Monica’s been adjusting to the life of a “basketball wife” but she’s also busy working on her new album.
Mo’s been in the studio grinding it out with the super producers Polow da Don and Missy Elliott, but also plans to work with Jermaine Dupri and Bryan-Michael Cox.
Monica recently went LIVE via her UStream channel to give fans a few details about her upcoming album… Continue Reading…
Usher Raymond was spotted chilling at Paris Fashion Week yesterday (June 23, 2010).
The superstar crooner was looking quite debonair as he viewed the Adam Kimel Menswear Spring/Summer 2012 line from the front row.
A few feet down from Ursh was none other than the queen of fashion himself, Kanye West, who was decked out in his Dallas Maverick’s hat along with his signature Jesus piece…. Continue Reading…
Ali, Quez and Strap, the three cuties known as Travis Porter took over Atlanta’s Lenox Square Mall a few days ago (June 14, 2011).
The trio hit the Apple store where they performed several of their hit songs and almost caused the upper level of Lenox Square to topple under the weight of all their anxious fans.
I was invited out to speak with Travis Porter but my experience with a member of their crew jaded me a lil bit and I decided to forgo our interview, rather than appear all salty on camera.
At the end of the day, the group themselves had absolutely nothing to do with their idiotic road manager, and I allowed my emotions to get in the way.
I actually like Travis Porter AND the music they make, so umma let bygones be bygones. [but if I ever catch that knee-grow on the street… <<< I kidd. I kidd]
Check out video of Travis Porter’s performance at the Apple store… Continue Reading…
Soulja Boy aka DeAndre Cortez Way definitely knows how to keep his name in your mouth.? This week… SB has followed Chris Brown’s lead and dyed his hair blond. *sigh*
The only difference is that Soulja Boy chose to bleach only the top portion of his head, in what some feel is his way of separating his look from CBreezy. But errr ummm… whatever makes you feel better.
SB stunned fans with a new Twitter icon where he was photographed rocking his new light bright, low-cut Caesar (with an immaculate hairline).
He also tweeted several other shots, one of which he is photographed holding the current issue of Fader Magazine, which he covers.
Soulja’s last “new doo” was a high top fade, as he was claiming to be the next 2pac in his own ATL version of “Juice”.
But the high top fade is gone and apparently blonde is the way to go these days…
Think Beyonce, Keri Hilson, Amber Rose, Chris Brown… hell, even Wiz Khalifa added splash of blonde to the front of his nappy fro! (Wiz discussed his blonde patch with me HERE).
I dunno about SB though…. I feel like this is just a cry for attention since no one fell for that Diamond thing (but what do I know?) *shrug*
Quinnes Parker (aka Q of 112) and his adorable son, Quinnes Jr., cover the May/June 2011 issue of Urban Lux magazine rocking their matching stunna shades.
About a month ago, Q hit the mic briefly during ATL Live on the Park’s 1 year anniversary, and gave the crowd a flashback to the 90’s by singing a few bars from 112’s “Only You” and now he has hit the blogs running with his own emotional rendition of Beyonce’s new single ?1+1?.

Erykah Badu was the special guest DeeJay last Friday (June 17, 2011) at a special edition of Euphoria at Harlem Nights nightclub in Atlanta.
The queen of neo-soul’s alter ego “DJ Lo Down Loretta Brown” rocked the mic all night long and entertained the crowd by mixing and scratching Erykah’s hits with classic hip-hop beats and more.
Who knew Badu was such a monster on the 1’s and 2’s?
Peep the video and witness DJ Lo Down Loretta Brown’s skills on the wheels of steel… Continue Reading…
