  • Whatever Happened to… O’So Krispie?

    Do you guys remember O’So Krispie, the O’So perky winner of UPN’s R U The Girl with T Boz & Chilli??  Well, O’So, real name Tiffany Baker, is back after getting her life and her mind together after a series of hardships and has a new single making the rounds.  I just received a press release and was pleasently surprised to see that a couple of ATL producers (DJ Toomp, Teddy Bishop) have a hand in O’So’s comeback. 

    Find out what she’s been up too, and also check out the new video for her single “Slumber Party”: (more…)

    Don’t get it twisted…I’m still made about what happened and “MC” is still banned from this site! I’m only posting this video cause Toomp did the beat and T.I. is in it. No other reason. So I’m not even gonna comment on it…I’ll leave that to y’all.

    Nas Album Cover Revealed ~ It Says N.I.G.G.E.R. Loud & Clear

    Posted by ATLien - June 2nd, 2008
    Published in DJ Toomp, Hot New Music, Jermaine Dupri, Nas, Pictures, Polow Da Don

    After dropping the controversial “N.I.G.G.E.R.” title and then proclaiming that it’s still called “Nigger,” Nas unveiled the album cover for his 9th studio album last week.  Untitled…maybe…but the image of Nas with welts on his back in the form of an “N” says it all.  Nas even tells Billboard that the cover “speaks for itself.  It says [N-Word] real loud.”   The album is scheduled for release July 1st and has several Atlanta connections, including Jermaine Dupri, Polow Da Don (My Legacy), and DJ Toomp (N.I.G.G.E.R.).

    Published in "A" Town Favorites, DJ Toomp

    DJ Toomp is Atlanta History! He’s been in the game for 24 years and is responsible for a long list of Hip Hop favorites from Raheem the Dream to T.I.’s, Trap Muzik, Dope Boys, What you know, Motivation, 24’s, Be Easy and more. Toomp has also collaborated with every one in the industry from Jeezy to Dr. Dre to Rick Ross & Nas and Mariah Carey. Toomp’s most recent accomplishment includes Kanye West’s multi-platinum album, Graduation. We are soooo proud of Atlanta’s own, super producer, DJ Toomp for the Grammy nods for Kanye’s, Good Life and Can’t Tell Me Nothing! We know he will make Atlanta proud and regardless of what happens in LA at the Grammy’s, Toomp is a WINNER in our book!

    The “A” has got the GRAMMY’S on LOCK!

    Posted by ATLien - December 7th, 2007

    Don’t sleep.  Atlanta is representing HARD in this year’s Grammy nominations.  Included in the list are several Atlanta Transplants as well as some home grown A-T-L-iens.   I am so proud of our city!  We have the music game on LOCK right now…

    “Toomp killed this $ish….”~ Kanye West in ”Big Brother” 

    Kanye West is leading the pack with eight nominations this year.  While considering his nomination, you can’t forget the contribution of A-Town native (and my favorite “play play” baby daddy) DJ Toomp, who produced several of my favorite tracks from that album (Big Brother, Can’t Tell Me Nothing, Good Life)!  Toomp keep “killin ‘em” !

    Cee-Lo (of Gnarles Barkley)         Darius “the Dream” Nash

    We also have former Goodie Mob-er Cee-Lo in the nomination as part of the group Gnarles Barkley for a short film video titled “Gone Daddy Gone” and Terius “the Dream” Nash just earned his first Grammy nomination — for “Umbrella” — a week before his first CD, “Love Hate,” hits stores.

    Another ATL favorite, T.I. is also up for three awards including best album and Atlanta transplants Ne-Yo and T-Pain also have a good representation in this year’s noms.

    Leading local contenders with five nominations were Ne-Yo (record of of the year for penning Beyoncé’s “Irreplaceable”) and T-Pain. T-Pain’s nominations included two in one category — best rap/sung collaboration. The College Park resident born Faheem Najm currently appears on four singles on Billboard’s Top 10 pop listing, so the Thursday morning announcement from L.A. “was just icing.” (Source)
