Over the weekend, I hit the Lyrical Warfare rap showcase in Baltimore. The show was tight; a good deal of acts on the bill were people I've never heard of, the crowd was engaged and, mostly, things seemed to be running smoothly. The space was ill and I chopped it with a few artists I'd just learned about that night. Peep the photos I took. Above is Al Rogers and from there: Butch Dawson, Phizzles, Organic Geniuses, Flaco Escobar, Lonnie Moore, Go DDM, Chynna Rogers, Tootie Ro and 83 Cutlass.
