[Marquis Gasque] My name is Marquis Gasque.
I go by the name Mighty Mark and I'm a producer
here in Baltimore, mostly known for Baltimore club music,
but I do hip hop and do all style.
I get my hair cut pretty often,
it's like, when you meet people, you got that fresh cut,
it just gives off, like, a fresh appearance.
Nice, clean cut.
I always come to my man Cutty in South Baltimore
to make sure it's nice and fresh.
It's been about a year, in January last year,
we opened up the Gold Room Music of Media Studio.
In addition to being a typical recording place
for artists to come record, I wanted it to be like a creative hub.

[Neek B'Chillin] I go by the name Neek B'Chillin
CEO of BMore Than Dance.
BMore Than Dance is network where we basically
see the talent of the youth here in our city
as well as the DMV area.
We help them nurture their talent.
Teach them how to make residual income
off of utilizing their talent and skills.
Me personally, I always looked at myself as being blessed.
I was born in the Uplands projects,
that was were my father's first home was.
My father, he spent his years in the streets.
And around the time I got to high school
was when God blessed us to be able
to move to Baltimore County.
I was always book smart.
I was always in trouble because of my attitude,
my temper, fighting and things of that nature in school.
My parents was a little bit more strict
so I always had to, you know, sneak off to the homies' houses
if I wanted to be out partying on the weekends.
A good friend of mine, we used to call him BG,
he would always have the brand new Swift mix tape.
Whenever it dropped, he always had it.
It was like his priority in life,
he made sure he grabbed it.
That was where I was first, kinda, like, introduced
to the whole concept of dancing.
We would, you know, bump the CD in the house
and he opened my eyes to the Baltimore club culture.

[TT the Artist] There's a lot of talent in this city.
However, limited resources and creative space
make it difficult for artists to gain exposure
and sustain ourselves in our creative practices.
I've been in Baltimore for about 12 years
and it's become my home.
But I decided I would relocate to Los Angeles
and launch my own record label, Club Queen Records.
Baltimore's beautiful and creative scene
has inspired me in so many ways.
But I can't help but feel like there's so much more
waiting for me and my musical journey.

[man] Baltimore is a diverse city.
It has it's issues like any other major city.
Racism, drugs, poverty, inequalities
as far as education and jobs and things like that,
but it also has a lot of positive things going on.
Everywhere that I've visited, if you would say
you was from Baltimore, they just have
a general stigmatation of you
like you're automatically violent
or you're a drug dealer.
Some of us that's worried about our kids,
or whatever, we have to make sure
they on the right path.
They need to, like, open up, you know, recs,
all those centers for the kids
'cause they don't have them anymore here.
So that's why you see a lot of young kids
out there now hustling, stealing, everything.
[man 2] I been here all my life.
It's a great place.
Next to the market, down to the harbor,
everything is good.
But if you grew up in the hood, a whole lot of drama.
[man 1] Every state has what they known for
and all that kind of stuff and Baltimore is known
specifically for club music.
Upbeat tempo music that your grandmamma can dance to,
your grandmamma can know the words,
little kids can know the words and anybody between.
[man 2] I love the music, I love all y'all.
I got my little nieces and nephews
and all of them looking up to me.
I'm a role model to them.
[man 1] I'm proud, you know, to be from Baltimore and,
I would tell anybody that I can visit they town,
but there's no place like Baltimore.

[Terry] I grew up without a mother and a father.
My grandmother raised me.
I was getting in a lot of fights.
Personal problems that I go through,
like family issues or other things,
dance means a lot to the community
because it keeps us occupied.
It keeps us out of trouble.
[man 3] See we used to dance at the harbor.
Like we were one of the biggest tourist attractions.
Everything is just shutting down now.
[Terry] We need resources and we need spaces.
Some of the kids I actually watch grow up

