Check it out and stay tuned for the party's next installment!

During FLAT OUT, our people from Time Spent captured live footage of the show and managed to squeeze in a few acts for their series of a capella rap sessions. Before everything got going, they linked up with D.R.A.M. for the most soulful segment they've ever got on tape as he strolled through The Crown harmonizing. Peep the footage above!

True Laurels Presents: FLAT OUT

Back in July, we started FLAT OUT--a party and show in Baltimore dedicated to showcasing artists that use rap as a foundation, while embracing the genre’s boundless trajectory where electronic and punk have began expanding its soundscape. FLAT OUT is about bringing dynamic underground musical and visual artists together to exhibit their unique talent while ignoring the pretense and remnants of the old guard that heavily cloud the game today. 

We're excited to announce the second party's lineup, which spans from experimental, to street rap to Baltimore Club! Saturday, October 25th we'll be at The Crown's Blue Room (1910 N. Charles St.) presenting Hampton Virginia's D.R.A.M., NYC's SADAF, and three artists from Baltimore: club producer, DJ Dizzy, rapper Greedy and DJ/producer, Potionz! Visuals and live coverage will be provided by Time Spent! Flier by Antonina Clarke.

Premiere: Time Spent Featuring Cunt Mafia

TIMESPENT WITH CUNT MAFIA

Time Spent has carefully showcased underground rap artists in Virginia, Baltimore and NYC through nostalgic VHS recordings of a cappella rap sessions. Their work has spanned from Mykki Blanco, to Abdu Ali, to Little Pain and most recently they hooked up with Cunt Mafia—a collective staple of New York's alternative underground. The video is set in the group's resident club on Friday nights—The Flat, in Brooklyn—and feature members Quay Dash and Count Contessa exude style, confidence and color, as they usually do, spitting deep-cutting, brash boom-bap flows. With the setting and pure New York style, it's reminiscent of Smack DVD freestyles (like this). Peep the video above.
