JUKEBOXDC was lucky enough to stop through PINKYTHARAPPER and Debbie’s pool party, which also served as a videoshoot for Pinky’s latest single, “Blocked.” During the function, we chatted with Big Flock, Big Wax, Azian, and HousePartii about the shoot, new music, advice to up-and-comers, and much more. Check out the clips below.
If you missed it, you can watch the visual for “Blocked” here. Fans can also press play on Flock’s latest project, Sonny 2.
Big Flock follows the classic mixtape Sonny with a 14-song sequel — complete with a couple of assists from Glock Jones and Yodi Yo. Press play below.
Unofficial video or not (courtesy of No Other Way Productions), this song hits. “Player Commandments” is said to be taken from Flock’s upcoming Sonny 2 project.
Flex Kartel just unleashed ‘Alotta,’ a sonic rollercoaster featuring 3oh Black and Big Flock. Laweezy and Summ Foreign’s beats create a wild musical landscape. But hold up – it’s not just about the beats! Directed by Danielle Luckett and filmed by Migoshotlex, the visuals are pure FIRE, turning this collaboration into a mind-blowing experience. Calling all rap, trap, and hip-hop fans – this is not your average drop, it’s an adrenaline-fueled thrill!
Real sh*t. Big Flock’s Socially Awkward project is out now.

After some teasing, Big Flock liberates his “sneaky album” Socially Awkward, a hard-hitting affair with 12 tracks and a couple of assists from YC and MaskDwn187. Press play below.
Never heard of this guy but, looking at his channel, the past few weeks have seen him all around the (worst parts of the) D.C. area. For his latest, he connects with the always official Big Flock. Some hijinks ensue.
For added, uh, effect (?), you can also check out his Baltimore excursion below.
Here’s a surprise drop (for us). Baby 9eno and Big Flock — two of the DMV’s biggest stars — join forces for a five-song EP. Check it out below.
The track itself can be found on Flock’s January drop Saved By The Bellz.
Produced by Billi X. Also notable is the fact that there isn’t any cursing on this track.

DMV’s own Big Flock puts his own spin on Toosii’s “Favorite Song.”
Big Flock drops off a surprise EP with seven dope cuts for fans to enjoy. Check out Saved By the Bellz below.
A song we can definitely relate to. Taken from Big Flock’s latest release One Lick Away Side B.
Another year, another list of the dopest albums that we’ve heard from D.C. and Baltimore area artists over the past 12 months. In 2021, we capped said list at 20 — this go ’round, we’re adding five more in an attempt to better capture the awesomeness that hit our collective ears in what feels like a return to some semblance of normalcy post-quarantine. With that said, JUKEBOX:DC is excited to provide you with 2022’s musical cream of the crop (in no particular order):
After delivering the well-received Undeniable and its deluxe upgrade in 2021, YG Teck continued his momentum with last April’s 90 Day Run, a hard-hitting, soul-bearing effort with assists from the likes of YBS Skola and Roddy Rackzz. This album is the type of multilayered talent that’s solidified Baltimore as a true hotspot for hip hop, and we look forward to seeing how Teck continues his ascent moving forward.

We’ve been fortunate to witness Young Moe’s career from his inception, and it’s amazing to see the Virginian continue to deliver quality releases in the present day. On Real One, he finds a way to merge his signature formula with some of the current styles made popular by this area’s new generation of artists. Add in fellow heavyweights like Shy Glizzy, Chris Bo (!), and Fat Trel, and you have a body of work that’s sure to get bump well into the future.

Let’s be clear, Rico Nasty has been pushing the boundaries of DMV music and culture damn near by herself. Following her official debut LP Nightmare Vacation, the P.G. County star kept the proverbial train rolling with Las Ruinas, a project full of the avant-garde raps and genre-bending vibes that’s pushed the XXL Freshman alum to the forefront of hip hop’s current generation. Notables like Teezo Touchdown and Marshmello also contributed to Rico’s most recent effort.

As an already pivotal member of A$AP Mob, the past few years or so have seen A$AP Ant continuing his creative run as both a formidable solo artist and as the head honcho of the Maryland-based Marino Infantry collective, an entity known as much for its merch tours as it is for its music. As such, the Baltimore talent put his all into the third installment of his Lil Black Jean Jacket series, complete with contributions from fellow Mob members Rocky and Twelvyy. Other heavyweights like Larry June and Curren$y also helped to make this one of 2021 most solid releases.

Since his release from prison back in 2019, Big Flock has quickly returned to form as one of the most electrifying rappers in the DMV, and 2021 might have been his most important year to date. First (for the purposes of this list) is the 15-song 1 Lick Away, which saw the Maryland emcee carrying an entire project without the need for a feature. Not done with his annual output, Flock then celebrated his birthday with a Side B upgrade of the aforementioned release. Add in November’s The Lemon Made Me Do It with WhoppV3 and you have what might be the most prolific talent from the DMV right now.

Produced by Double R and directed by 95 Productions.
In addition to releasing the joint album The Lemon Made Me Do It together, Big Flock and WhoppV3 come together for the loose drop “40.” Produced by Juu2x, Diggy Waterz, and Snair Jordan and directed by TreydUp.
