ATLien — Mon, 22 Jun 2009 20:10:46 +0000

Monica was photographed in Baltimore a few weeks ago while on tour with Keyshia Cole’s “A Different Me Tour.” She looks fabulous as usual even when caught by surprise and she lives for her two beautiful sons Romelo and Lil Rocko. Monica has newly released track from her highly anticipated come back CD. You may remember this track from Mo’s PeachTreeTV reality show “The Single: Monica” a few months back when she was working in the studio with B. Cox tryna find her next single. A snippet of the song was released back then and quickly made the internet rounds. Now the completed version is here for your listening pleasure!

Video ~ “Trust” ~ Keyshia Cole ft. Monica

Check out the video for Keyshia Cole’s “Trust” featuring Monica. I normally don’t like songs with two women or two men cause they always try to outsing each other. In this case the opponents were equally matched so there was no need for a ’sang off,” however they do it anyway around the 4:00 mark…

Rock’s got the model face on lock! Love it.

I got these pictures of Monica & Rocko late yesterday after I’d already posted on the Hawks game but I couldn’t just leave them in the gallery! I figured quite a few people would want to see them and you know I would never intentionally deny you guys. So check out a few behind the scenes flix of the happy family’s day with the Atlanta Hawks courtesy of photographer FreddyO:

Poor Lil Rocko looks way uncomfortable in Polow’s arms…

A lil playtime between father and son…how sweet!

One on One with Monica: Album Update + New BET Reality Show

ATLien — Mon, 23 Mar 2009 18:47:21 +0000

I caught up with Monica yesterday and got a chance to inquire about all of her upcoming projects. Tons of her loyal fans have been hitting me up recently asking “wassup with the album?“, as well as seeking confirmation about her reality show, so I figured why not go to the source! There are two songs circulating the net right now, “Taxi” (which you may have heard during her PeachtreeTV reality show) and “Once in a Lifetime.” Both are creating quite a buzz! The main thing Monica wants to get across is that neither song is the single, so don’t get it twisted. She’s recorded over 100+ songs in her quest to find the right mix and she’s still in the lab with several producers, most notably B-Cox and Missy Elliot. But don’t fret…it’s coming!

Monica has been very busy lately. In addition to recording her own songs, she’s currently featured on her good friend, Keyshia Cole’s “Trust” and they’re preparing to shoot the video. She also just happened to be on her way to meet with the producer of her new BET reality show. That’s right! Mo’s show is hitting prime-time and is a done deal! The show, appropriately titled Still Standing starts production in a few short weeks and the first show will air sometime around the 2nd week of September. On the show, Monica hopes to touch the lives of troubled young women by sharing her journey in an open and honest way. She’s currently seeking clearance to take a camera crew into a women’s federal prison. (She ain’t skerred!) If you don’t know, Mo’s the realest in the game, so don’t let nobody tell you otherwise! She gave me quite an earful as we chatted about all the A-town gossip off camera. On camera, Monica gave her fans the 411 and repped her hometown of Atlanta to the fullest!

Peep the full videotaped interview below as well as a sample of those two leaked tracks: (more…)
