    ON BLAST!! BoyzIIMen’s Nathan Morris Drags Dallas Austin After VladTV Interview… (VIDEO)

    Aug, 30 2019 | Written by ATLien

    Super producer Dallas Austin was a crucial part of the success of Boyz II Men as he extensively produced their first album “Cooleyhighharmony”.

    Austin recently did an interview with VladTV recently, where he shared how he chose a more limited role in working with the group on their second album due their inflated egos and he gave specific examples of how fame changed the group.

    Dallas’ statements also struck a nerve with at least one Boyz II Men member, who hit the gram with a scathing response.

    Monica Brown & Dallas Austin Celebrate 20th Anniversary of ‘Ms Thang’… [PHOTOS + VIDEO]

    Jul, 20 2015 | Written by ATLien

    Monica MsThang 20 Years SFTA 2015

    Monica Brown has always been one of my favorite Atlanta artists and just a few days ago, she celebrated the 20th anniversary of her first album, Ms. Thang!


    Producer Dallas Austin, who is hailed as the driving force behind TLC’s rise to stardom, saw Monica do a rendition of Whitney Houston?s ?Greatest Love of All? and was so impressed that he took her under his wing and signed her to his Arista Records-distributed label, Rowdy Records.

    It was on July 18, 1995, that Monica?s debut album hit shelves to much fanfare and acclaim for her strong vocals and feisty swagger. Ms. Thang peaked at No. 7 on?Billboard?s Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart and produced multiple hit singles, like ?Don?t Take It Personal (Just One of Dem Days),? and the double A-Side single, ?Before You Walk Out of My Life? and ?Why I Love You So Much.? Both singles peaked at No. 1 on the?Billboard?Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, making Monica the youngest artist in history ? she was 14 at the time ? with consecutive No. 1 songs.

    Both Dallas and Monica hit the net recently to reminisce about the album that started it all for the talented songstress.

    For younger viewers unfamiliar with TLC?s history, the film served as an introduction to arguably the biggest girl group in music history, but for long-time fans of the former trio, it was a heartbreaking story of how the music industry can chew you up and spit you out if you don’t know your worth.
