Atlanta resident Trey Songz recently dropped an internet only album in ‘Anticipation’ for his new album called “Ready” due in August. Download it & tell him what you think via his twitter page
We wonder if Atlanta’s television news anchors have adopted a similar routine during their commercial breaks as these two have done so intricately.
Last Tuesday night We got a chance to catch up with Shawty Lo at Club Insomnia. Last Tuesday was the launch of a new night called Industry Tuesdays.

This is the latest single & video from the ATL representer who’s sense of style doesn’t quite fit our tastes, but maybe his music will move you. We also have an exclusive interview with the Grand Hustle rep Yung L.A. that we’ll post soon.
We first told y’all about this team of producers who have done a number of tracks for many of your favorite hip hop artists here in Atlanta, but they are also a alternative rock band heavy on the beats. This is their first album/EP. Check it out! We know its little different for some of you but that’s our job to represent quality in every genre of music or facet of life.

Everyone remembers the rape case Kobe Bryant had up in Colorado a few years back. I’m sure he wishes everyone would just forget about it as he & the Lakers close in on possibly winning an NBA championship against the Orlando Magic. We don’t know who’s the biggest loser in this situation. Could it be Kobe for even trying to hit this chick in the buttocks for some anal sex or this chick for even rapping about the situation in public. They both fail in our eyes. Kobe better hope he wins a championship with the Lakers this year or else Shaq will be performing his classic song again.
Check out this previously unreleased video from Kanye West called “Spaceship”. Don’t know why they never released it when the 2004 College Dropout album was released because the video is kinda tight.

Over the weekend Spike TV held their 2009 “Guys Choice” Awards in which comedian & actor Jamie Foxx was presenting the “Decade Of Hotness” award to the lovely 42 year old ‘Halle Berry’. Moments after presenting Halle Berry with her award, Jamie Foxx was in for a real surprise when he later found himself kissing & groping Halle Berry’s fine ass (pun intended). It appears the feeling was not only mutual, but reciprocated. Check out the pics!
Eminem was in the audience attending the MTV movie awards last night when an unfortunate situation occured leaving presenter “Bruno” with his genitals in Eminem’s face. Publicity stunt or not this is just too funny.
