Local hip-hop go-to

Without a doubt, the best Baltimore hip-hop, club and R&B blog is Government Names.

It's run primarily by Al Shipley, who also writes for the City Paper.

Shipley posts album reviews, show fliers (like the one pictured at right), songs and all kinds of artist/industry gossip.

If you're looking to get into the local scene, Government Names is the place to start.

About Sam Sessa

I've been The Baltimore Sun's nightlife and local entertainment reporter for a couple years, and it's surprising how much the scene has grown in that time. Most of Baltimore's bars and clubs are unpretentious places with fairly cheap drinks and plenty of character. I like dancing and think this city needs more clubs, but nothing beats having a cold, locally brewed beer with friends in a comfortably full corner bar.
