All of Atlanta came out to support Hot 107.9’s annual birthday bash last weekend. The event was somewhat long winded beginning around 5:30 and ending way past midnight but it was a total A-Town celebration. All eyes were on Young Jeezy and Gucci Mane, as everyone expected some kind of drama to pop off but fortunately there was only fun and music and no sounds of gunshots or knife wounds to report.
My birthday bash summary? Keri Hilson rocked a new doo, Lil Duval rocked a “Fake Ass Chain,”Plies blew $50,000 in ones, Trey Songz was caught “backstage pimpin”, and Jeezy and Gucci Mane avoided conflict. That’s about the jist of it. Oh yeah…and there was one helluva finale performance!
Peep a few videos of some of the hottest performances of the night, as well as more flix from Birthday Bash and the Zone 4 skybox party below:
Keri looked beautiful as always but her new doo almost got me in trouble:

Guess Who? The surprise guest of the night…
There were a few snoozers on the bill and one irate northern rapper *cough*<Fabolous> who felt slighted in his performance time:
I truly hate the politics of this industry.. Becuz if it wasnt 4 the politics i would do some crazy shit sometimes, so maybe its 4 the good. No disrespect to ATL or anyone who performed but.. It is what it is.. ~ Fabolous via Twitter
*sigh* Ummkay…but who really cares about all that! All I know is…Zone 4/Hittmenn DJ’s took care of me and few other ATL movers and shakers up in their exclusive Skybox Party with all the chicken wings and patron we could consume…
