    Chris Brown is a changed man and he’s singing about it. A leaked song appeared over the weekend where C-Breezy sings about how everybody hates Chris but he’s changed and is gonna “make it up to you.” Initially his label sent out a message that this song was old and had nothing to do with the Rihanna drama, but a few sources say the song is legit. Check it out below:

    Changed Man ~ Chris Brown

    Free - Droppin that Thang remix

    I heard Free’s version of The Dream’s “Rockin That Thang” last night while in my car. I totally fell in love with it! In her version Free’s telling her man to “beat it like a drum” and sings his praises as he follows her instructions. Check it out below:

    Polow Da Don’s new artist Ester Dean’s “Drop it Low” which features the newly remodeled Chris Brown and the hawt new song will also be featured in the new LeBron James basketball film “More Than a Game”:

    The “A” Pod ~ “Drop it Low” ~ Ester Dean (Prod. by Polow Da Don)

    Aug, 12 2009 | Written by ATLien

    1628-300x300

    I’m so mad I’ve been sitting on this dayum sample cd! Absolutely furious! My patnah nem, Kaspa Da Don of Zone 4, Inc. shot me this new joint from a new singer/songwriter named Ester Dean, the newest artist signed to Polow Da Don’s? label. Anywhoo….I don’t play favorites so I didn’t even think to listen to it. Funny thing is, I was sitting in the car yesterday and heard this hot “A”zz beat on the radio. I used my trusty Shazam iPhone application to discover the name of the song and it turns out it was non other than Ester Dean. The same song that was on the disc sitting under the seat of my car! *sigh*

    Take a listen Ester Dean’s “Drop it Low” (produced by Polow Da Don) below. Polow put his foot in this dayum track!

    The moral of this story? Listen to your friends. Sometimes they give you good sh*t on purpose! Download link below: Continue Reading…

    Lil Wayne’s hot new protege Shanell is totally blowing everyone away during the America’s Most Wanted tour! Shanell aka SNL (sister of former Danity Kane member D. Woods) is so talented that she’s on tour with heavyweights like Wayne and Young Jeezy without even an album out! She does, however, have a new mixtape coming out soon and is also set to release a full album in 2010. Shanell performed her new song “Play in my Band” onstage and showcased her starpower.

    The “A” Pod ~ “My Patna Dem” + “Wassup” ~ Rich Kid$

    Aug, 10 2009 | Written by ATLien

    richkids

    If you haven’t heard of the Rich Kid$ yet you may just need to get out more often. Not 1 but TWO Rich Kid$ singles have been getting mad airplay in the “A” and they have been coined the next musical movement from Atlanta. Comprised of members: Rashard, Babe Kaelub, Baby Charles, Lil Juney and Skool Boy, The Rich Kids have the Atlanta underground music-scene going nuts. The group is a collection of all-star talent from Atlanta’s own Frederick Douglass, Westlake and Southside High Schools (APS stand up!!) and the two hit singles bubbling in Atlanta are the melodic “Wassup” and the club-banger “My Patna Dem”. Check em both out below:

    “Wassup” ~ Download

    “My Patna Dem” ft. Young Dro ~ Download

    The group’s first mixtape entitled “Money Swag” is hosted by DJ Infamous and you can download it right here under the cut:

    The “A” Pod ~ “LOL Smiley Face” ~ Trey Songz ft. Gucci Mane & SouljaBoy

    Aug, 7 2009 | Written by ATLien

    Trey_Songz_comp

    I’m feeling some kinda way about this new joint from Trey Songz. “LOL Smiley Face” is addictive but hearing Gucci Mane rap about smiley faces just messed me up a lil bit. Not saying that there’s anything wrong with men who text cute lil sayings…hell I love that ish! But it’s just making me realize how the phone is becoming almost obsolete. We text, email, twitter and facebook each other to death without ever having to say a word out loud. The art of conversation is sometimes lost in the translation. I dunno….maybe it’s just me being all nostalgic and stuff since I’m about to be a year older but knee-grows making songs out of nursery rhymes talkin bout smiley faces has me a bit tickled today.

    The “A” Pod ~ SouljaBoy Covers “Successful”

    Aug, 5 2009 | Written by ATLien

    Souljaboy (aka DeAndre Way) has jumped on Drake’s “Successful” track to spill all his emotions about what’s been going on during his fast track to fame. In the song, SB talks about how he’s realizing that “true happiness” can only be found inside of you. (My boo is growing up!)? Does that mean that the days of Gucci Bandanas and Farrari’s are over? Hhmph! Prolly not…but at least he’s on the road to self discovery.

        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?
