The 4-member band, named after Atlanta’s Hamilton Park Recreation Center, the spot where the members honed their vocal skills, spent vigorous hours learning their strengths and weaknesses as a group, and building camaraderie & teamwork on the basketball court, are on a mission to bring back “real” r&b love songs, , drawing comparisons to hometown platinum-selling groups 112, Jagged Edge and the 1990s group Jodeci.
The group is currently on The Scream tour alongside Mindless Behavior and Diggy Simmons and each of the four members of Hamilton Park brought along a set of their own special talents:
Royce P sings with undeniable conviction and passion, engaging listeners with his serious tone that beams from his eyes; Anthony bellows with hope, leading listeners into an optimistic retreat;
Mr. Marcus Lee speaks the truth with his soulful array of salacious words; and
Chris Voice touches the heart with his silky, inspiring words.
I ganked the description above from Hamilton Park’s artist bio… but I promise you it’s true.
I had the pleasure of finding out up close & personal during lunch with the up & coming boy band a few days ago when they shocked me with an impromptu acapella serenade in the middle of Houston’s… Continue Reading…

Well StraightFromTheA.com is giving away a pair of tickets to Jay & Yeezy’s ATLANTA concert, which will be held on FRIDAY October 28, 2011.


You read it here first that Marlo was going to be a new edition to the RHOA cast and she was often seen taping with the ladies over the summer.
Marlo even traveled with the ladies on their South African get-away, so we all just KNEW she was made in the shade. Even the AJC fell for it…
[READ: Confirmed Marlo Hampton is Atlanta’s Newest Housewife…]
But as I said in my first post, no papers had been signed so Marlo was merely being tested and apparently she failed… miserably!
Marlo may tell you differently (she’s been telling everyone she talks to that she’s a Real Housewife of Atlanta) BUT rewind… pause… backup!
Since I never want to be accused of spreading the wrong information, I want to be the first to set the record straight about Marlo Hampton!

Wendy played the infamous video and walked fans through each frame of the video, giving a play by play.? She did a ‘baby bump sit down test’ with two of her staffers who are actually pregnant. 
One of Wendy?s pregnant staffers is due to deliver February, 2012 (the same month that Bey is reportedly due) and she shows a 5 month pregnant woman would actually sit.
[Sidebear: I know y’all hate to admit it, but SandraRose may have actually called it from the beginning when she posted that Beyonce’s baby bump was fake right after the VMA’s.]
Watch video of Wendy Williams’ “baby bump fail” experiment below: Continue Reading…

The 6th annual event coincided with the BET Hip-Hop Awards weekend and other attendees included Memphitz & Toya, Carlysia Levert (daughter of the late Gerald Levert), SoSo Def’s Dondria, Tiffany Evans and more.
It’s not secret that Phaedra and Apollo are my favorite RHOA couple. I was rooting for a P&A spin-off but I guess Kim, NeNe and ‘nem have reality show seniority over the high powered entertainment attorney/funeral parlor entrepreneur.
You may have heard by now that the newly engaged Kim Zolciak has her own show (that’s already in production), Kandi Burruss has her own show (where she’ll be making more one hit wonders), and NeNe Leakes was granted her own show too (that starts taping soon).
That leaves Phaedra, Sheree & Cynthia (and Marlo) to all fend for themselves and I vote that they recruit a few new “housewives” for the show. Ya know… to add some more fresh faces to the crew.
[Sidebar: Tameka Foster Glover Raymond gets my vote!]
