  • Kanye Covers Details + New Video ~ “Welcome to Heartbreak” feat. Kid Cudi

    Feb, 18 2009 | Written by ATLien

    Kayne West covers the March 2009 of Detail Magazine looking mad fly. He has absolutely no reason to get mad about this cover cause we can’t see the ‘grey in his beard‘ this time. In the feature, Ye speaks on being seen as narcissistic and self-absorbed and also talks about being the voice of a generation:

    ?If not me, then who? Someone could be a better rapper, dance better. But culturally impacting? When you look back at these four and a half years, who?s the icon at the end of the day? Who broke down color barriers? What other black guy would a white person use as a fashion reference??

    Peep the entire interview over at Details Magazine.

    Kanye also just dropped his latest video for “Welcome to Heartbreak” featuring Kid Cudi on his blog this morning but claims he only released it because it has some new technology in he wanted to be the first to use it:

    This is not the next single, “Amazing” is the next single. This is the video we’ve been working on for the last month.

    We know there is another video out there using the same technique so we were forced to drop it now.

    It’s directed by Nabil Elderki, the person who also directed Kanye’s Champion video (remember the puppets?). Anywhoo…check out the new video below:

    I can’t even keep track of how many songs have ‘leaked’ from Ciara’s upcoming Fantasy Ride project. Like for real… how many is it?? At any rate, check out this new snippit produced by Polow Da Don, entitled “I’m A G”

    Hot/Not? Who knows? I’m suffering from Ciara Fantasy Ride overload… *sigh*

    Fantasy Ride should be in stores April 7th.

    Spotted ~ Usher Leaving Brazilian Hospital/Headed Back to the States

    Feb, 18 2009 | Written by ATLien

    Usher Raymond was spotted leaving the Sirio-Libanes Hospital in Sao Paulo Brazil after a visit to his wife Tameka last weekend. A Brazilian news outlet reports that Mrs. Raymond, who is still in the hospital after suffering cardiac arrest that occurred during a plastic surgery procedure over a week ago, is still recovering and is taking antibiotics to fight a lung infection, somewhat common in these cases.

    Although he spent most of his time at the hospital with Tameka, Ursh was still able to do a bit of Brazillian sight-seeing, as he was photographed walking around Sao Paulo’s Jardins neighborhood and doing a little shopping with a pal over the weekend.

    I’m confident Tameka’s condition is improving since her hubby was spotted on his way back to the U.S. yesterday. That’s a good sign that things should be back to normal in the Raymond household soon. My prayers are with them and their family.

    The “A” Pod ~ “I Like Dem Girls” ~ Gorilla Zoe

    Feb, 17 2009 | Written by ATLien

    Gorilla Zoe likes girls who like girls and he likes to sing about it. In his new song “I Like Dem Girls” produced by Drumma Boy from his upcoming Don’t Feed The Animals project, Zoe lays it down once again with his gruff vocals and it actually works. I’m getting a Prince circa 1989 feel to this track. I can only imagine the video. I’m picturing Wendy & Lisa on the keyboards and a newly slimmed down Gorilla Zoe in backless pants and purple ruffles. I kidd…I kidd!

    Check it out below and let me know what you think:

    Hot New Artist Alert! ~ Laura Izibor

    Feb, 17 2009 | Written by ATLien

    Meet Laura Izibor. Ms. Izibor, hot new songstress from Atlantic Records has been making mad waves in the music industry with her soulful vocals and lyricism. She’s been named ‘Artist to Watch’ by both Vibe Magazine and Rolling Stone. I had the pleasure of witnessing Laura’s live performance a few nights ago and I can honestly say she earned both of those titles.

    Born to a working class family in Dublin, Ireland, Izibor admits she didn?t grow up in a musical household.? ?My mother raised five kids on her own, so there wasn?t much time to buy records ? it wasn?t that kind of home.? I found myself fancying music at about 13.? Once the love for musicians like Stevie Wonder, Candi Stanton, and Roberta Flack took hold, she was smitten for good.? ?One door opened to the next ? first I discovered Marvin Gaye, and then Otis Redding, and I just fell in love with soul music.? Full Bio (word file)

    The 20 year old musical sensation is set to drop her first cd April 28th entitled, Let The Truth Be Told.? Check out her first single, “From My Heart to Yours” as well as a live performance of “Don’t Stay” below:

        Straight From the A to the Hall of Fame! This one Straight From the A to the Hall of Fame! This one hits different. 👽🛸

OutKast’s induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame 2025 isn’t just a win for hip-hop — it’s a celebration of Atlanta’s heartbeat. Before there was Real Housewives, Love & Hip Hop, or any Atlanta reality show, there was the Atlanta music scene — real stories, real people, and a creative energy that could only come from the Southside.

I grew up in Southwest Atlanta, and back then, it wasn’t unusual to bump into (or run with) the same circles as OutKast and the Dungeon Family. We were all just young ATL dreamers finding our voices, our style, and our lane. Somewhere along the way, I kinda inserted myself as an unofficial member of that crew, a sister to the culture, always front and center, documenting the movement before “content creator” was even a thing.

When I started blogging in 2007, Straight From The A wasn’t about reality TV or viral gossip. It was about the music, the movement, and the people who put Atlanta on the map. My blog name, my pen name ATLien, my whole digital identity was inspired by @outkast , @goodiemob , @killermike , @ceelogreen @sleepybrown , and the whole Dungeon Family - the original ATLiens who made the world respect the South. 

And Killer Mike — I’ll never forget how you encouraged me to keep pushing nearly 20 years ago when blogging was still that “weird internet thing.”

Today, I celebrate the legends who defined Atlanta’s sound, spirit, and swagger. True innovators. True visionaries. Forever ATL. 👽🛸

After all that eviction tea, the doors are locked and lights out. Big shoutout to @millichun for sliding by to check out the scene! 

Is Kenya really Gone With the Rent? Or is Friday her off day? 👀

        The Kenya Moore Hair Spa drama just got even MESSI The Kenya Moore Hair Spa drama just got even MESSIER, chile! 
The landlord has officially clapped back in court — filing their answer to Kenya’s counterclaim, and whew, they brought receipts on receipts! 

According to the filing, Kenya hasn’t paid a dime in rent or utilities since December 2024, which technically makes her a squatter! 😬 And about that $80K tenant improvement allowance she’s been fighting for? The landlord says she’s in default and violated several terms, meaning that deal is void.

This whole thing is turning into a Bravo-level courtroom saga… minus the peach! 🍑

The full 99-page amended complaint (with all the juicy details) is available now on Patreon + Members Only! http://patreon.com/atlien or hit the link in bio for the exclusive legal tea.

So what do y’all think? Can Kenya spin this, or is the Hair Spa officially a wrap?

She said “one closing down, more to come” — so is this a boss move or a sign she’s liquidating assets after that prenup drama?
