Rocko was spotted on the set of his upcoming video for “Finesse” with fiance´Monica and their two sons, Romelo and Lil Rocko. I just love seeing these two together! Black love is BEAUTIFUL!!  Peep a few more flix below:

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!

“Lil Rocko always puts up the peace sign. We believe in peace and love. LoL”

Monica sent over some pics of the kids for you guys. Lil Rocko is just like his daddy and Romelo is getting soooo big!  Check out the pics below:

“My youngest is a real sweetheart. Soooo loving.”

Superstar Status!

I caught up with Rocko recently and got a chance to grill him on his favorite O.S.A.M. (Old School Atlanta Memory). Regardless what Killer Mike says about Freaknik, it appears that most true ATLiens can fondly reminisce and reflect about those good ole days riding down Peachtree Street flossin and glossin’.  Rocko is no exception, his favorite O.S.A.M. took us back to our favorite A-Town Black college reunion and he also suggests to Shirley Franklin (or whoever our next mayor will be) to consider bringing it back.  When I joked about what candidate he’s supporting, Rocko promptly nominated himself for mayor of Atlanta.

Watch out y’all…there may be a mayoral upset once he starts his campaign as a write in!

Happy Friday!!

Rick Ross‘ listening session for “Deeper Than Rap” was held last night at Artistry and the drinks and music flowed freely. I don’t really follow that whole Rick Ross/50 Cent thing so I decided to chill on the interview tip and let the other sites take care of that. I did however catch up with Killer Mike and Rocko, who both kept me more than entertained throughout the evening! We ended up turning the session into an ATL lovefest

Check out my video footage from the event below:

Side Note: Can somebody tell me if Rick Ross represents Malibu in some way? He shouted out “Malibu and Pineapple” all night long….

Y’all dragged me off of my Christmast vacaction with this one! I’ve received emails, phone calls and knocks on my front door of people asking me wassup with Monica. Apparently word on the street is that Monica and her boo Rocko have been living in wedded bliss for some time now and haven’t told anyone…*cough* “Anyone” meaning me! Monica, the mother of two of the cutest kids I know, and her perpetual fiance Rodney Ramone Hill, Jr., aka Rocko Da Don. are rumored to have tied the knot.

Super producer Bryan-Michael Cox let the cat out of the bag during a recent interview:

Question: Back in the day Brandy and Monica were sort of the touted R&B/Pop queens, much like you have let’s say Rihanna and Beyonce today. Working with Monica, who now has children and a family life, was the experience of producing for her new album a challenge?

 
Bryan Michael Cox: Monica, she’s a mother, a WIFE and all of that right now and she’s a young woman. She was really open. She didn’t want to make a “Oh I’m married and I have to do this” type of album. She still wanted to make a young and fly album. (Source)

Monica herself has also been known to call Rocko her hubby and indicated that they were married in an interview earlier this year.  I, for one, am happy for the couple but disappointed that I didn’t receive my INVITE.  Wassup with that MO??
