It was family fun day last night as Eddie Murphy’s new film “Imagine That” premiered in Atlanta. Lil Scrappy, Diamond and their two cuties as well as several other A-town celebs and their families were spotted at the theatre. Steve Stoute, Bob Whitfield, Tameka Foster Raymond, Stephon Marbury (Boston Celtics), Jason Richardson (Phoenix Suns) and more attended the screening.

I know you guys all heard the rumors of Usher filing divorce in an Atlanta court yesterday. Well apparently no papers have been filed….in Atlanta…..yet.  The separation rumors are true but who knows? Maybe they can work it out. *shrugs*

I so sorry y’all…I’ve been holding on to this Slim of 112 interview for about 2 weeks now. *sigh* I admit it…I suck! But he and I had a lil sit down at The Grape in Atlantic Station (mmmmm Muscato!) and we chopped it up for a while. Slim’s new CD “Love’s Crazy” is on heavy rotation on the “A” pod and “So Fly” is my dayum personal theme song. He’s such a cool dude and is definitely Straight from the A…Cleveland Ave to be exact!

Slim has come a long way from the lead singer of 112. He has his own record label and now he’s calling the shots. Although he kind of disappointed me when he told me that he doesn’t speak to any of his former group members, he did say he has no ill feelings towards any of them and he’s sure they’re all doing big things.

I jumped on TWITTER and asked my followers if they had any questions for him:

iampritty@ATLien Does he blame @iamdiddy for not having any work the past 10 years?

SpaceyG@ATLien, yeah, I have a question. George Will says a rule of life is never play poker with a man named “Slim.” That true?

pooda@ATLien are u available for lunch? Tomorrow ? Maybe? Lol

JessDubb@ATLien what’s the next single

babajee@ATLien question for slim: when did you realize that your unique voice, could possibly get you a record deal?

wmicahw@ATLien didn’t know he was that close with faith evans until reading her book, what are his thoughts on “notorious” n the bad boy situation

pooda@ATLien would he consider a collab w Keri Hilson? I think their voices would mesh well

Slim answered just about everything and he held nothing back. (BTW…he’s not on twitter yet, but I’m working on it!) He talked at length about his feelings about being on Bad Boy, Diddy’s involvement in the group’s success and we even touched on his love life. Slim also revealed that that the “Heels On” (Remix) feat. Deezbo and Ron Browz is getting mad love these days on the airwaves.

Check out the full videotaped interview and also listen to the “Heels on” remix under the cut: (more…)

Slim of 112 recently shot the video in Atlanta for his next single for his solo album “Loves Crazy”, which is in stores now. The new song is called Apologize and Slim is shown in the video serenading us in front of an all female band. Great concept for this smooth ballad!

Last night I attented a VIP preview event at the View. The event was jam packed with ATL’s musical elite as they all came out to celebrate the upcoming February 17^th launch of “Grand Theft Auto IV: The Lost and Damned” with Rockstar Games, Xbox 360 and the Konsole Kingz .  Antwan “Big Boi” Patton (or Twan as I affectionately call him), Slim of 112, Mr. Collipark, DJ Cannon, DJ Drama & No ID each sat down for an up close and personal preview of the new game and some even took home limited-edition Xbox 360 “The Lost and Damned” consoles.

Check out a few more pics from the event below as well as a GTA IV Preview:

Friday flashback this week is 112’s “It’s Over Now.” This song brings back hella memories. I was soooo in love with Q back then…and when he broke it down in front of Waffle House…oooh weee! *sigh* Excuse me while I watch this video 4 mo times!

Slim from 112 hit up DJ Envy’s show recently to chop it up about his single project.  He mentions the upcoming remix of “So Fly” which may feature, T.I., Big Boi, Busta Rhymes and more.  Slim also discusses 112 and their dealings with Diddy & Def Jam.  He says that although he’s working on his solo projects, 112 are still a group, they are just “free-agents” right now.  All I know is…I wanna hear more from 112.  I miss them…
