Another trapalicious banger from Baltimore County's Don Demenace, but this one is a bit different than "Snapchat Thot". Where the latter song has a repetitive, Migos-type of swag, "Own It" (featuring Baltimore City's 410Zo) has the swift-sounding autotune drenched vocals of a typical chart topping hit. The lyrics of these two Maryland MC's however, are deeply rooted in the essence of hip-hop. Don's lyrical prowess is demonstrated with multiple rhyme sequences that are displayed throughout his entire contribution to the song. Even with the hook, lines like: "shots to my opponents" rhyme perfectly with: "pop it so I'm rollin'". Don's damaging verse is full of braggadocios swag, while also inserting a nerdy and conscious message not unlike Maryland's own Logic. 410Zo kills the second verse with quick punch lines, subliminal shots, and a serious flow in his Baltimore accent. The beat for "Own It" is off the chain too. It is unclear who the producer is, but whoever it is gets the job done. Check it out now and put your friends on to this new fire from the home of The Wire.

Good music is hard to find nowadays, and even harder to make. The Artist and The Industry is the latest release from Baltimore, MD MC, Don Demenace. Everything from the skits to the album cover display an artist confined by the chains of the music industry. In The Artist and The Industry, Don struggles with being pulled towards the commercial sound of the industry, while trying to appease his artistic side and make groundbreaking music. The Artist and The Industry not only has a little something for everyone, but it is a complete album featuring popular East Coast sounds ("Brandon Bitch", "Flacco Brandon"), underground hip-hop flavor ("Run Away", "Electrick Funeral", and some experimental horrorcore ("Kill Kids") dashed in. Download The Artist and The Industry now to decide for yourself. Which side would you chose? The Artist or The Industry?
