  • Birthday Bash 17: T.I. Brings Out Usher, Lil Wayne & Kelly Rowland & More… [PHOTOS + VIDEOS]

    Jun, 18 2012 | Written by ATLien

    Clifford “T.I.” Harris totally took over Atlanta radio station Hot 107.9’s Birthday Bash 17 this year and on Saturday night (June 16, 2012) he brought out all of his friends!

    As the self-proclaimed “king of the south,” Tip brought out a slew of ?high-profile guests for the biggest night in southern hip-hop.

    The annual concert, held at Atlanta?s Phillips Arena, ?featured a long list of acts including Rick Ross, Gucci Mane, Future, Travis Porter, Ca$h Out, and a surprising ?A-Town Classic? set which featured hometown acts like Dem Franchize Boyz, Trillville, Crime Mob (yes Diamond & Princess reunited onstage), Lil? Jon and Lil? Scrappy.

    Despite the star studded line up, it was Tip who stole the stage as he surprised fans with appearances during his closing act by bringing out Lil? Wayne, Usher, Kelly Rowland, Nelly, Young Jeezy, and Chief Keef.

    When Tip brought out Lil? Wayne, he allowed the YMCMB bossman to take over for a moment as Wayne performed ?Motivation? onstage with Kelly Rowland (LIVE for the first-time ever).

    This one will go down in the history books!

    In case you missed Birthday Bash this year, or simply want to reminisce, view photos + videos of just about all of the acts below… Continue Reading…

        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. 👽🛸

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?
