Check out this great new interview I ran across of Big Boi today. Mr. Patton sat down with 411 Magazine recently to plug his upcoming Sir Lucious Leftfoot project. The interview took place at Stankonia records and Big Boi discussed Outkast, Pitbulls and how Sir Lucious Leftfoot is just one of his many monikers. My personal favorite is Daddy Fat Sacs…

Lil Scrappy went on record recently to let everyone know the real deal about the stabbing incident that occurred in Dekalb County Georgia back in July. Scrappy says “don’t get it twisted” he was protecting his sister and feels that any brother would have done the same. If you recall, the sister’s boyfriend ended up stabbing Scrappy in the arm and chest area and Scrappy was arrested.

Fonzworth Bentley aka Derek Watkins is one ATLien who’s making waves in the industry. Bentley has been very busy these days. Diddy’s former personal assistant recently completed a stint as host on VH1’s G’s to Gents and also has an underground music career. His first song off of the unreleased C.O.L.O.U.R.S. album featured Kanye West and Andre 3000 and this next release is an ode to Atlanta called “A-Town Streets.” I didn’t hesitate to listen to this track since I already knew it would have a ton of “A-Town” flavor. I wasn’t disappointed.
Check it out and let me know what you think…

T.I. and Tiny were the life of the party as they celebrated Tip’s 28th birthday with “Untouchables - Part II” Saturday night. The private event was held last night at the Biltmore Hotel, an Atlanta historic landmark and was sponsored by Patron, Atlantic Records, and T.I.’s new clothing line (AKOO).
The entire Grand Hustle family was in the building! Shouts out to Nicole Garner of The Garner Circle PR for the invite and media access and a big thanks to Young Dro for not shooting the Valet…

The “A”’s own Killer Mike joined Dr. Michael Eric Dyson, Q-Tip and Michaela Angela Davis joined All Hip Hop’s social discussion panel on Hip Hop and Politics. Killer Mike lit up the discussion with strong advice to young Black men to vote. His tip? Shut up, listen to your elders and stop listening to dumb rappers! He also advised politicians that they should use the resources that the dumb rappers use to reach the dumb people that listen to them…LMAO. Tell em Mike!
BTW…NecoleBitchie will be participating in the next AHH panel on Hip Hop & Politics tomorrow afternoon at CAU. Can’t wait to see NB show out!
