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!

Polow Da Don Involved in Chris Brown/Rihanna “Love Duet”

ATLien — Wed, 11 Mar 2009 17:43:24 +0000

Word on the street is that Chris Brown and Rihanna are somewhere recording a “makeup” duet together and it’s being produced by Polow Da Don.

The seemingly reconciled duo have been working on a duet that Brown is hoping to include on his new album, due out later this year, a studio source tells E! News. ‘They’ve been working on it together,’ the insider says.”

The E! News story also says that award-winning record producer Polow Da Don, who has worked with Brown in the past, has been “holed up with them at a Santa Monica recording studio for the past several days.” (Source)

Apparently, Polow encouraged Chris and Rihanna to record the duet as soon as possible to capitalize on the young musicians’ “heightened emotions.” The song was originally written to be performed by just Rihanna, but Polow felt the track would work even better as a duet. The song is reportedly about a couple overcoming challenges and sources say that the recording sessions have been “very emotional” and that “the feeling in the room was pure love.” I guess their lil fighting situation is a money making opportunity for everyone. I ain’t mad at all…

This is my kinda song! Keep it gutta and TURN UP THE RADIO!

Flix/Audio ~ Zone 4’s Turkey Giveaway + One on One w/Polow Da Don

ATLien — Thu, 27 Nov 2008 14:41:42 +0000

Polow Da Don and the entire Zone 4, Inc. crew held their 2nd annual Turkey GiveAway Tuesday (Nov. 25th) in Southwest Atlanta. In addition to receiving a free turkey, families were given the opportunity to enter a drawing to receive free rent/mortgage for a year. The crowd was astronomical as V-103s Greg Street did a live remote while Polow, Keri Hilson and Rich Boy all mingled amongst the crowd.

I cornered Polow for a lil one-on-one (get your minds out the gutter!) and he and I reminisced about growing up on the southside.

Keyshia Cole’s, “The Way It Is” premiered on BET Tuesday night and all the family drama is back in full effect. During this advance sneak peek, Polow Da Don joins Keyshia in the studio. Polow tells Keyshia, in pure Atlanta fashion, that her “pimpin is off” cause if it was on she’d be tryna holla at him. I can’t take it..not today.
