New Video Alert: Lil Thony – “Know She Gone F*ck” Ft Sukihana

0

Closing out the year with more heat ATL rapper Lil Thony dropped the comedic track”Know She Gone F*ck” now we get the visual.

Featuring fellow Atlanta rapper Sukihana (@Sukihanagoat), Lil Thony solidifies his place amongst the rising talent of Atlanta’s next wave of artists alongside one of the most outspoken female emcees on the rise.

“Just being popular in the area and having everyone telling me I have the look and image, everyone started asking about music, and so I really started to take it more seriously and focused on my craft writing more and coming up with concepts that would get people’s attention,” LIl Thony explaind.

“Everything is weird to somebody, until its cool to a lot of people, but my style just came about from me not wanting to do what other people do. Sometimes people can relate to it because they live the life I live too, but what you see is just me expressing myself – I’m not always trying to be funny, this is who I am,” Lil Thony said.

Peers and fans alike are taking notice as Lil Thony recently had a big feature for his song “Call My Phone” which featured the lyrics of Kap G.

“I like to freestyle, but I really like to write and perfect the song. Usually I find the topic and the words and people pretty much know what the song is about before they even hear it. Like my song, Bitcoin” Thony said.

Closing out the year and rolling into 2019, Lil Thony is hoping to go viral with some of his new content, making connections on the business side of music.

“I’m hoping to learn from different people, building with artists and expanding my brand, learning ways that I can build new fans. I try to look at sh*t from all angles; you can do anything and get a fan off it, so it ain’t got no limit to my creativity and I just like to have fun.”

New Music Alert: Darnell Williams – “Fuck Hollywood” (Video)

0

With credits as a musician, actor, writer and director, it’s no shock that the multihyphenate creative known as Darnell Williams is the mastermind behind the camera and concept of his latest video,F*ck Hollywood.” The cinematically crafted flick from the 12 Tone Music artist, who’s also directed works for notable hip-hop figures Big Sean and the late Mac Miller, is both mysterious and intriguing. “My inspiration was life in Hollywood, specifically the nightlife,” says Williams. “There’s always an experience to be had and something to get into. It’s a playground for those with vices who don’t mind crossing over to the dark side.” Beyond the definitive LA aesthetics, the engaging five-minute ten-second video reflects the MCs inner demons – fame, drugs, sex and alcohol. Williams puts the focus on storytelling, which is grounded in rock star reality, while the song and its funk-tinged beat serve as the perfect score. What starts off as young and reckless fun quickly turns into a gripping plot twist that alters the whole mood of the narrative. The result is an unexpected ending that begs for an extended version.

Special: Rapper/Actor Ludacris to Host Big Game, Big Give in Atlanta

0

It’s the biggest game of the year, but it’s also the biggest give of the year. Big Game Big Give (BGBG) is one of the most anticipated pre-Super Bowl charity events in the nation, promising to bring out some of the biggest names in business, celebrity, sports, and philanthropy elite. Now, with the announcement of Rams vs. Patriots at Super Bowl LIII, a select number of tickets to the gala have been released in surrounding cities in support of the two teams. Tax deductible tickets are $3,000 with the majority of the ticket price going directly to various charities.

The exclusive star-studded gala is thrown yearly in every Super Bowl hosting city, and has been voted the Number One Super Bowl Party by ESPN, The Magazine. To date, Big Game Big Give has raised more than $10 million for worthwhile causes around the globe.  Previous hosts have included Alec Baldwin, Ashton Kutcher, Mark Wahlberg, Michael Bay, Josh Brolin, Hilary Swank, and Jamie Foxx. The invitation-only cocktail party will be held at the estate of Jeff and Carrla Goldstein in Atlanta on Saturday evening, February 2, 2019 and will feature musical entertainment by The Black Eyed Peas and hosted by Ludacris. This year’s Big Game Big Give honoree for Extraordinary Philanthropic Achievement is former New Orleans Saints’ hero Steve Gleason, who is today the leading advocate for ALS patients worldwide. He was recently selected by the US Congress to receive the Congressional Gold Medal for his work as an ALS activist. Gleason will receive a portrait in the form of a sculpture donated by celebrity artist, Michael Kalish.

Matching individuals with charitable giving is a natural marriage for The Giving Back Fund’s founder and president, Marc Pollick. Prior to establishing the nonprofit organization based in Los Angeles, Pollick worked with Nobel Peace Prize Laureate, Elie Wiesel, and founded The Elie Wiesel Institute for Humanitarian Studies along with the Zachor Institute for Holocaust Studies.

