definitely took me back with a couple of these... I remember seeing X downtown when I was in high school at Poly and used to flip my MTA vouchers to ride the Light Rail down near City Hall. From interviewing him a few years ago, I can tell you that he's at least aware of Baltimore club music; at the time, there might have been 1-2 tracks sampling his vocals, and he knew about joints like "Alcoholics..." and stuff...

Good looks on this page; been checking it for a while to keep up with the bubbling local scene back home while I'm up in Boston for grad school... looking forward to your upcoming posts; in addition to Lil' Jon samples, I think a one-off of some of the bigger club tracks referencing Motown samples would be a great theme as well...