[Neek B'Chillin] We're currently at Sisters Saving the City
which is a youth recovery center in Baltimore, Maryland.
In Baltimore, everything is dealt with hostile.
Throughout Baltimore we meet a lot of kids
who are very passionate but don't have any direction.
Something about the kids remind you of
just how pure and genuine everything is.
Ayonna came in, I thought she was,
just gonna be another young lady that we taught.
But then you start to see there's
special things about them.
You start to see how they cling to you
because you're like the father figure that they never had.
They go from being strangers,
to practically being family members.
[Ayonna] My name is Ayonna and I go by the name of Yona Baby.
I like working with BMore Than Dance
because dancing makes me feel like I have talent.
It helps me travel lots of places
and it makes me feel like I can get noticed
by a lot of people.
My dreams are to be a dance teacher and teach other kids.
The heroin epidemic hit Baltimore extremely hard.
We were living in a place of turmoil
without many outlets whatsoever.
Once our kids hit about that, that 17, 18-year-old age
they're kinda looking around like what's next?
[tribal electronic dance beat]
The Queen of Baltimore event is one of the most
difficult, pure, talent test possible.
You don't get too many situations
where you're being requested not only to perform,
but to prove in a battle format that
you're better than everybody, it takes a lot of heart.
Young ladies here, once they reach that,
that age where, you know, life really starts to kick in,
we tend to lose the lady talent faster than the guys.
The judges themselves look specifically for
the dancers to not only utilize
the basics of Baltimore Club, but also to show evolution
to the point that nothing looks repetitive.
You also have to have that crowd winning charisma
because if the crowd isn't really responding to you,
you know, you really don't give them what they need
to crown you queen.

[Neek B'Chillin] Baltimore is a very artistic city.
These kids are the product of a generation
that was trying to uplift this city through music and art.
King of Baltimore competition was the goal
to put the very best of the best dancers in this culture
against each other in one night.
No longer giving anybody the chance
to just walk around claiming to be the best,
proving that they were the best.
That was the ultimate goal for King of Baltimore.
We started off with a $500 cash prize,
maybe 20 dancers who signed up.
This year we had about 40, 45 guys.
So they come in double the numbers,
which means the odds of making it in is twice as hard.
So you really have to be special.
There's no event like it.
The perfect venue must hold at least 1,000 people.
A nice stage presence, high off the ground,
whether they use the stage is a different story. [chuckles]
I don't know what it is, but for some reason
we get these amazing stages and they just want the DJ
to be on stage while they're in the floor.
But it kinda goes back to the original setting
of how this club scene worked.
They're used to being in big circles,
rather than stage performances.
A little bit of everything is done the day before.
Closing tickets sales, helping people
find transportation, set up, sound.
Traditionally we like to do a walk through
just so that we can visualize it again.
In Baltimore, there aren't too many venues left
where we can go and have these dance events.
Baltimore is one of the most artistic cities
that's not being heard.
Our artists are experiencing real life.
There's nothing more raw than living
in the streets of Baltimore.

[Gasque] I'm Malcolm Gasque, they know me by Noodles,
Mighty Mark little brother. I took the different route,
I played football.
Our situations was different like,
when I first started playing football,
my mother couldn't afford to buy me a new pair of cleats.
So I used to wear two different pair of cleats.
But I use it as motivation every single day.
I grind for my neighborhood where I come from.
I grind for Cherry Hill, I grind for the whole Baltimore.
The kids in Baltimore.
I grind for my brother, it's not all about just seeing
people slanging drugs on the corner all the time.
They need to see somebody that make out of Baltimore,
come back to Baltimore and show love to them.
[man 4] Looking at everybody standing around, like,
that's all you see out here.
He seen something in me that like,
people wouldn't point out that I had in me.
They was just letting me drown for real.
Now that I'm a truck driver, I've been in every state.
Been in Cali so many times, I like coming back to tell people
what I saw coz they won't never see that.
A palm tree, you feel me, I ain't never seen a palm tree
till I got over there.
So I just put on for my hood,
-Cherry Hill. -Cherry Hill projects.
I ain't know nothing else. I seen my little man's burner,
or Burnie B, he's 14 years old.
I just, I just walked away.
I did that a lot.
I just walked away, as soon as I get down the street,
you hear gunshots.
He laid out in the house dead.
My little cousin Ry Ry, he looked up to Me.
He played football, he looked up to me, so I wear the number four
for him, that was his football number.
But he got killed over West Baltimore, that really like,
made me look at life different, like he's like 16 year old,
17 years old and get his life took at that young age like that.
[man 5] We fought on this street.
We became men on this street.
I started making club music on this street.
I used to make my club music and then burn it
and take it out to the neighborhood, hand out the CDs
to the kids, they'd tell me what songs they like.
We used to have speakers on the porches and just play
club music and listen to the radio.
Go up to the street to the recreation center.
Boy, we used to do all that in Cherry hill.
[uplifting music]

