  • The Motto ~ Drake ft. Lil Wayne & Tyga [OFFICIAL VIDEO]

    Dec, 23 2011 | Written by ATLien

    Drake releases the visual for his hot single “The Motto” just in time for your Christmas eve get-together! Woo-hooo!

    I love this song and if you’re like me, listening to it with earphones will make your right leg twitch like “Niggas in Paris” did that dude on the NYC subway .? But I digress….

    Aubrey teams of with his Young Money bossman Lil Wayne and fellow YMCMB member Tyga for the video as the three pay homage to the Bay area.? He also tributes slain West Coast rap legend Mac Dre, by featuring his mom as the intro to the video.


    “We only life once… that’s the motto!”

    Of course a video shot in the Bay wouldn?t be official without E-40, who makes a cameo alongside Mistah FAB.

    Drake is from Toronto, Wayne is from New Orleans, and Tyga is from Compton, but they show much love to the Bay as Drizzy drives around with plenty of scenic shots using the beautiful Golden Gate bridge as a backdrop.

    “Headlines” ~ Drizzy Drake… [OFFICIAL VIDEO]

    Oct, 3 2011 | Written by ATLien

    Drake releases his newest video for ?Headlines,? the first single from his sophomore album Take Care, due October 24.

    The Young Money standout rounds up his OVO (October’s Very Own) crew in front of the historic Guild in his hometown of Toronto, Canada.

    Drake also shows off his stable of Range Rovers, takes the field at Toronto?s Rogers Centre as Take Care lights up behind him on the marquee, and toasts to the good life with his crew rocking his now signature cosby sweater while smoking a cigar…


    I love it! 🙂

    Drake Reveals “Take Care” Album Cover + Sends Message to Fans…

    Sep, 24 2011 | Written by ATLien

    Aubrey “Drake” Graham hit up his blog recently to reveal the artwork for his upcoming album “Take Care”.

    Take special note of the intricate artwork and gold table embellishments… there’s a lil touch of Kanye in almost every detail.? Oh… and the gold owl signifies OVO (October’s Very Own) ~ all of Drake’s homies born in the month of October.

    Oh you fancy huh… Drake?

    Drizzy also takes a moment to send his fans a very heartwarming message about the anticipated release date of the album:

    Feels like it’s been so long. Is life moving so fast in this generation that when we desire something it begins to move in slow motion? Are we just used to getting what we want right away? Or do we require one another to feel right about all that is going on around us?

    Maybe our anticipation is justified by the fact that we genuinely cannot wait to share a moment again? Either way, your life and mine are scheduled to meet on October 24…I wouldn’t miss it for the world.

    See you soon.

    Drake

    That dayum Drake is just so sensitive…. *swoon*

    Drake ~ “Marvin’s Room” ~ OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO

    Jun, 28 2011 | Written by ATLien

    Drake may be pissed about Universal pulling all of his leaked tracks off the net, but he continues the mission of spreading his music by being a one-man promo machine for his highly anticipated album Take Care.

    Out of nowhere… the video for Drake’s hot song “Marvin’s Room” appears… and it looks like it was shot in the dark with a flip cam…


    Drake (and his beard) gives us a pretty literal interpretation of his “Marvin’s Room” lyrics (about drinking heavily and pining over a woman he knows he shouldn?t be dealing with in the first place).

    Watch the OFFICIAL video for Drake’s “Marvin’s Room” below… Continue Reading…

    Pick One: Kanye’s Slippers, Drake’s Velour or Chris Brown’s Skinny Jeans… [PHOTOS]

    Jun, 7 2011 | Written by ATLien

    Three well known male artists… three totally different looks.

    Kanye West rocks a pair of suede slippers, Drake rocks a hot “A”zz velour jogging suit & Timbos in the middle of Summer and Chris Brown never leaves home without his skinny jeans.

    Take your pick!

    Let’s start with Yeezy….

    First of all Kanye West doesn’t give a dayum about what we think!

    Yeezy dictates his own style by pulling a few key pieces from the past… most notably a pair of suede slippers that he possibly pulled from Michael Jackson’s closet… 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?
