Baltimore & Washington DC Underground Volume 1 (1992-2005)

Here I am again bringing y'all back to the beginning of another series. This volume 1 of 18 Baltimore/Washington Dc compilations I've done. Why include both cities in one mix? Baltimore and Washington Dc are the odd couple. Fiercely competitive, musically eclectic, eternally underground, Charm City and 'The District' have long been unrecognized hotbeds for independent hip hop....

What ?

Yes, hip hop. While Baltimore is mostly known for house music, and Dc for go-go, there was and still is a prolific scene in the area.
