Influences Personally - His mother who exposed him to a diverse range of artists growing up. His wife who shares his passion for life, music, art..........and of course love. Musically - Along with the artists mentioned already, Jay Dee, Ron Carter, Big Daddy Kane, Sonny Cheeba, Head-Roc, and host of others. Appreciation for an equally wide range of people such as Miriam Mikeba, Kwame Toure, Harry Belafonte, Randolph Robinson, Claude Anderson, and John Henrik Clarke have also helped refine Salim's musical approach. But his biggest influence is...the MIC

   About Salim


Salim, born and bred in Baltimore, but infused with universal appeal, has opened for KRS-1, Rakim, Slick Rick, Method Man, Black Sheep, The Pharcyde, and Talib Kweli in prominent metropolitan venues as well as rocked the mic intimately in café-like coves throughout the East Coast since 2004.
  
As the writer and producer of his 17-track debut album Hip Hop Revisited, Salim has been described as the “embodiment of hip hop’s evolution.” In the tradition of master Griots such as Nas and Mos Def, Salim brings deeply introspective lyrics that encompass a wide range of life experiences. With a desire to incorporate live instrumentation into his music, Salim formed his group, The Music Lovers, in December 2005 and they have been performing together since April 2006. The Music Lovers will begin recording a debut album in August 2007. Together Salim & The Music Lovers blend the live band tradition with elements of modern hip hop. In addition, Salim is the former host of The Urban Blend Café, where he worked to bring local musical acts to the forefront. His love of hip hop transcends the hype of stage performance, however. Salim has been impacted by artists who span musical genres and generations. From Public Enemy to Stan Getz and from The Roots to Stevie Wonder, Salim’s list of influences is vast and thus reflected on Hip Hop Revisited. “Bringing balance back to hip hop” is Salim's objective. With continued performances throughout the Baltimore/D.C. area, he continues to attract a diverse listening audience eager to explore hip hop’s higher plane.

Hey, thanks for the kind words. I did all the recording and mixing at home in my living room -- it's amazing how powerful Apple's Logic software is! Your flow sounds really nice -- keep on keepin on. Take care, BJF

Hi Salim,

No problem, thanks for the kindness back! Yes, we will definitely keep in touch.

I'm really excited for you on the new collaborative inspiration...I've had a couple of those too. They're really magical things.

Doesn't take more than a handful of really creative/ positive people motivating and inspiring each other to change the world, I think.

Was a pleasure to meet you and hear you. Keep me updated about this music project & other projects as well...I'll let you know once I get crackin' on my movie...then let's do something really cool! ;)

Take care & love,

Hey Salim...

I tried to send you a private note, but kept receiving an error message. Nonetheless, my heart is sad and heavy... as I told you previously, Ms. E was quite ill... well, she just didn't have the strength to fight anymore. :o(

We had her going away celebration and I thought of the day I first wrote to you about her tapping her foot and bopping her sweet lil' head to "Stresses..."

She so often asked me about you and joked about her "young manfriend on the computer" sending her love.

Just thought I would let you know... As always, I pray you are well and blessed.

Well thank you for finally adding me! I was beginning to think you were ignoring me on purpose ;) I definitely understand what it means to be busy, unfortunately for me my busy-ness doesn't entail anything fun like music.

I absolutely LOVE the CD! The whole CD...not just the song with Topix on it! LOL...he is funny.

I just watched the "Baltimore" performance and I must say you are an incredible writer and emcee. I would have loved to see that entire show, because I heard it was an amazing experience.

Thanks again for (finally) making me a part of the fam :)

Thanks for the birthday wishes! Thanks for pointing out that major oversight...it has definitely been corrected. I can't imagine what happened. However, it does confirm my theory on aging.