[DJ Diamond K] Tony Style as a MC
set the blueprints here in Baltimore.
He was one of the first people that I know
that was talking on the mic.
He did it in the party and then eventually
they put those routines on records.

My name is Blaqstarr, I'm a producer, DJ, artist.
What a black star does, it sucks up a planet
and then a planet like loses like sense of time and space.
Next thing you know it regurgitates it.
And then the planet forget about that.
That time it was in the black star, but it comes out evolved.
I started to realize how that name
was like universally given to me.
I was 16 at the time.
I just remember myself smiling on the mic,
and I cut all the lights off in my mamma basement.
And I was actually holding an unloaded gun
in my hand at the time and shit.
I remember taking a sample and the sample was from a record.
And it was like... ♪ I told it, told it ♪
♪ I ain't never scared I ain't never scared ♪
You know what I'm saying, so I took the actual "told it" part.
'Cause that was the best part of the song to me
and I just broke it down and I had that on loop.
♪ Told it, told it, told it, told it ♪
♪ Yeah hoe ♪
♪ Yeah hoe Told y'all I tote it ♪
♪ Put the bullet in the Glock And blow that bitch ♪
♪ Told y'all I tote it Put the bullet ♪
♪ In the Glock and blow it ♪
♪ Told y'all I tote it Put the bullet in the glock ♪
♪ And blow that bitch ♪
I just wanted to keep that, the main source,
that "told it" part so I just kept it simple with a 808,
dom do do dom do do dom do dom dom.
Although I was working with basic
and minimal materials at the time, it was like,
I saw movies in my head like...
I didn't start off in the clubs.
I started off at like the halls and like house parties.
Back in the day I never really knew
how to approach the radio station
or get my stuff played on the radio.
I wasn't even really interested in it, right.
I definitely pushed the envelope.
My music almost felt like it came from a different world,
like it was the birth of something.
That right there inspired me to keep going
because it was like a whole new audience that was
comfortable with like, you know,
expressing themselves through club music.
So it was like I spoke for them.
[soft organ music]
[woman] I was new to Baltimore when things started for me.
And I went to attend art school
at the Maryland Institute College of Art.
I was looked at as an outsider.
I got a lot of hate for a lot of the things
that I was doing and at first
I didn't understand it because I only wanted to do good.
I moved to LA because I wanted
to create a connection between the two worlds.
People should be able to come to Baltimore
and hire Baltimore talent.
But if no one really knows whats going on here,
how can they?

[TT the Artist] I decided to start a label, Club Queen Records.
And our focus is putting records out by women,
specifically women of color.
The label's name was inspired by DJ K-Swift
who was known as the original Club Queen.
She had a real presence and that was the presence
that I always felt I had and that was a presence
that inspired me to wanna do music.
It was the idea of being a woman of color
who was respected for her talent, her gifts, her voice,
take something like Baltimore Club across the world
or have people interested in getting
a taste of this culture.
People don't want to see a black woman win.
Like they want you to be good,
but they don't want you to be better than them.
I've had to defend myself in so many situations
where normally men would never had to defend themselves.
In the long run, it earned me my respect.
Club Queen records is going to pave the way
for a lot of new female artists.
I'm happy to finally be in a position
where I'm able to share my platform
and not just create music for myself,
but hop in the producer chair
and create music for other artists that
were once in the same place that I was.

