Shaun B, Wordsmith, and myself finally coordinated our schedules and were able to head out together to one of the swankiest and trendiest spots in Baltimore: Red Maple.

In the minds of the Baltimore elite, Red Maple is a hot spot for fusion cuisine. But during the week, they host a hip hop party called “Always Dope” sponsored by local boutiquer PedX. This was my first opportunity to meet Pedx owner Garth and check out the spot. I was pleased on both accounts. The DJs played a great set of classic hip hop, house, techno. They even had a few emcees jump on the mic and rock the crowd. Garth himself is an even-minded promoter with a drive for success. For such a small and intimate venue, pulling in 60 people on a week night is quite an accomplishment. And they do it weekly.

Wordsmith will actually be performing at Red Maple – Always Dope on February 2nd. So clear your schedule and come out and support the Baltimore hip hop community!

On another note, I visited PedX at their shop location on Aliceanna Street in Bmore a few weeks back. If you get the opportunity, visit these guys, support them, and tell them Vintage Limited sent you. I found stuff in the shop that was priced under what the actual labels price their stuff for on their own websites. And if you’re into street fashion like we are, they have a fantastic selection for the brand conscious.
