After months of dealing with the tragic loss of his brother Roderick Anthony Burton II professionally known to the world as Dolla, music veteran Scrapp Deleon who is signed with Gang Entertainment/Natural Born Leaders/Jive Records unleashes one of the fiercest mixtapes of the year.

In 1998, Miami rapper Trick Daddy released a million-selling bouncy single, “Nann Nigga,” featuring a sexy voice. Her vocals usher in an assertive, semi-brash and aggressive female MC as his counterpart. Her laid back, sassy bars are a regenesis of Millie Jackson-esque laments about lavish things: expensive furs, designer clothes, gaudy jewelry, foreign cars, being the dominant half in a relationship, a fierce sexual bravado and of course – money. The single peaks at #3 on the Billboard Rap Singles Charts. Now 12 years later, the world has come to know; respect and love Katrina Laverne Taylor (aka Trina).

Many R&B and soul groups endure the rise and downfall associated with fame and success: strings of hit singles, hit albums with the plaques to show for it, sold-out shows, heavily rotated music videos, screaming fans, high-profile break-ups, financial troubles, drug addiction and solo careers.

Grinding His Way to The Top
 

Maff’s name pretty much speaks for itself – “They call me MAFF cause I clock that, TEST is what life is and you can tell I pass that every time the light hit and my shit’s gotta add up”.

A self described “individual with the soul of an old man”,    Rapper/Songwriter/Businessman Maff Test came from the poverty stricken streets of Harvey, Illinois  and took his life by the horns, morally and financially to create a better situation to negotiate his talent by creating Lockout Records to move his music.

Mama may have, Papa he may have, but God bless the child that’s got his own!”
For some, these words are mere lyrics from a hit song by the Legendary Lady Holiday; but for 16 year old ATL recording artist, SAS a.k.a. Sasso, these lyrics have become a way of life.

Whitney Houston
Arista Records/Legacy Recordings
Release date January 26, 2010

“This album is very unique – it heralded a talent that would be with us all over the world for many years to come. The challenge was finding the right material; the right arrangements; production; the hits for [Whitney]. That began the adventure; that began the odyssey. It didn’t have just one classic; it had many.”

It's no surprise Beyonce was going to grab a few nominations but the Diva surprisingly received ten nods while 19 year old Taylor Swift received a total of eight. I don't believe anyone her age has ever received that many award nominations from the Grammys so clearly she will walk away with a few. Akon's artist Lady Gaga was also nominated for a total of five with “Best Album” nomination for her debut CD “The Fame”.
