There was a whole lot going on at Luckie Food Lounge last night. Not only was it DJ Trauma’s birthday celebration, but apparently Jeremih (Birthday Sex) was holding an industry meet & greet on the same night. It was definitely an overbooked location and I’m sure you’ve already read or heard about the violence that turned a positive evening into a news event. Prior to all the drama outside and besides the fact that Luckie’s a/c was on ‘HELL’ it was fun fun fun for all! Ludacris, Super-producers Jermaine Dupri and Jazze Phae and Drumma Boy from BET’s Dreamland, Ludacris, Chaka (President of DTP), Estelle, Jeremih, Young Jeezy, DJ Drama, DJ Toomp, Kandi Burress (Housewives of Atlanta) all flowed through in support of your boy Trauma….or was it for Jeremih.
Check out a few quick flix from the event:

Vibe Magazine’s VSessions LIVE! hit Atlanta last night. The event, hosted by Kenny Burns featured DJ Don Cannon on the 1’s and 2’s and brought several celebrity supporters out to The Loft to showcase up and coming artists.
“The whole VSessions was created to pass the torch in a way to other artists,” says Burns. “You have Disturbing the Peace, Asylum and Warner Brothers artists — it’s about showcasing the talent that’s emerging on the scene today. This [is] where the music is really happening,” he says. “All of the music is coming out of Atlanta, all of the singers, producers and songwriters. Athletes are moving here during the off-season and making their permanent home, so the shoe fits.”
Disturbing Tha Peace’s Rudy Currence, singer/songwriter Julie Dexter, Warner Records’ Teairra Mari and Grand Hustle’s Yung LA were the featured performers but Ludacris, Slim (of 112), Yung Joc, American Yard and more were spotted at the event. Check out a few photos below:

I’ve actually always liked Teairra Mari and I heard she put it down last night! I’m so upset that I couldn’t make it out but Twitter came to my rescue with a few entertaining play by plays:
