This week in the City Paper, I have a big feature on Big Kuntré and Mike Milz, also known as Stay Gettin' Productions. I'm not really gonna say too much, because you can read the article, and you can check out their MySpace page and a list of all their productions that I put together below, which features a few mp3's. Even if you don't know the name you probably know at least a couple tracks they've done. I know that some folks are salty about Young Leek getting a deal when there are still so many overlooked MCs in Baltimore, but SGE are good dudes and veterans of Bmore hip hop themselves, and if their project does well then it's definitely gonna open doors for the city. They produced almost the whole Young Leek album aside from "Jiggle It," and the tracks that have been released so far, "Check" and "One Million" are pretty good, and there's a video of Leek and Kuntré performing "One Million" on YouTube. Anyway, check the resume:
