She introduced a younger audience to the fast beats and dirty vocal tracks of Baltimore club music - one of the city's signature sounds.

The way Edgerton Hartwell figures it, if he's going to learn, he might as well learn from the best. And if he's going to spend most of his NFL rookie season on the sidelines, he might as well be watching the league's most dominant defense.
