The Best Of Both Worlds, part 4: DJ Ron Rico
A more detailed examination of the music discussed in my Baltimore City Paper article about the crossover between Baltimore club music and hip hop.

DJ Ron Rico aka Reazons is one of the guys that I talked to for this article, and I wanted to get his opinion because he's kind of the exception to the rule, a club producer whose hip hop productions are pure sample-driven old school hip hop. Shout out to him for the interview.

DJ Ron Rico f/ Mike Malachi - “4 The Love Hip Hop Music" (mp3)
This is the one song on Malachi's Way that Ron Rico himself raps on. I'm looking forward to his remix album, too.

DJ Ron Rico - "Here Comes The Pain" (mp3)
Here's one of his more recent club hits, with some crazy Carlito's Way samples.
