  • B.o.B. Shows Off His Atlanta Style… [PHOTOS]

    Jan, 17 2012 | Written by ATLien

    B.o.B. recently sat down with urban fashion blog Upscale Hype where he discussed his “A” town style and how it has evolved since he first stepped on the music scene.

    Most people know how much I loves me some Bobby Ray and for those of you who don’t know… well now you do!

    My fellow ATLien spoke in the interview about Atlanta?s influence in fashion, the first thing he bought after his first big single, his Adidas endorsement, as well as his upcoming sophomore album Strange Clouds.

    B.o.B, always the dapper dude, rocked Michael Kors, Super Francis Ciccio sunglasses, Adidas jeans, Adidas sneakers, and Nialaya jewelry during his time at UH.

    Head to Upscale Hype for B.o.B.’s full interview.

    B.o.B. “Strange Clouds” ft. Lil Wayne ~ OFFICIAL VIDEO

    Dec, 5 2011 | Written by ATLien

    I caught up with B.o.B. aka Bobby Ray a few weeks ago as he presented a listening session for his upcoming album to a selected few.

    At the time, B.o.B.’s single “Strange Clouds” featuring Lil Wayne had already hit the airwaves and was creating a quite a buzz.

    There were several songs on the upcoming project that I took a liking to, specifically “Play the Guitar,” which features Andre 3000, but T.I. Nelly and Mos Def are also featured on the upcoming album.

    VIDEO: B.o.B. for StraightFromTheA

    B.o.B. and StraightFromTheA go waaaay back… back to when Grand Hustle bossman T.I. first gave Atlanta a sneak peek of his newfound talent in The Boardroom of Atlantic Records’ Atlanta office,

    My how time flies! Now the two are even planning to collaborate on a album together. Tip also makes a cameo in B.o.B.’s new video.

    Watch B.o.B.’s OFFICIAL “Strange Clouds” video ft. Lil Wayne below… Continue Reading…

    The “A” Pod ~ B.o.B. Teams Up With Lil Wayne for “Strange Clouds” [AUDIO]

    Sep, 26 2011 | Written by ATLien

    Atlanta’s own Bobby Ray (aka B.o.B.) is prepping for the release of his sophomore album and has teamed up with Lil Wayne for a hot new single.

    In the song, entitled “Strange Clouds,” the Grand Hustle rapper trades jabs with Lil Wayne over throbbing beat.?

    Bobby Ray switches things up a bit and instead of crooning to his boo as in “Noting on You,” he focuses on all his haters who thought he’d never make it.

    [Sidebar: Remember when y’all were asking “Who the f*ck is B.o.B.? Tip tried to told y’all… ]

    These ni**as wake up on my dick, at least have some breakfast first/ Ni**a keep your nourishment first and your mind on my lyrics ?cause what you hoping to accomplish, I already did it, bitch.

    Weezy follows up B.o.B.’s tounge twisters with his own wicked wordplay, rhyming igloo with jiu-jitsu…. I LOVE IT!

    The ?A? Pod ~ T.I. ft. B.o.B. ~ We Don?t Get Down Like Yall?

    Jun, 30 2011 | Written by ATLien

    T.I. may be locked up but his voice is still all over the airwaves.? With a little less than 4 months left on his prison sentence (he’s scheduled to be released mid-September), Tip is anticipating his release is aching to return to doing what he loves most… making music.

    In his last letter from jail, Tip wrote about how this has all affected him. Thanking the fans who have stood beside him in spirit and promising to return the favor by the gift of music…

    The separation from my art has definitely sparked an inferno of inspiration that will soon be felt by all. As a matter of fact, to show my appreciation to those that have been in support of me and granted the requests of TEAM T.I. I?ll be releasing a record in the near future (couple of weeks tops) to hold y?all over til I get back in action.

    During this time of seclusion I have developed a mind full of thoughts, ideas, plans and strategies of change to incorporate into my professional endeavors, as well as my personal lifestyle. But none of them is as strong as my determination to conquer my own imperfections and my will to WIN NO MATTER WHAT!!! [read Tip’s full letter from jail HERE]

    Tip kept his promise and now there’s now a new track circulating featuring his Grand Hustle signee B.o.B. (aka Bobby Ray), entitled “We Don’t Get Down Like Yall”.

    The “A” Pod: “Who Are You Now” Lupe Fiasco ft. B.o.B. + Who Wore it Best?

    Mar, 30 2011 | Written by ATLien

    Grammy nominee and fellow ATLien B.o.B is nowhere to be found on Lupe Fiasco?s recent chart-topping album Lasers.

    Being that Lupe said he had suicidal thoughts regarding the fact that his label preferred B.o.B?s version of ?Nothin? On You? over his own, the exclusion of Bobby Ray kinda makes sense.

    Lupe is one of my all time favorites and so is B.o.B. as I’ve interviewed them both.

    That being said, an unreleased track by the label mates has surfaced, entitled ?Who Are You Now?.

    Behind the Scenes with B.o.B., Wiz Khalifa & Bruno Mars ~ VIBE Cover Shoot [PHOTOS]

    Feb, 18 2011 | Written by ATLien

    B.o.B., Whiz Khalifa & Bruno Mars cover the February/March 2011 issue of Vibe Magazine.

    Vibe refers to the trio as “The New Pop Music” and offers the follwing explanation:

    “…each of them has taken their own sound and infiltrated the masses thereby making them figures in popular culture and pop music. Don’t front, you know you can turn to any Top 40 music station and hear their music.”

    I guess they’re right. These three have infiltrated R&B, Pop AND Hip-Hop. It’s a beautiful thing!

        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?
