    LaTocha Scott (Formerly of Xscape) Goes Glam… [PHOTOS + VIDEO]

    Sep, 17 2012 | Written by ATLien

    LaTocha Scott (formerly of Xscape) recently got all glammed up for a new photoshoot with photographer Calvin Evans.

    Yes… she’s still around, but every since Kandi Burruss made it quite clear that there will NEVER be an Xscape reunion (click here if you missed that), it seems the other ladies in the group can’t catch a break.

    LaTocha’s still grinding though and even released a new single a while ago…

    Jun, 27 2012 | Written by ATLien

    Remember Latocha Scott?

    [FLASHBACK: Where were you when you first heard Xscape’s “Understanding”? VIDEO]

    Well, the former Xscape front woman is back with a new single entitled, “Complicated,” featuring Wale.

    The track is from Tocha’s forthcoming mixtape Truth N’ The Booth and the song attempts to take us back to old school R&B with the vocalist singing about how the feelings she has for her man are “Complicated.”

    The song was written by Lundon & Chef Tone & produced by friend Grammy Award winning DJ Toomp (Heeeey Toompie!).

    Take a listen below and let me know what you think… Continue Reading…

    May, 17 2012 | Written by ATLien

    Kandi Burruss of The Real Housewives of Atlanta shared a few flashback photos earlier today (May 17, 2012).

    In the first photo (above) Kandi poses with R&B crooner Keith Sweat and her former girl group Xscape, which consisted of Tameka “Tiny” Harris and sisters LaTocha & Tamika Scott.

    Here’s Xscape with @OGKeithSweat before we got our deal with SoSoDef.

    Please don’t hold your breath waiting for that Xscape reunion though. Kandi has publicly said (on more than one occasion) that there will NEVER be an Xscape reunion because of too much bad blood between a few of it’s members.

    Tameka ‘Tiny” Cottle and Kandi Burruss cover this month’s issue of Rolling out magazine. The two former Xscape bandmates are still great friends (despite what you may have heard) and both have recently ventured into the world of reality television. Tiny’s “The Tiny & Toya Show” on BET is way better than most expected, giving us an up close and personal look into her family life alongside hitmaker T.I.? Kandi came in as a Freshman to a crew of Seniors on Bravo’s “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” and has been catching mad flack about her relationship with a fiance’ who already has 6 kids.

        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?
