“You wanna fly, you got to give up the thing that weighs you down.”
Johnie Baltimore is an American progressive hip hop artist and songwriter. Born and raised in Baltimore, MD, Johnie has been a featured performer at various events in Los Angeles, California and the Baltimore-DC area. His debut mixtape, The Fall / Collection, released in 2014, is an ode to traditional hip hop and explores his experiences as a young Black man who has become disillusioned by life. In the fall of 2018, Johnie Baltimore dropped his sophomore project Undressed, which includes eclectic pop-rap songs such as the Amapiano-flavored “Don’t Want Smoke,” the lo-fi chilled “Golden State,” and the trap-soul tinged “Everytime.”
