Big Boi’s right hand man, Blackowned C-Bone is releasing a new mixtape soon with DJ Aaries called “The Strong Pack” and the first cut, “Tell C-Bone” is already hot on the streets.
The song takes a will known verse from Big’s A-Town classic, Krytonite and loops it over a hypnotic beat. The results = a pure club banger perfect for the southside!

My boo Backbone of the Dungeon Family hit the charts in 2001 with “5 Deuce- 4 Tre” and all you true ATLiens will feel me when I tell you that when this song randomly played in my car the other day, I immediately felt the need to drive slow through 5 pernts. *sigh* memories!

Two of my favorite people, Antwan “Big Boi” Patton and Cory “Black Owned C-Bone” Andrews hit up Atlanta’s club Utopia last weekend dressed like they were in the frozen tundra.? Mario may have jumped on the PETA bandwagon with his “Ink not Mink” campaign but apparently, Big Boi, C-Bone and dem believe in “Ink PLUS Mink”. 😆
Big Boi’s “Shine Blocka’s” video also premiered via StraightFromTheA.com at midnight 2010. Click Here if you missed it.

The historic Clermont Hotel is shutting it’s doors amidst reports of several health code violations.? According to the AJC, Fulton County’s Department of Health and Wellness has ordered the hotel to shut down by December 31st after finding a slew of dirty linen, old bedding and bed bug stains.
Inspectors also found mold growing on the walls, black water spilling from faucets and broken toilet fixtures. A sign on the door notes that the hotel closed on Dec. 12th, but residents have until Dec. 31st to find new lodging.
Some of you reading this may not know a thing about the Clermont, but that’s OK. The hotel was built in 1924 as an apartment building but was?converted to a?hotel in 1940. The photo above may seem familiar if you’ve ever visited Dugan’s or drove down Ponce.

Bubba Sparxx, Killer Mike & Cool Breeze rapped and ode to the “Clermont Lounge” a few years ago and I still bump it on my “A” Pod. Take a walk down memory lane below:? (Strong Language): Continue Reading…
Check out this previously unreleased shot from last summer’s Dungeon Family Reunion at Piedmont Park. Everyone was present and accounted for and an article ran in Vibe’s final issue called “Am I My Brother’s Keeper” (Part 1).
For those of you who are interested in reading Part II, Vibe’s recently been resurrected and you can find it tucked away in the new issue which features Drake on the cover. It’s only about 2 or 3 paragraphs but at least they got it out.
