Trey Songz celebrated his “Sexy-2nd” birthday at the Velvet Room in Atlanta Monday (Dec. 1st). ?Fabolous co-hosted the party and the club was packed wall-to-wall. ?DJ Trauma was on the ones and twos as Trey handed roses to a few of his loyal fans. ?Floyd Mayweather even came through. Before you even ask…I dunno how old Trey is this year. ?All I know is he is aging VERY WELL! 🙂
Princess (Crime Mob), Plies, ATLien
Plies hosted a private listening party Monday (Dec. 1st) at Atlanta’s Patchwerk Studios for his upcoming album, “Da Realest”, and I can honestly say he got me. ?I’ve never been a big fan of Plies (please hold your fire) because I’m not really into all that goon buisness, but after meeting him and hearing the sincerity in his voice I’m finally a fan. ?
Plies began the listening session with a special shout out to all of the invited attendees. ?As we all sat and waited patiently to roast him, he greeted us all warmly and?humbly?thanked us for taking time out of our busy schedules to attend. ?He mentioned how blessed he was to be in a situation where he no longer had to worry about feeding his kids and taking care of his family.

While most of us were feeding our faces with Cajun Turkey (I plead the fifth), T.I. was over at Turner Field on Thanksgiving Day assisting Hosea William’s Feed The Hungry Foundation. ?The event attracted nearly 22,000 needy Atlantans and fed all with no problems due to the generosity of several well known ATLiens. ?Tip was commended in raising nearly $100,000 within two hours on a local radio show Wednesday evening and Young Jeezy, was said to have donated $5,000 towards the event.
“I shouldn’t be but I’m amazed by their giving,” said Omilami, daughter of the late Hosea Williams. “I’ve been doing this for 39 years but I’ve never seen a year like this one in terms of donations.” (Source)

Polow Da Don and the entire Zone 4, Inc. crew held their 2nd annual Turkey GiveAway?Tuesday (Nov. 25th)?in Southwest Atlanta. ?In addition to receiving a free turkey, families were given the opportunity to enter a drawing to receive free rent/mortgage for a year. ?The crowd was astronomical as V-103s Greg Street did a live remote while Polow, Keri Hilson and Rich Boy all mingled amongst the crowd.
I cornered Polow for a lil one-on-one (get your minds out the gutter!) and he and I reminisced about growing up on the southside.??

The 2008 Dirty Awards were held in Atlanta last night and the event, although star-studded, was less than spectacular. The show, presented by Radio One’s Hot 107.9, ended up being a Hot “A”ss Mess as police had to break up fighting amongst some of the performers. ?Prior to the fighting, several Atlanta A-listers like Goodie Mob’s Big Gipp + Khujo Goodie, Monica, Soulja Boy, Gorilla Zoe and more were spotted glammed up for the red carpet:
Monica was rocking the red carpet as usual! You go girl 🙂
Gorilla Zoe
The event was marred by a fight that broke out presumably between Shawty Lo’s posse and T.I.’s clique. Shawty Lo performed and I’m told his ad libs took jabbs at T.I. and his crew. ?Once Yung LA and T.I. took the stage to perform “Ain’t I,” T.I.’s ending message didn’t sit well with some of Shawty Lo’s Bankhead crew in the audience and bottles and fists flew. ?I’ve heard that Alfamega had to be maced and that Big Kuntry was also subdued by police. ?More flix + Video footage of the debacle below *Updated with Better Footage*: Continue Reading…
