    As we all settle back into our random routines and reflect on yet another Labor Day holiday gone past, it seems there’s been some funny business going on that caught my attention.Jeezy Avion Patron

    It’s no big secret that companies tap artists to inject product placement ideas into some music… ?But I’m sure nobody knew how far the advertisement goes –particularly in hip-hop.

    [RANDOM: WTF?!? Dr. Diagnoses Woman with ‘Ghetto Booty’ (PHOTOS)]

    Today’s “hit” songs are nothing more than highly evolved advertisements that may be brainwashing you to drink, smoke or partake in activity’s unbecoming of your spirit, and your powerless to stop it.

    Research has revealed a very disturbing new trend in the music business.

    end of summer playlist straightfromthea

    Summer is almost over but we can still take advantage of the great weather for at least a few more weeks.

    That being said, AT&T has partnered with me to offer a few readers a nice end of Summer gift.

    With the end of summer rapidly approaching, it seems like the right time to look back at what songs dominated not only music charts, but our playlists.

    From Robin Thicke?s ?Blurred Lines? to Miley Cyrus? ?We Can?t Stop? (admit it… you love it!) and beyond, it?s pretty clear that our smartphones and iPods got a huge workout this summer.

    So in celebration of all things music, I’ve been asked?to entice readers to share their ultimate ?end of summer playlist? for a chance to win two great prizes.

    I have in my possession an?HTC One from AT&T?along with a?BeatboxTMPortable by Beats?to give away to two lucky winners.

    [Sidebar: After all, smartphones and portable speakers are a great way to take your favorite songs with you wherever you go ? from the backyard to the beach and beyond. Right?]

        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?
