The timeless hit by Maurette Brown Clarke, “Just Wanna Praise You” is back for another round with a twist on the sound, giving it a new crisp sound vocally and instrumentally, and of course she brought Kenny Shelton to produce it and Anthony Brown back to bless it with his vocal production.

Brandon Maclin, Golden Night Of Greatness Awards

A few weeks ago, I had an opportunity to attend the “Golden Night Of Greatness Awards” put on by Brandon Maclin and I must say it was an absolutely great event at an awesome venue. The night was to honor some of the DMV’s musical contributors- Baltimore’s Own Stems Music founders James “Jimmy” Johnson and Monet Shelton were honored for their incredible work with vocal production; BGV’s body of skilled singers who have been blessed to travel all over the world and represent us not just in gospel music, but in multiple genres; Aaron Spears who is a beyond notable drummer who has played with many but spotlighted for his lengthy tenure with Usher Raymond; Josh & Jimmy Jenkins for their awesome work in production and stage plays; Dr Khalidah Forbes for all she does not just in her pulpit but to build and edify the kingdom at large, not just spiritually but mentally; Cheryl Jackson for her heart for gospel music and work in radio; and Bobby Burwell. The performances of the night were so awesome, Jason & Jonathan Nelson, Maurette Brown Clark, VaShawn Mitchell, Tiya Askia, Josh Copeland, Brittney Wright and Stems music delivered great tributes to the honorees of the night. Kudos to Brandon Maclin & his staff for the vision and execution of such a memorable night!

Sam Roberts

I had the awesome opportunity to experience the virtual listening party for Sam Roberts & Levites Assembly and hear me clearly this is absolutely a great record from start to finish. I thoroughly enjoyed it! Baltimore’s finest Morgan Turner and Buddy Lakins, definitely blessed this one! Please go grab it and thank me later! Single “It’s All For You” featuring Courtney Franklin a vocal powerhouse! It’s out right now and the single with Michael Lampkin, smh is all I can say! Go support, this is good choir music!
