Princess (Crime Mob), Plies, ATLien
Plies hosted a private listening party Monday (Dec. 1st) at Atlanta’s Patchwerk Studios for his upcoming album, “Da Realest”, and I can honestly say he got me. ?I’ve never been a big fan of Plies (please hold your fire) because I’m not really into all that goon buisness, but after meeting him and hearing the sincerity in his voice I’m finally a fan. ?
Plies began the listening session with a special shout out to all of the invited attendees. ?As we all sat and waited patiently to roast him, he greeted us all warmly and?humbly?thanked us for taking time out of our busy schedules to attend. ?He mentioned how blessed he was to be in a situation where he no longer had to worry about feeding his kids and taking care of his family.

Young Jeezy‘s president is Black & his?Lamborghini really is blue! ?I spotted Jeezy getting his thug swagger on yesterday as he shopped at a downtown Atlanta location known for their large selection of kicks. I just happened to be walking down the street when I noticed his blue Lambo parked outside the trendy spot. ?Jeezy appeared moments later chatting on his cell as two of his boys helped him with several shopping bags.?((Side Note: It took 2 cars to transport all of Jeezy’s kicks & gear!!)) ??LMAO at dude’s t-shirt…how appropriate! 😆
Being that I’m ALWAYS prepared for whatever, I discretely snapped a few shots from across the street: Continue Reading…
I got a chance to hang out with Monica during Ben Hill Day 2008. For those of you who don?t know, Ben Hill Day is a day set aside in Atlanta to celebrate the Southside and each year it gets bigger and bigger.
