NOISEY PREMIERE X TT THE ARTIST BXRTHDAY EP

Screen Shot 2017-03-01 at 1.05.32 PM.png

The club artist uses sounds from Baltimore and Jersey for a fun-filled project.

With the release of her debut album Queen of the Beat last year, TT The Artist has the biggest year of her career. The self-proclaimed new Baltimore Club Queen's 2015 tracks "Lavish" and "Thug it Out" appeared on HBO's hit show Insecure. "Dance to My Beat," a collaboration with French producer Hervè, appeared in an NBA commercial. TT has no plans of letting that momentum fade for 2017, either.

OPEN LETTER FROM TT The Artist

After self funding my music video tour across the country. I see that if I really set out to do something and put the energy out into the universe...God will align the stars. This was no easy tasks and I poured ever bit of my resources into it. I came out strong and more inspired than ever to press forward with my other creative endeavors that have been in the incubator.

My next tasks will be to complete a film I set out to do 6 years ago #DarkCity: Beneath The Beat the rebirth stay tune. Working hard to put Baltimore club culture narrative on the big screen. I have partnered up with an amazing film crew and it's going down in the 410.

If you know of any grants or corporate companies that support funding for films that highlight the arts, women or black filmmakers please drop me an email ttsart@gmail.com or dm me.

Much love to all the people who supported this start up project 6 years ago. I wanted to come back and do Baltimore right and show the world the beauty beneath the beat from this bubbling city!

Stay tune.

THUMP MUSIC PREMIERE X TT THE ARTIST 'SAY YEAH'

Baltimore scene stalwarts TT The Artist and Mighty Mark have shared "Say Yeah," an infectious new collaboration off the forthcoming Street Bangers Factory, Vol. 6 compilation on London imprint Moveltraxx. Put together from a Miami bass template and lyrically shouting out just every possible listener—whether they're late on their rent, need a drink, or look like Beyoncé—the track is a no-holds-barred celebration of the kind of carefree empowerment most commonly found on crowded dancefloors.

TT The Artist gave THUMP some backstory for her creative process via email. "I was inspired by a 'call and response'-style delivery when I wrote 'Say Yeah,'" she said. "I wanted to make a song that people of all backgrounds could relate and sing along to."

BALTIMORE MAGAZINE X TT THE ARTIST MUSIC REVIEWS 2017

Screen Shot 2017-01-11 at 12.52.21 PM.png

TT The Artist

Queen of the Beat (self-released)

The Queen Bee of Baltimore party music has been blowing up, from her 2015 “Lavish” track being featured on HBO’s new series, Insecure, to her “F Trump” single with DJ Mighty Mark making it to the top of Spotify’s United States Viral 50 (beating out The Weeknd!). Now, after two strong releases and a handful of infectious hits, the 32-year-old MICA alum has dropped her aptly named debut. Across 22 tracks, she lays an addictive foundation of breakneck Bmore Club beats, heavy hip-hop bass, and hints of EDM and house, then slays with fierce lyrics ranging from witty, energetic spits to thoughtful ruminations. Simply put, TT is pure fire, and on this robust record, she establishes herself as an artist to notice on the national stage. Cover art by Nicole Fallek

MASS APPEAL X TT THE ARTIST X SNAPPY JIT X THUNDERBIRD JUICEBOX X MIGHTY MARK X DIG BALTIMORE CLUB REMIX

While the world is getting caught up in the #MannequinChallenge, Baltimore is busy having a party all to itself. Lucky for the rest of us, TT The Artist is sharing a part of that function with her track “Dig”–in particular, the dance craze started by the dance crew TSU. Seeing others like Kaelynn Harris and Cortland inspired her to do more with the song.

The original track, produced by Snappy Jit, leans more towards EDM but the remix from Thunderbird Juicebox and Mighty Mark is a flurry of bigger bass and colorful synths.

TT is also working on a music video tour for “Dig.” Starting a month ago, she started working with dancers from eight cities to showcase various street style dances derivative from each region. She’s about halfway through the tour. She’s hit Atlanta, LA, Baltimore, and New York. New Jersey, New Orleans, Miami, and her hometown Fort Lauderdale are what’s left. She’s worked with Tommy The Clown and SayQuon Keys so far. You can support her on this tour by purchasing the remix on iTunes and watch what she has so far above.

TT had this to say about the remix to us via email:

“One of the great things about creating dance music is it’s universal appeal. ‘Dig’ is one of those songs that can get anyone out of their seat and dancing. As an independent artist one of my goals is to continue to push creativity and collaboration so I decided to put together a music video tour where I would travel to major cities and create a platform that would highlight various street dance cultures from Baltimore club footwork to Los Angeles krumping. This tour has also enabled me to connect and build with new fans my music on a more personal level than I have ever experienced before!”

CITY PAPER X MIGHTY MARK X TT THE ARTIST X F* TRUMP MUSIC VIDEO

TT The Artist and Mighty Mark today released a video for their Baltimore Club banger 'F* Trump'—the words "Fuck Donald Trump" make up, like, half the lyrics—and it got us thinking about some of the other great songs Baltimore musicians have made in protest against the hateful, fascist whack job accused of sexual assault who an alarming amount of people think is fit to be president. Like a lot of Americans, we're looking forward to this whole thing being over but also feeling a bit anxious about a Trump win. So here are some songs to get you hyped before you head to the polls to not vote for that dickbag.

MASS APPEAL X MIGHTY MARK REAL EP PREMIERE FT. TT THE ARTIST X BLAQSTARR AND MORE

Baltimore is a troubled city to say the least. News from the Maryland city largely goes under the radar due to attention focused on Chicago, Compton, and other cities from mainstream media. It’s no surprise that music has been, by and large, a healthy distraction for Baltimore residents from poverty, failing schools, and crime. We’ve seen it with the rise of Tate Kobang in the Boiler Room documentary. But we’re here to take you a step deeper into the local scene with the bubbling Mighty Mark.

The DJ and producer is keeping the Baltimore Club music scene beyond alive and well. We’re more than proud to present his latest EP, Real, today with features from Blaqstarr, TT the Artist, and more. The first four tracks are healthy doses of bass and wild energy for your next house party, with moments of serenity towards the end of each. Then for the final track, Mighty Mark takes the characteristic bass line of BMore Club and carefully places an acoustic guitar line over it for an intriguing juxtaposition of styles.
