Last week I photographed Baltimore rapper, Abdu Ali Eaton at his home in Baltimore, MD. I’ve been wanting to work with him after I heard his album on soundcloud. His music is a mix of energetic raps with club beats produced by Schwarz. It’s Baltimore music through and through. For the past five years I’ve been photographing the hip-hop scene and if there is a time for this city to make a national mark, its now. There is wave of fresh, young artists coming out with music full of personality, focusing on experimentation and developing a personal sound rather than going with a pop sound.
You can download Abdu’s November release, Invictos, here.
