Seth Firkins

This month, we lost not only an extremely talented colleague but an incredibly wonderful friend.

This month, the man behind Future’s sound for the past eight years and our brother, Seth Firkins, was called home.

In this life, it is rare to encounter those who leave profound mark not only in the world but in your heart.

In this industry rife with opportunists and naysayers, Seth was and always will be a spirit of pure love and positivity.

Seth, your memory will forever live on in our hearts. We miss you. We love you. Always.

OMB Peezy

Happy birthday to the land of the free and the home of the brave!

Let’s see who stopped by 11th Street this month, shall we?

Motown Records artist Rich Homie Quan kept his streak going by spending a staggering eight days in Studio A while Baltimore newcomer, Pyrex, got the ball rolling with ten sessions producing in Studio C.

Think It’s a Game Records showed us more love this month as we saw the return of YFN Lucci and Forte Bowie for a total of five sessions between them in Studio A.

New 300 Entertainment signee, OMB Peezy, stopped by Studio C for a session this month. Excited to see where this goes!

CyHi the Prince stopped Studio C for a music playback this month as well. Maybe we’ll be hearing something from him soon? We’ll just have to wait and see!

Studio C kept going strong this month with two visits apiece from producer Nash B, Dream Bigger Media Group artist Damond Blue, and Loyal Money Music Group.

This month wouldn’t be complete without a visit from the Freebandz head honcho himself, Future, who stopped in to takeover the whole studio for a night.

Studio F was kept busy with frequent sessions by Fallon and Felisha of the group Cherish with sessions held by manager and A&R, Mathias Sorum.

Studio B saw similar action as Beyonce producer, Blac Elvis, continued working with his Mars on Sunday artists, even bringing Derrty Ent. creator Nelly through for a quick session in Studio A.

Check us out next month for more summer action at 11th Street!

Let’s see how things heated up at 11th Street this month…

Still buzzing from his new hit single Magnolia, Interscope artist Playboi Carti and the hit’s producer, Pi’erre Bourne, stopped by Studio C for a session this month. Hopefully some more fire’s on the way!

It certainly took 300 Entertainment artist Tee Grizzley “No Effort” to give us another visit in studio A with engineer Ejay Washington after stopping by last month. Soon after, arguably one of 300’s most famous signees, Young Thug, stopped in to studio A this month to continue work on his upcoming projects.

Think It’s a Game label mates YFN Lucci, Forte Bowie, and Garren all spent some time on their own in Studio A this month. Bowie’s B.E.D. collaborator Nash B, had a couple sessions in Studio C this month. Got to keep those creative juices flowing!

Longtime client and Epic Records powerhouse, Future, occupied the entire studio for two days this month.

In the studio for the first time since signing with Motown Records was Rich Homie Quan, back at it and starting off strong!

Still representing tough for Baltimore, newly relocated Damond Blue held seven sessions in our Studio C. Loyal Money Music Group held four sessions of their own in the purple

Fallon and Felisha of the group Cherish continued to work on the projects while Blac Elvis continued his occupation of Studio B working with his Mars On Sunday artists.

Summertime is always buzzing so check back next month to see what’s happening at 11th Street!