I just wanna compete against all the big people, you feel me?
'Cause it's said if you battle the big and tough people,
then that makes you nice at it.
[man 7] Just trying to be as humble as I can be.
I just feel as though, like, this is my time like,
I've probably taken off like two and a half years
of just compete and pray as far as, you know,
just being around in the scene.
And I've been watching, you know, and it's like, it's cool.
Like, I like the, I like the development
going on right now, but it's just like,
I'm still here, I have a point to prove, I mean,
that's just how it is with me.
I need it. [chuckles] Simple and plain.

[man on stage] A moment of silence for DJ K-Swift.
This moment is also a representation for the Queen,
Fatgirl aka Suzie Mack.
[crowd cheers and claps]
[Neek B'Chillin] K-Swift was our Jordan.
K-Swift was the one that literally showed us
that this was just not for us to keep locally.
She kicked the door down.
She was handed the tools to reach the masses
and there was something special about her voice
that people wanted to listen.
That was power, as far as kicking down the door,
that was Swift.

This year, King of Baltimore reached all types of new levels.
Queen of Baltimore, however, could never get to that spotlight
phase that King of Baltimore did, you know.
There's so many more guys involved.
Fatgirl was a game changer.
Fatgirl, her heart had no limit.
I crowned Fatgirl Queen of Baltimore
almost eight years ago.
And to this day, while we have crowned many queens since,
there has to been an impact such as hers.
I'm not trynna take away from anybody else
that's standing here on this stage,
but the tragic loss of Susie Mack
is one that makes us all need to understand
we have to come together, 'cause we are all we have.
[crowd claps]
Her mother, Ms. Tanya, this woman,
was coming out of her own pocket.
She was opening her doors.
She is the mother of an entire generation
for this Baltimore club scene.
Please make some noise for the one, the only, Fatgirl.
Her legacy, God knows she was taken way too early.
Maybe this generation needed some form of guardian angel
because just her name changes everything in this culture.
[somber piano music]
[wind blows]
[woman 2] If they won't accept it, somebody will accept it.
Sooner or later, somebody will accept us.
If you see us perform and that's against other people,
you will know why we called Homicide.
We be killing people out here, like actually killing them
for no reason.
So we take you right here in the parking lot
and we just go at it.

which is happening tomorrow, Certified presents
Club Queen Records, TT the Artist.
Filmmaker, curator, overall just amazing.
What is it about club music to you
that makes it so special?
Baltimore being a city known for high trauma,
crime, drugs and I just think that
this is something that's a really positive thing
and I also feel that a lot of talent
is in Baltimore that doesn't get seen.
So I just wanted to offer a window to the outside world
to show you what artists in Baltimore look like.
Show you what music from Baltimore sounds like
and show you what culture from Baltimore feels like.

[Terry] I been to New York, Seattle, LA, Virginia.
Every time I leave Baltimore and I'm in a different state,
I am Baltimore, I represent Baltimore.
I have a young son, he'll sit there and watch me dance.
I know that he's paying attention and he has definitely
some interests in doing dancing
or being a dancer when he grow up.
[upbeat club music]
We world wide, I just feel like people need to see the faces
because they know the music, they know the dance.
Those faces taught them that we do have a story.
[Neek B'Chillin] A lot of the outside looking in
tends to only focus on the negative side.
I see us taking over
our schools within the next few years.
Meeting the younger kids, kinda shows you that there's hope
in a place that's losing hope.
There's individuals out here who are changing the world
and because they don't know how to write a grant letter,
or because they don't have someone on their team
who sits back and finds grants all day long
then they are shit out of luck.
And the funding they need to change their lives
that they have.
Whether it's for me to obtain a career
or just as a learning tool to teach the next generation.
I think that's one of the most exciting,
parts of this subdivision of hip hop that we've created.
People ask me, hey what do you do?
I can summarize it in one sentence,
I change lives.
Do you?
