WATCH: ‘ATL: The Untold Story of Atlanta?s Rise in the Rap Game’ [FULL VIDEO] #ATLRise

Sep, 3 2014 | Written by ATLien

The VH1 documentary ‘ATL: The Untold Story of Atlanta?s Rise in the Rap Game’ aired last night (September 2, 2014) and it was embraced with open arms.

The show not only went through the musical history of Atlanta, it was also a Black History lesson in that the hip-hop explosion that occurred in our city also coincided with Atlanta’s civil rights legacy.

The documentary is different in that it touches on the city?s meager, mostly overlooked hip-hop beginnings and pays well-deserved homage to frequently overlooked early musical contributors like MC Shy D, Kilo Ali, Raheem the Dream, King Edward J., Arnell Star and more.

[FLASHBACK: Remembering Arnell Star: Atlanta’s Legendary Music Legend Laid To Rest… (PHOTOS + VIDEO)]

The documentary also focuses on the musical groundwork laid by producers Organized Noize, Dallas Austin and Jermaine Dupri.

By linking the city?s rap scene with its historic civil rights roots, the film sets Atlanta?s southern breed of hip-hop apart from the coasts that alternately dominated the genre before the South?s rise.

The documentar also ties the local scene?s launch in 1982 ? when Mo-Jo became the first local rapper to release a record with ?Battmann: Let Mo-Jo Handle It? ? to the end of Atlanta?s Missing and Murdered Children case that plagued the city?s African-American community for four years before reportedly ending that same year.

In case you missed it, catch your ATL history lesson and watch the full episode of ‘ATL: The Untold Story of Atlanta?s Rise in the Rap Game’ below… Continue Reading…

Well, the former Xscape front woman is back with a new single entitled, “Complicated,” featuring Wale.

Ciara Rolls Over Hunger Literally as Atlanta Celebs Host Thanksgiving Skate Party… [PHOTOS]

Nov, 24 2011 | Written by ATLien

Ciara was the star of the skate party as she LITERALLY rolled into Atlanta?s historic Cascade Skating Rink in a wheelchair!

I don’t know the deal about CiCi and roller rink wheelchair, but I noticed she was rocking an orthopedic boot on both feet, so maybe she decided to get both bunions removed at both times (y’all know those Loubous are hell on the feet!) *shrug*

Just about every musical powerhouse in the city came through to taok a trip down memory lane, renting skates and hitting the rink on Thanksgiving Eve as DeVyne Intervention presented Roll Over Hunger: Celebrity & Charity Skate Jam.

The Roll Over Hunger event allowed Atlanta?s A-list to join forces with the community and have some good old- fashioned holiday fun, all in the name of helping the less fortunate.

Toya Wright and her hubby MempHitz brought out the entire fam! [Reginae was sporting all of the goodies she received from her birthday bash.]

Under the leadership of music mogul DeVyne Stephens and his DeVyne Intervention Foundation, thousands of dollars were raised to help feed Atlanta?s homeless. Funds for the evening benefited the Hosea Feed the Hungry Foundation Holiday Dinner Program; an annual program providing four major meal service events that support Atlanta homeless by serving over 200,000 hot meals each year. Charity efforts were especially needed this year as the foundation has continued to lose donations due to a struggling economy.

It was like a Bunche Middle School, Therrell/Doug/Mays High old school reunion as Big Boi and wife Sherlita Patton,? DJ Nabs, Polow Da Don, Raheem the Dream, DJ Toomp and all of my favorite A-town homies set up shop to chop it up.

Ludacris and his boo Eudoxie, T.I., Young Jeezy, Demetria McKinney, Toya, daughter Reginae and hubby Memphitz, Jazze Pha, Atlanta Hawks Josh Smith, Diamond, Producer Lil Ronnie, and Atlanta City Councilman Kwanza Hall also came through for the worthy cause.
