Baltimore club music legend DJ Booman puts his spin on this surprisingly catchy song from Kim of the Real Housewives of Atlanta. I always try to give Boo suggestions on songs to remix, and he always politely listens, but this suggestion came from DJs Reddz & Heat. Good idea!

been meaning to add this since so many of my visitors end up here looking for this song.
smash & yung c: too much for me (clean)
Here are a couple recent CDs that feature photos by yours truly.
Al Great is an emcee whose work I just recently became familiar with, but I have been more than impressed with what I’ve heard so far, and definitely eager to hear more. You can check him out on MySpace. To download the mixtape pictured below, visit icomposehits.com.
Readers of this blog will already be familiar with Yung Crip, one half of the duo responsible for “A Bit Too Much for Me”. I thought he had changed his name to Yung C, but this CD cover is recent, so maybe the change was temporary? Check out his music on his MySpace page, too.
The photo above was taken a few years back for a Music Monthly cover story on Lafayette Gilchrist. The story was written by someone else, but in the course of shooting the photos and just hanging out, I had a wonderful time with Lafayette. He’s the kind of person who has so many interests and possesses so much knowledge, it’s impossible not to be inspired by him. And his music? Wow. I wouldn’t know where to start–and I’ve never considered myself a critic, per se–but I might recommend checking out The Music According to Lafayette Gilchrist first.
Lafayette and Carl Grubbs will be doing a special show this Sunday at Gallery Spectra, which I’ve written about here before. Founded and run by my lovely friends Karen Summerville and Shawn Holmes, the gallery is a beautiful space with a great vibe. The fact that it’s in Charles Village is icing on the cake!
From Gallery Spectra’s e-mail: “Carl Gordon Grubbs, alto, soprano and tenor saxophonist and Lafayette Gilchrist, jazz pianist are collaborating on a CD recording entitled The Maryland Traditions Project celebrating the music of significant jazz musicians from Baltimore, including Chick Webb, Eubie Blake, Billie Holiday, Albert Dailey and Baker Artist Awards winner Carl Grubbs!” (see the flier below for more details)
by the king of all rap ups, skillz… don’t watch or listen if you haven’t seen all seasons.
otherwise, enjoy!
also enjoy the look of love in jamie hector’s eyes… hubba, hubba
i’m a fan of this song, and i do a pretty good imitation of it, as well… i also shot the photos for the album–i’ll share those after the album comes out. in the meantime, enjoy the video:
