    Dec, 6 2012 | Written by ATLien

    Fresh off the court from last night’s win against the Denver Nuggets, Atlanta Hawk’s power forward Josh Smith hit up Atlanta’s STK to celebrate his 27th birthday (December 5, 2012).

    Smith, who arrived fashionably late with his wife by his side, took over the entire high-priced eatery as he popped bottles and partied the night away.

    In addition to several of Smith’s Atlanta Hawks team mates, the usual cast of characters were spotted at the event.

    Comedian Kevin Hart, Jermaine Dupri, Jazze Pha all came out to party, as well as Tameka Foster Raymond.

    SFTA Flashback! “Happy Hour” ~ Jazze Pha ft. Ceelo Green [OFFICIAL VIDEO]

    Mar, 27 2012 | Written by ATLien

    Some songs make you happy for no reason at all… and Jazze Pha‘s “Happy Hour” featuring Ceelo Green is one of ’em.

    The song, one of my personal favs, premiered in 2005 and back then, the duo described the mellow track as an invitation to hit the bars and get happy.

    You’ve been working all day, it’s only right to unwind with us. Have some apple martinis, cosmos, pina coladas.

    If those sound like ladies drinks it’s because we are ladies men!

    Take a walk down memory lane with the official video for Jazze Pha’s “Happy Hour” ft. Ceelo below… Continue Reading…

    Ciara Rolls Over Hunger Literally as Atlanta Celebs Host Thanksgiving Skate Party… [PHOTOS]

    Nov, 24 2011 | Written by ATLien

    Ciara was the star of the skate party as she LITERALLY rolled into Atlanta?s historic Cascade Skating Rink in a wheelchair!

    I don’t know the deal about CiCi and roller rink wheelchair, but I noticed she was rocking an orthopedic boot on both feet, so maybe she decided to get both bunions removed at both times (y’all know those Loubous are hell on the feet!) *shrug*

    Just about every musical powerhouse in the city came through to taok a trip down memory lane, renting skates and hitting the rink on Thanksgiving Eve as DeVyne Intervention presented Roll Over Hunger: Celebrity & Charity Skate Jam.

    The Roll Over Hunger event allowed Atlanta?s A-list to join forces with the community and have some good old- fashioned holiday fun, all in the name of helping the less fortunate.

    Toya Wright and her hubby MempHitz brought out the entire fam! [Reginae was sporting all of the goodies she received from her birthday bash.]

    Under the leadership of music mogul DeVyne Stephens and his DeVyne Intervention Foundation, thousands of dollars were raised to help feed Atlanta?s homeless. Funds for the evening benefited the Hosea Feed the Hungry Foundation Holiday Dinner Program; an annual program providing four major meal service events that support Atlanta homeless by serving over 200,000 hot meals each year. Charity efforts were especially needed this year as the foundation has continued to lose donations due to a struggling economy.

    It was like a Bunche Middle School, Therrell/Doug/Mays High old school reunion as Big Boi and wife Sherlita Patton,? DJ Nabs, Polow Da Don, Raheem the Dream, DJ Toomp and all of my favorite A-town homies set up shop to chop it up.

    Ludacris and his boo Eudoxie, T.I., Young Jeezy, Demetria McKinney, Toya, daughter Reginae and hubby Memphitz, Jazze Pha, Atlanta Hawks Josh Smith, Diamond, Producer Lil Ronnie, and Atlanta City Councilman Kwanza Hall also came through for the worthy cause.

    Grand Hustle Celebrates T.I.’s Homecoming With AKOO Brunch… [PHOTOS]

    Oct, 3 2011 | Written by ATLien

    As BET Hip-Hop awards weekend came to a welcome end, Clifford “T.I.” Harris held is annual post-show brunch.

    This year Grand Hustle’s brunch was a bit different.

    With his wife Tameka “Tiny” Cottle-Harris by his side the entire weekend, Tip hosted a slew of parties virtually drama free and stacked quite a bit of cash.

    As you know he’d been released from federal custody just days before, so this year’s Brunch was treated as a celebratory “coming home” of sorts.

    Only a few days free, Tip had already conducted a few interviews, dropped a new song, hit the stage during the BET Hip Hop Awards (sneak peek video) alongside Jeezy and pocketed a ton of dough hosting parties.

    [READ: T.I. Speaks! 1st Radio Interview Since Prison Release + New Music “I’m Flexin”]

    There were plenty of supporters in the house for T.I., including Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed, Real “Housewife”/Attorney Phaedra Parks and her hubby Apollo Nida, Nelly, Antonia “Toya” Wright, Dj Toomp, Heavy D, Rocko, and the list goes on.

    Noticeably absent from the event was Sean “Diddy” Combs, who’s Ciroc branded vodka was one of the event’s sponsors. I’m assuming he was still a bit salty after Tip issued that verbal smack down at the club the night before… but I’m sure he’ll get over it one day.

        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. 👽🛸

        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?
