O.S.A.M. ~ MrJonz: An ATLien with ‘Flo-Rida’ Connections

Mar, 20 2009 | Written by ATLien

I?m Grown Folks. I can go (1,2) waaaaayyyy back in this town. So, while I appreciate a good new release, I tend to listen to Grown Folks Music more often than not. One of my favorite songs by Grown Folks Artist Al Jarreau starts with these words:

Billy Jones is a mover

and he has a million plans.

Wants to be the big improver;

wants to be a wealthy man.

There are days when Billy loses hope,

days when hope loses him.

He prays he can just hold out

and one day he will win.

– from ?Wait For The Magic? off Jarreau’s Tenderness album

One of my favorite Grown Folks Straight From The A is MrJonz. Who is MrJonz you ask? He’s an Atlanta music producer who’s worked with artists from DJ Kizzy Rock to Jamie Foxx and most recently Flo-Rida. You may not have heard his name but I’m sure you’ve heard his music.

Me and MrJonz had a little conversation the other day about his roots, his wings and his Atlanta. Check out your weekly Atlanta history lesson in the transcript below: Continue Reading…

Flashback Video ~ “Yearnin” ~ DJ Taz

Mar, 20 2009 | Written by ATLien

I know y’all don’t know nutthin bout DJ Taz…or maybe you do. But if you were anywhere NEAR Atlanta in the 90’s then almost everyone song you heard carried a DJ Taz beat. He worked with Kilo Ali, Raheem the Dream and a ton of other A-town producers like DJ Toomp, Cooly C, DJ Kizzy Rock, MC Shy D and on and on. Now I think he’s working somewhere behind the scenes but can’t nothing compare to those old school booty shakin’ days. Even the love songs were crunk! So sit back click “play” and reminisce with me about the days of flowing flourescent satin shirts and big “A”zz cell phones. Enjoy!

Video ~ Ludacris & Shawnna Announce “Battle of the Sexes”

Mar, 19 2009 | Written by ATLien

Ludacris and Shawnna were spotted chillin and enjoying all this “A” town sunshine recently while on the set of the new Playaz Circle video shoot in College Park. Luda announced that the war is on and to stay tuned for a DTP “Battle of the Sexes” album in 2009.? In each song will carry the female vs. the male perspective and Luda and Shawna will battle it out.? Should be good…

RHOA Alumni Update ~ DeShawn Snow

Mar, 19 2009 | Written by ATLien

Everyone wants to know what’s up with DeShawn Snow. Y’ll remember her don’t you? The only true “housewife” featured on Bravo’s The Real Housewives of Atlanta, who just happened to be booted off of the show because she was too well adjusted (i.e. boring). Well, DeShawn is still pursuing her path to righteousness by obtaining her Masters of Divinity degree. She’s still managing her foundation and has also started writing her own sermons.? Loyal reader KRSWon sent over her most recent piece yesterday called Turning Your Trials into Triumps. Here’s a sample below:

Whatever situation you are in, you are equipped to handle it.? God would not allow you to be in something that you cannot handle.? According to the Bible, you have the ability to turn your defeat into victory and your trial into triumph.? Instead of being a victim, you can become a victor (James 1:2-8).

When you face the trials of life, you should evaluate them in the light of what God is doing for you.? Therefore when trials come, you should immediately give thanks to the Lord and adopt a joyful attitude.? It may not be easy to do, but just look at your trials through the eyes of faith.

Outlook determines outcome and attitude determines action. (Read More)

The new season hasn’t even started yet and I already miss DeShawn. I’m sure Kandi Burress will be an exciting replacement but DeShawn added a bit of balance to all the craziness that may be lacking next season. Y’all just watch. DeShawn’s gonna end up with her own show on The Bible Network and she’ll be saving souls while the other “housewives” are still talking ish and losing their properties! With God on your side who can be against you?!?

You can keep up with DeShawn via her official website. Tell her ATLien said “Wassup!” 🙂

Video ~ B.o.B.’s Back!

Mar, 19 2009 | Written by ATLien

B.o.B. explains to MTV news about his trials and tribulations in the music industry. He states that he didn’t quit but he had to learn how to accept the politics of the music industry.

Maybe he read my letter…maybe not, but the truth of the matter is he’s back and we’re VERY happy about it!

Check out a recent video of Bobby Ray and Alien (the hottest drummer alive) performing below:

Spotted @ NahRight

By the way…can someone please tell Alien I’m still waiting for my mutha-Effin t-shirt! 😆

Video ~ AlfaMega’s Back From “Vacation” and Speaking Up On Y’all Internet Gangstas

Mar, 19 2009 | Written by ATLien

I haven’t seen AlfaMega around in a minute and wondered about him a few weeks ago on TWITTER. Someone must have heard me ask about him cause he just did a lil video drop from *cough* an “undisclosed location” where he gives Tip a bit of advice about serving his time and also speaks about fake “A”zz internet gangstas. Alfa says he’s been on “vacation” and we all know what that means, but I guess he’ll be back soon enough…

Big ups to worldstarhiphop for the video!
