TT THE ARTIST HEADLINES NEW NEXT FILM FEST 2023
Late last year, the Maryland Film Festival announced they would be going on hiatus in 2023, leaving Baltimore without a major film festival for the first time in almost 25 years.
Fortunately, our sister station WYPR was able to gather enough grant money and community support to step in and fill the gap.
The New/Next Film Festival, presented by WYPR, will bring 50 Maryland premieres (20 features and 30 shorts) to The Charles Theatre Aug. 18-20 – along with opening and closing night parties at The Metro Gallery and more!
A limited number of All-Access Passes are available now. They provide access to all New/Next screenings; an advance window for film and seat selection ahead of public ticketing; and attendance to all New/Next special events, including the Opening and Closing Night parties and concerts.
The Opening Night Party will include performances by stars of Baltimore’s club and hip-hop scenes, TT the Artist and Dapper Dan Midas.

HELP MY STEP DAD FIGHT CANCER
I recently found out that my step dad who is my mother’s best friend and life partner has been diagnosed with stage 4 prostate cancer. As you know, undergoing cancer treatments are expensive, so my mother and step dad have decided to go public in hopes to raise additional funds for his treatment.
You can support by sharing the link below, sending any resources or information for grants that support cancer patients, or by making a donation. Any support and positive words are appreciated!

BIG DIPPER DELIVERS SUMMER COOKOUT FUN WITH TT THE ARTIST IN HAM AND CHEESE
Rapper and Moguls Of Media podcast super-producer Big Dipper serves up one juicy comeback with the new song “Ham And Cheese”—and a delicious music video to boot.
“Ham And Cheese” marks the Sloppy Seconds host’s first taste of new music since “Back Up Off Me” in 2020, and we’re pleased to report he’s spitting hot fire on this sizzling sandwich of a dance track.
As the party moves from the refrigerator to a picnic in the park, Dipper is joined by TT The Artist for a fiery guest verse, dropping bars from the inside of a baseball mitt. On collaborating with TT, Dipper says the rapper “sounds amazing on any track she works on, and she was so down to play around with this wacky idea we had for the video!”
