Say-Wut - Club Chronicles: Level 1 (Horsemen Ent.)

Say-Wut, also known as Nigga Say What or NSW, is one of the most popular Baltimore club producers of the past couple years, one of the guys, alongside Blaq Starr, who's really defined the current sound of club music as you'll hear it on 92Q or at clubs like Paradox. I featured him in my Best of Both Worlds series last year, and he's produced rap tracks for Huli Shallone and A-Maz-On. He used to be a part of DJ Diamond K's group Da Horsemen, but has since spun that off into his own company, Horsement Entertainment, and they've been doing a whole bunch of shows at the 5 Seasons lately, including a couple upcoming events on the 17th and the 23rd. This is his latest mix, and is about half exclusive tracks by himself and a couple of other producers I really dig, DJ Twikks & Mic Marvelous, and the other half is the usual hits from Rod Lee and Blaq Starr and K.W. Griff and others. The mix on here isn't super tight with the transitions, but it sounds good and has a ton of great tracks.

Say-Wut - "Crazy Cris" (mp3)
This is the last track on the CD, and one of the only songs that goes over 2 minutes. One of my favorites, nice kinda melodic bassline with that little whistle-synth riff.
