poppin up, thanks to the old crew for sending these through, with the Fever reunion around the corner theres nostalgia in the air!
This was my basement of the old Bank nightclub in Baltimore where I would spin, now called Bedrock where me and my old pal Jason Patrick threw the crazed party Remedy in 94 and 95. That spot was live and i used to set up the decks right on that wooden bar and sell mixtapes and t-shirts while i was spinnin, was a great time, funny story all my old goon buddies used to roll down there, one nght a rave kid who will go unamed jokingly said cool aaron sucks! One of the goons instantly knocked him out. Ah the old days i miss them so!
Anyhow I painted most of the basement myself, the characters and all the background is my 90s stylee...
I dont know the people in the pics but they look very 90s..
