Baltimore is for Artists

Rob Lee from the mighty, MTR Podcasts, is here to highlight Baltimore artists.

This podcast is an opportunity to authentically highlight Baltimore artists – getting to the truth in this art.

In this new episode, Rob Lee welcomes, Eze Jackson.. Eze as a talented rapper from Baltimore and the frontman of the band Soul Cannon. At the time of this recording, Eze’s latest project, Fool, just dropped but Eze didn’t come on the show to only talk about the project he had a lot to say about activism, Baltimore vs. DMV and an “orange bitch” taking ill of Charm City. Eze was there for all of the smoke.

He’s No Fool

Eze is not just a rapper. He’s an activist, journalist and versatile artist with a self-awareness and mindfulness that many artists conceal. He’s an open guy. The new project, Fool, really gets into experiences from trauma to triumph that he’s encountered.

On of the biggest observations taken from the interview with Eze Jackson is he’s aware. Not woke but aware, there’s an authenticity and certainty in his awareness. There’s realism and passion, insight and understanding. Mostly there’s love coming from Eze – love for people, love for Baltimore and love for art.

Listen to our first episode where, Rob Lee interviews DJ James Nasty.

Baltimore is for Artists

Rob Lee from the mighty, MTR Podcasts, is here to highlight Baltimore artists.

This podcast is an opportunity to authentically highlight Baltimore artists – getting to the truth in this art.

In this inaugural episode, Rob Lee welcomes, DJ James Nasty – Dr. Nasty or Mr. Nasty if you’re nasty – to the studio for an interview.  This podcast is not a typical – tell me about your art, your process and so on – those types of interviews can be interesting but they’re soft. This interview is not that.

Give the DJ Some

DJ James Nasty is a club music producer/DJ from Baltimore, Maryland and he makes sauce! He makes his own hot sauce. DJ James Nasty has been in Baltimore for over 20 years and is ingrained in the fabric of the Baltimore music scene. James gets it – he’s a true local artist. He’s a real DJ and producer.

In the interview, James breaks down his days to day life. James covers his early morning periods of inspiration, prioritizing producing beats and making sauce and his experiences in the music business. In addition, James discusses his feelings on embracing one’s art while being business-minded. Also, James breaks down the predatory nature of the music business and the multitude of ways artists can make money, how the music scene in Baltimore tends to rebel against structure and his thoughts on local venues.

Later, James speaks on respecting the art of a DJ – without hating on the hustle, but the craft of becoming a DJ takes time and money. Never forget Rodney Dangerfield has a rap album.

Check out this great interview and check out DJ James Nasty in and around Baltimore and at Holy Frijoles on Sunday nights.
