Pinch Me I Was There! ~ T.I. & Bobby Ray (B.o.B.) LIVE at the Loft
Friday night was such a random “A”zz night for me. After attending Keri Hilson’s Album Release party the night before, I had already decided that I was staying home but one of my Twitter friends (MissOdemi) hit me up with an invite to see Bobby Ray at the loft. Of course I couldn’t resist, so I headed on over.
While I was chillin in the back with my friend Rovella (of the AlmostFamous Show) almost board but not really, I glanced over and noticed Tiny chillin in the cut. My heart skipped a beat cause I knew that Tip wasn’t too far behind. A few seconds later, “The King” came struttin in the room and I knew it was about to be on!? Next came my boo Killer Mike and then Big Kuntry. I wanted to pinch myself cause I felt like I was in Grand Hustle heaven. B.o.B…..I mean Bobby Ray hadn’t even hit the stage yet, but here was Killer Mike, Big Kuntry and T.I. all in the back waiting for his arrival.
Mind you, no one (including me) suspected that Tip would actually hit the stage! But when he did….whoooo-weeee! The video doesn’t do it justice. All I can tell you is if you missed it…you missed out! Not only did Tip perform, but so did Killer Mike and Big Kuntry….and my sorry “A”zz couldn’t get footage cause I was stuck BEHIND the stage!!
If it wasn’t for TJsDJs footage I’d be kicking myself right now. Check out more classic footage from that night below: Continue Reading…

One on One with Slim (of 112) ~ Twitter, 112, Faith & Diddy + “Heels On” (Remix) ft. Deezbo & Ron Browz
I so sorry y’all…I’ve been holding on to this Slim of 112 interview for about 2 weeks now. *sigh* I admit it…I suck! But he and I had a lil sit down at The Grape in Atlantic Station (mmmmm Muscato!) and we chopped it up for a while. Slim’s new CD “Love’s Crazy” is on heavy rotation on the “A” pod and “So Fly” is my dayum personal theme song. He’s such a cool dude and is definitely Straight from the A…Cleveland Ave to be exact!
Slim has come a long way from the lead singer of 112. He has his own record label and now he’s calling the shots. Although he kind of disappointed me when he told me that he doesn’t speak to any of his former group members, he did say he has no ill feelings towards any of them and he’s sure they’re all doing big things.
I jumped on TWITTER and asked my followers if they had any questions for him:
iampritty@ATLien Does he blame @iamdiddy for not having any work the past 10 years?
SpaceyG@ATLien, yeah, I have a question. George Will says a rule of life is never play poker with a man named “Slim.” That true?
pooda@ATLien are u available for lunch? Tomorrow ? Maybe? Lol
JessDubb@ATLien what’s the next single
babajee@ATLien question for slim: when did you realize that your unique voice, could possibly get you a record deal?
wmicahw@ATLien didn’t know he was that close with faith evans until reading her book, what are his thoughts on “notorious” n the bad boy situation
pooda@ATLien would he consider a collab w Keri Hilson? I think their voices would mesh well
Slim answered just about everything and he held nothing back. (BTW…he’s not on twitter yet, but I’m working on it!) He talked at length about his feelings about being on Bad Boy, Diddy’s involvement in the group’s success and we even touched on his love life. Slim also revealed that that the “Heels On” (Remix) feat. Deezbo and Ron Browz is getting mad love these days on the airwaves.
Check out the full videotaped interview and also listen to the “Heels on” remix under the cut: Continue Reading…

One on One with Monica: Album Update + New BET Reality Show
I caught up with Monica yesterday and got a chance to inquire about all of her upcoming projects. Tons of her loyal fans have been hitting me up recently asking “wassup with the album?“, as well as seeking confirmation about her reality show, so I figured why not go to the source! There are two songs circulating the net right now, “Taxi” (which you may have heard during her PeachtreeTV reality show) and “Once in a Lifetime.” Both are creating quite a buzz! The main thing Monica wants to get across is that neither song is the single, so don’t get it twisted. She’s recorded over 100+ songs in her quest to find the right mix and she’s still in the lab with several producers, most notably B-Cox and Missy Elliot. But don’t fret…it’s coming!
Monica has been very busy lately. In addition to recording her own songs, she’s currently featured on her good friend, Keyshia Cole’s “Trust” and they’re preparing to shoot the video. She also just happened to be on her way to meet with the producer of her new BET reality show. That’s right! Mo’s show is hitting prime-time and is a done deal! The show, appropriately titled Still Standing starts production in a few short weeks and the first show will air sometime around the 2nd week of September. On the show, Monica hopes to touch the lives of troubled young women by sharing her journey in an open and honest way. She’s currently seeking clearance to take a camera crew into a women’s federal prison. (She ain’t skerred!) If you don’t know, Mo’s the realest in the game, so don’t let nobody tell you otherwise! She gave me quite an earful as we chatted about all the A-town gossip off camera. On camera, Monica gave her fans the 411 and repped her hometown of Atlanta to the fullest!
Peep the full videotaped interview below as well as a sample of those two leaked tracks: Continue Reading…
