Baltimore’s hip hop scene was in rare form last week, when we attended Inception: 2014, a very special show at For Rent Shoes featuring some of our favorite musical acts, not just in hip hop but in Baltimore. The headliner, Blaqstarr, has a new EP coming out on Saturday which will be available on his site here. The talented Leigh Ann Josephine took some awesome pictures for us.
