So here it is…NO MERCY, the most honest and intimate installment of my life story as promised. Hope y’all enjoy it and it lives up to the very high standards I’ve set for myself or anyone who’s to be considered one of the best. I must admit it takes a lot to go through as much as I have and still keep the love in your heart and in your art. But at the end of the day, if that’s what it takes to produce the music that keeps the world of hip-hop evolving on it’s axis….Then even the lowest of the lows of my life was all worth it.

Thanks again for your prayers, your time and attention. And remember….It does’nt matter how long it’ll be before the next time you see me. What matters is that I’ll be a better man before that time comes. The longer I sit, the smarter I get.

I’d like to give a vey special thank you to all the fans who’ve been writing me and lifting my spirits everyday. I read all of them. Continue Reading…

Mugshot Mania ~ Fat Shoplifters…

Dec, 8 2010 | Written by ATLien

Meet Shmeco Thomas, 37 and? Ailene Brown, 28.? These two women will forever go down in history as the “Fat Shoplifters”…

Using their body fat to hide the stolen goods, the two women allegedly swiped at least $2,600 worth of merchandise from an Oklahoma TJ Maxx before being caught in the act.

Officer James Hamm said the two put items in “areas of their body where excess skin was” including “under their chest and armpits.” One of the women, Hamm said, tried to smuggle three pairs of boots underneath her breasts. 😕

In total, the roly-poly robbers tried to heist four pairs of boots, three pairs of jeans a wallet and a pair of gloves… all concealed in their fat rolls!

Cops say Brown used a knife to slice off security tags during their attempted heist. Both women were arrested for shoplifting and face felony charges. (source)

Dec, 8 2010 | Written by ATLien
