Through the Wire...

The thing about works like HBO's The Wire is that such a well-researched, well written show can take you into the depths of a sub-culture in just an hour. I was first introduced to B-more club music through the soundtrack of The HBO series The Wire and quickly became a fan. One of it's most celebrated DJ's has just died in a pool accident. Respect.

Growing up, she had many influences to help drive her into what some might say is a successful music career and others her destiny.
