I've done this twice before, and I'm gonna doing this, giving you the music you've been hearing on HBO's The Wire this season. These two songs appear in the first scene of episode 47, airing tonight at 10:

Tyree Colion - "My Projects" (mp3)
This Darkroom-produced track is from Tyree's great triple CD mixtape that's been sadly unheard, since Tyree got locked up around the time it was about to drop. Kind of a shame that when he's got a song being heard on national television, he's in the middle of serving a four year sentence. Free Colion!

Dirty Hartz f/ Mullyman - "That's Da Sound" (mp3)
This is probably my favorite single that anyone from Baltimore has dropped in the past year, so I'm hyped about it getting prominent placement in the show. It only got a moderate amount of airplay from 92Q, but it appeared on a ton of mixtapes by DH, Mully, DNA and C Love. They yell "aaayyyeeerrrppp!!" in the hook, and after Bossman's "A-Yo" came out a while back Verb got heated and did a freestyle at 5 Seasons about how it was a bite, but really people have been saying "ayo" in Baltimore forever (hell, you can hear Omar saying it in the first season of The Wire), noone can really take credit for it. But anyway, great song, produced by Debonair Samir, I'm still wondering what's up with that Baltimore Club Crack compilation, which this song also appears on. Buy DH's mixtapes on MySpace.