“Big Game Big Give is my personal Super Bowl,” says Pollick. “It’s an opportunity to show the world there is a tremendous amount of good out there – people using their fortune and fame for causes that matter, causes greater than themselves. The world needs this now more than ever. I am simply the conduit to bring these people together.”

Exclusive: Gucci Mane Accused of Balling Out of Control While Child is On Public Assistance (Video)

Judge Paige Reese Whitaker/Credit: Dennis Byron

There was a recent hearing held in Fulton County Superior court that was presided over by Judge Paige Reese Whitaker where lawyers for both Sheena Evans and Radric Davis professionally known as Gucci Mane battled it out over what should be paid to the mother of his autistic son.

Attorney Tanya Mitchell Graham argued that Ms. Evans was unable to properly care for their son on a $2000.00. She pointed out to Judge Whitaker that Gucci Mane’s wealth is estimated to be around 15 million dollars and that he flaunts his his flashy lifestyle on social media.

In her suit filed last year, Evans argued the rapper was making a substantial amount more since leaving prison in 2011.

Gucci’s baby mama took issue with him spending a considerable amount of money on fine jewelry and says when the rapper got married, he spent in excess of $1 million for his wedding. She said this is proof that is more than capable of paying more support to her than the current $2k a month.

Most recently the So Icy rapper gifted his wife Keyshia Ka’oir with a 2019 Rolls Royce Cullinan truck which is valued at $325,000.00.

The judge has yet to rule on the upward modification of support.

New Music Alert: Jah Jah – “All I Know”

0

Known as one of the queens of the Westside of Atlanta, Jah Jah decided to retire from stripping at the Blue Flame making upwards of 5 to 10k a night to pursue her dream and use her other talent of making music. It seems to have panned out when she team with legendary Break Em Off Records. Here’s her first single/video offering titled “All I Know.” Sounds like she knows a little bit more that twerk! The video was directed by Cricket and song was produced by Bobby Kritical.

New Music Alert: Tae Bae – “First Day Out” (Video)

0

Tampa, Florida and the surrounding area is considered a beautiful place to live and visit; a popular tourist destination thanks to its geographic location, the nearby beaches of St. Petersburg and Clearwater and tourist attractions that include Busch Gardens and professional sports arenas. This lush western point of Florida is also home to rapper, Tae Bae. Born Dante Keller, Tae Bae was raised on the East side of Tampa and began rapping at the early age of 9.

Growing up in the hood of East Tampa, Tae was raised in the midst of a robust and vibrantly growing city with rapidly growing crime. Tampa’s death toll and homeless rates started to rise as neighborhoods were being gentrified and lower income families were being forced out of their homes. Like many other young men in this situation, Tae took to street life as means to make a way for himself and others.

With his desire to continue down the path he started almost 7 years ago, Tae Bae jumped right into the booth and dropped a hot new single, “First Day Out” produced by CheezeBeatz. Tae and Cheeze have worked well together in the past, so it was no question these two would cook up something mean for the streets.

In just a few weeks since his release, Tae Bae has been working hard in the studio to deliver a sound that both pays homage to his roots, but also creates a path forward. Tae Bae, which means “Tampa Bay”, knows that as he elevates his craft, he will also elevate his city. “I am Tampa, so where I go, the city going with me.”

R. Kelly Accuser: ” I’m Much Wiser, Stronger” Meets with New York SVU Detectives (Video)

0

Reporting by: Dennis Byron

This past hour Civil Rights attorney Gloria Allred held a press conference in New York City with one of singer R. Kelly’s accusers claiming that he has issued a written “threat” towards Faith Rogers, the 21-year old that is suing Kelly for allegedly giving her an STD.

Faith Rodgers

According to Allred, there was a notarized letter sent by the singer to  the attorney who is also representing Rodgers that stated that he would release via discovery several other people names who has had a sexual relationship with Rodgers. In that same letter, there were photos of Faith Rodgers with other men in compromising situations that the singer believes would hurt her credibility. What is even more bizarre is the fact that the same photos that were sent to Rogers attorney ended up on a Facebook page titled “SurvivingLies” which was believed to have been put up by R. Kelly’s team.

Allred said she currently represents 3 alleged victims of Kelly, and “You may rest assured that I will do everything in my power to support those who claim they are victims.”

One would wonder why is R. Kelly sending notarized correspondence to her attorney if he is in fact represented by an attorney himself?

Faith Rodgers is currently in New York City to to meet with N.Y.P.D. detectives to provide whatever information is needed to get the singer arrested.

This is a developing story.
