ordsmith “The Revolution Begins with a Takeover” Vol. 2 Mixtape. Music is pretty stale at the moment, so Word seeks to bring a wide variety of Hip-Hop to the world with his revolution mixtapes. With this being the last in the series, up and coming artists like Skyzoo, Donny Goines, Geolani, & Trel Mack flexed there lyrical skills on tracks like “Bar-Bells” and “Nobody Cares.” Nu Revolution Camp artists Kontact & Black Knight lend their talents to tracks like “Breakfast at the Brightside Diner” & “The Way U Are,” while Baltimore MC’s Soulstice, Skarr Akhbar, Greenspan, Steadfast, Reggie Webb, E-Major, Pro & Reg, Tha Profitt, Tislem the Great, & Sly Solomon form a traveling band called “The B-More Baritones.” Camp producers Professa, Strada, Capish, & Street Level Most of the production was done by Nu Revolution with outside help from Lucki Handz, RhymeZwell, & Asesay.

As a final thanks to the fans, Wordsmith included a Music Video for his 1st single, “Park & Ride-The Sunset Edition (Directed by G-Light Films)” off his debut album. “Vintage Material” dropping in 2009.

Look for Wordsmith to finish 2008 with “The 2008 Worldwide Web Wrap-Up” Mixtape, while 2009 will bring debut projects for Chubb Rock and Wordsmith’s “Bridging the Gap” Album and Wordsmith & I.N.C The Poets “A Baltimore Martini” UK Album!!
