Baltimore by SaleemMusic published on 2013-01-21T03:06:06Z "Nothing like this has ever been written about Baltimore before. It speaks to me as a celebration of everyday life in Baltimore. I hear hope, faith, what it means to live and work in Baltimore, its assets and resources, but just as importantly, its problems and challenges. The song doesn't sugarcoat the city and say everything is great and wonderful; Baltimore is a very real place with issues like the homelessness, graffiti, homicide…but the song also attests to the city's history and culture,"-University of Baltimore Professor Paul Sturm Genre folk
