  • Nappy Roots Releases “Nappy Dot Org” TODAY + New Music “Congratulations” [PHOTOS + AUDIO]

    Oct, 11 2011 | Written by ATLien

    Grammy award winning, platinum selling rap group Nappy Roots held a listening session last week (October 2nd) for their new cd “Nappy Dot Org,” which hit shelves today (October 11, 2011).

    Nappy Dot Org is the latest offering from Nappy Roots and they enlisted Atlanta-based production trio Organized Noize to produce the new album.

    Organized Noize members Rico Wade, Ray Murray and Sleepy Brown, fellow ATLiens known for creating hits with OutKast, Goodie Mob and the rest of the Dungeon Family, took on the task producing tracks that accentuated Nappy Roots’ signature “country boy” sound.

    How can we ever forget the addictive twang of “AwNaw (Hell Naw)“?

    Well dem country boys are still on the rise and the quintet reaches new hights with this recent 11-track offering. Continue Reading…

    “A” Town Pic of the Day ~ Big Rube… “Keep It 1,000”

    Oct, 15 2010 | Written by ATLien

    Because I love all things Dungeon Family, it was hard not to pass up this pic of Big Rube last night on Twitter.? Rube is known for his spoken word intros and interludes for many of the Dungeon Family?s albums, including Outkast, Goodie Mob, Witchdoctor and more.

    My personal favorite Rubism is “Love’s Deceit” from the movie ATL but Big Rube spits knowledge to youngsters in the rap game about keeping it really real on “Keep it 1,000″…

    ATL Flashback ~ Big Rube’s “Love’s Deceit”

    Aug, 21 2009 | Written by ATLien

    Did y’all even pay attention to the words of Big Rube’s “Love’s Deceit” poem while you were drooling over T.I. (or Lauren London)? Peep game:

    Pleasure turns to the pain of lessons learned from the strain of the questions burned in my brain about whether love is humane in its touch
    These thoughts are like salmon swimming upstream in the tears of your deceit
    Fighting a current hurt that kills more than is created by the chaos of our intertwined emotions
    Chaotic because the anchor of Eros? arrow has been plucked from the vessel of my undying infatuation
    Separation not as simple as the distance between us
    My mind no longer possessed by the demons that had been the overseers of my enslavement to your lies
    The seeds of these lies rooted so deeply they?ve cracked the foundation of what we once shared
    Allowing the faith in us I had sealed inside to gush out like a river
    Ripping the image of our future together from my thoughts as violently and as brutally as if it were a child being taken from its mothers arms
    I?m left surrounded in darkness but I refuse to be swallowed by it
    My loneliness like night air; invisible to the eye obvious to the touch, in its cold uncomfortable ness
    Yet If I could do all over again I?d do it in the same skin I?m in
    To lay down and let love die, just stay down and let love lie
    No, no, no, no, not I
    I?ll stay around and let love fly
    Even though I?ve seen its darkest form; deceit
    Nothing else could tastes this warm or feel this sweet

    O.S.A.M. ~ Sista, Lover & Friend ~ “A” Women’s History Month + Soapbox Moment (Part 1)

    Mar, 6 2009 | Written by ATLien

    March is Women’s History Month so all of the O.S.A.M.s (Old School Atlanta Memories) I write in the coming weeks will focus on women. And history. Unsung women’s history. And music. In the A. There’s a lot of that, by the way.

    Somewhere.

    I had all kinds of grand plans to talk old school this week about the party promotress with the PhD or the Grammy-winning grandson of the unsung civil rights foot soldier who largely credits her influence for his success. I’d been in it for the past few days as Goodie M.O.B. is my default ATL group of choice and we started the week slippin’ on Black Ice with the snow and all. Was maybe going to talk about how great it was to actually be able to play ‘Beautiful Skin’ in the car with my kid when it first came out.

    Thought about doing a ‘Still Standing’ (G.M.) vs. ‘Still Standing’ (Monica) retrospective til I saw a poster touting Lisa “Left-Eye” Lopez’s latest offering (r.i.p. eternally).

    All that other stuff suddenly got pushed back like Keri Hilson’s (much-anticipated) release date.

    So, what’s your favorite O.S.A.M. moment involving an ATL female rapper? Seemed like a logical place to start. The answers I’ve gleaned so far range from “working as a P.A. on my first video – TLC’s ‘What About Your Friends’ to “watching the fight between Princess and Diamond at Soulja Boy’s party.” In the age of instant tweeting, old school can sometimes mean………last year?

    Sometimes. Continue Reading…
