Rod Lee

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rod Lee is a Baltimore DJ, producer,[1] and party MC.[2] who is known for the popularization of Baltimore Club music. Described as "the original don of Baltimore Club" by the Washington Post, in 2005 he released "Vol. 5: the Official," a DJ mix that was the first Baltimore Club CD to be distributed nationally.[3] His productions have contributed to the success of local stars like Bossman and Paula Campbell.[1][4] He is the founder and owner of the Club Kingz record label.[3] and has independently released four mixtapes that have circulated around the mid-atlantic, but primarily within his native city of Baltimore.

Lee is highly popular among Baltimore club-goers and Baltimore Club music fans. Because the city and surrounding area of Baltimore does not have a highly developed urban music scene, he is currently considered one of the most notable artists to represent the city.
