Can’t lie 38 was cool, now let’s turn it up a notch
Happy 39th Birthday to ME

I want to thank God for everything. Waking me up every morning with purpose, for making me one of his strongest warriors, and covering my family and loved ones. I’m praying you continue working on me God and I pray you remove all procrastination from me God and give me strength where needed. AMEN 🙏🏾 taken in Baltimore, Maryland by @nytelyfe1986

The first time I came and looked at this building was September 9, 2022. I instantly fell in love with the space and knew I would have it one day. At the time I was just returning back to Baltimore from Atlanta and had my mind set on what I was going to do once I returned. But at the time I wasn’t ready for this building and I believe that’s why God didn’t give it to me. He knew I had more growing and evolving to do so he gave me what I needed and could handle at that time.

Nyte Lyfe Studios 817 N Howard Street. “My very own spot” I used to say. Same plans I’m making happen now was what I wanted to do then but I will tell that story another day. What I will say is that space taught me a lot and at the time I needed more than anything. I didn’t walk away from that place rich like I thought I would but I was able to finish a lease and do something I never thought I would do and learn in the process.

Anyway so here we are 2026. I reached out to the agent back in March trying to structure a new deal that could work for us both. The building is in a great area and has parking but it’s a unique space for a unique tenant like myself but has been vacant since 2021. They wanted 4500 everything paid and I offered 2600 and I’ll pay my own utilities. We went back and forth a little and neither of us was budging. I sent my last offer which the number I won’t say but I was firm on it, they said no and kinda gave up on the thought. Then out the blue I get an email back in July saying they will take my last offer which was an amazing offer I will say for me. We spent another month or so making sure the contracts and paperwork was right and August 31st i got my keys.

God wanted me to have this building but he also wanted me to be able to sustain it as well. So what happened? I watched God start removing things and people who no longer served me to prepare me for the things I prayed for. He started giving me opportunities and opening doors for me long before I got the keys to this one. And all i can hear him saying is there is MORE. GOD I thank you for every blessing, every failure, every win, and more. by @nytelyfe1986

There’s levels to this. Welcome to ours.

I’ve spent years creating, putting events together, and making room for other artists. Now we have a place to bring it all together.

Introducing LEVEL86.

Recording studio. Dance and rehearsal space. Event hall. Offices. Content and podcast space.

I wanted a space where you can work on your craft, handle your business, and be around other people building something too.

For the artist who needs somewhere to record. The dancer who needs room to rehearse. The entrepreneur who needs an office. The creator ready to get their ideas out. And the people who bring us all together.

There’s so much more this building will offer. What you see here is just the start. I’ll be sharing more as we bring it to life.

Baltimore, I’m excited about what we can build in here.

812 Guilford Avenue, Floor 2.

Come find your next level.

Putting events together has been part of my life for years. Now we have a home for more of those moments.

Performances, celebrations, pop-ups, and people coming together. I’m looking forward to seeing what y’all bring into this room.

The event hall at LEVEL86.

Music is where a lot of this started for me, so having a recording studio inside LEVEL86 means a lot.

Somewhere to pull up, lock in, and work on your music. Whether you’re recording your first song or putting together your next project, I’m looking forward to hearing what comes out of this room.

LEVEL86 Recording Studio.

Bring your sound. Let’s take it to another level.

We have a lot to say and a lot worth showing.

A space for the conversations, stories, and ideas you’ve been ready to put out. Bring your perspective. Let’s get it on camera.

Content and podcast space at LEVEL86.

There’s so much more coming. This is just the start.

Before they see the performance, there’s the work.

A space to rehearse, try something new, and run it back until it feels right. Dancers, choreographers, and performers—bring what you’re working on.

Dance and rehearsal at LEVEL86.

The business needs room to grow too.

LEVEL86 has three offices, with space to focus, take meetings, and handle the work behind what you’re building.

And when it’s time to create, you taken in Baltimore, Maryland by @nytelyfe1986

I really have a 20 year old son y’all, time really be flying. It does not seem like that much time has passed but here you are tryna make me feel old lol. Anyway, Son I am so proud of you and the man I’m watching you become in front of my eyes. Your kindness, your work ethic, your intelligence and so many other things gives me plenty of reasons to be proud. I pray God continues to bless your path and that you continue chasing your dreams and all the things you want in life because it’s already yours.
Love you Son and Happy 20th Birthday

From the moment you came into this world, something in my heart knew my job was to be there for you. To guide you, push you, and protect you. Nine years later, that hasn’t changed one bit.

Anyone who knows me knows how much I love my Khloe. I often think about how lucky I am because I didn’t give you life, but life gave me you 🤍 and I’m forever grateful for that.

Happy 9th Birthday, Khloe 🤍 by @nytelyfe1986

To my Mom, my shining star. They say for many men, a mother’s love is the first and most unconditional love they will ever feel. And it’s not that I’m not loved, but there is nothing in this world that can compete with the love you’ve poured into me and continue to pour in me. And while I was thinking of all kinds of nice things to say about you in the post, I came to the conclusion that I’d be playing myself because the words don’t exist. I love you Mommy and Happy Birthday 🎂🎉🎊
Wishing you more growth, good health , good fortune, and more 🤍 by @nytelyfe1986

To begin with, Lincoln did not free the slaves. In fact, by the time slaves were freed, he had already passed away, making it impossible for him to have done so. Freedom was inevitable, but the manner in which it would be achieved was crucial. We never required his intervention, and he merely ensured that we gained a semblance of freedom, rather than the genuine freedom that came with land and reparations. Instead, we were subjected to the Black Code and Jim Crow laws. The true purpose was never to grant us actual freedom but to provide enough to silence us so that they could maintain control over the country. 🖕🏾Abraham Lincoln by @nytelyfe1986
