About this item

Highly anticipated release from Baltimore Club champion Al Ripken Jr, one of the hottest up-and-coming club producers from Bawlmore County who made his first appearance on the "Heavyhittaz" EP alongside club heavyweight Curtis Vodka. Across three re-rub mixes and three all new original tracks, Al puts his own unique spin on the B-more Club genre and takes the more artistic road, avoiding the need for crossover appeal, aiming for a raw club vibe, arriving at a sound more similar to Rod Lee than Tittsworth. He goes straight for the jugular dropping the bass, claps, and snares without warning as each track opens right up rather than going with the more traditional extended mix-tooled intro. And once he starts, he doesn't let up, with six tracks that are guaranteed to make you shake your change from start to finish.
