With fast-moving shots of the Inner Harbor, Lexington Market and city neighborhoods, the colorful clip pops with vibrant imagery set to Baltimore musician DDm rapping lines like, "I done seen a whole lot / walking on these sidewalks."

The movie is still in production, with plans to complete it around June, TT the Artist said via a direct Twitter message. She plans to submit it to film festivals in the fall, while "hoping for a premiere in Spring 2019."
