    DaBrat Does DRAG! Rocks Dresses & Heels in VIBE… [PHOTOS]

    Jul, 25 2011 | Written by ATLien

    Shaunte Harris aka DaBrat recently got all “Fem’d” up for a photoshoot for VIBE Magazine’s Summer of Celeb’s in Swimwear issue…

    No, she’s not overexposed in a cut-out swimsuit or vintage bikini. Instead, she’s donning casual chic summer wear that’s appropriate for all types of summer fun.

    In maxi dresses, khaki shorts and an oversized cream-colored blouse, Da Brat rocks a head full of bodaciously brown curls and really exudes a soft, yet sultry demeanor.? Appropriate? Most definitely.

    I can just hear her PR now… “Girrrrrl if you wanna get ’em talkin’ WEAR A DRESS!”

    Welp… it worked!? More photos below… Continue Reading…

    Da Brat Writes Autobiography + Dreams of Reality Show?

    Jul, 22 2011 | Written by ATLien

    Since getting home from serving her 3 year bid, DaBrat (who recently ripped the stage during the Car & Bike show in Atlanta) seems to be getting back in the full swing things.

    The “funkdafied” rap star did an interview with CNN, where she discussed reviving her music career, writing a book, her dreams of a reality show and more.

    Brat explains that in her book, she talks about her background and her path towards So So Def history:

    The book is pretty much about myself as a child, growing up in church and the different things I encountered like being in a gang and trying to sell drugs.

    All the little things that led up to me going to that Kriss Kross concert in 1992, rapping on stage, going to the Oprah Winfrey show, meeting Jermaine Dupri and all of the things that led up to that.

    Jun, 22 2011 | Written by ATLien

    Da Brat aka Shawntae Harris rocked a new Mohawk doo, as she played host to an all girl mixtape party recently.

        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. 👽🛸

        🚨 UPDATE: Kenya Moore’s Hair Spa is still clo 🚨 UPDATE: Kenya Moore’s Hair Spa is still closed as of today *Nov 7, 2025! 

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?
