On the Floor.

Diddy-Dirty Money has released a new video for "Ass On the Floor," from their forthcoming album, Last train to Paris. The song was produced by Swiss Beats and the video had an interesting holiday concept.

So Nasty Girl.

So in the mist of the finals and running around I did today, I found some down time to do what I love. Watch Music Videos! That is my favorite thing to do when I'm bored. 


I remembered this random song back from 2007, introduced to me by dance Mike Peele. Sterling Simms is the artist and his song "Nasty Girl," is a dope record from that time. I don't know whatever happened to him, he was singed to Island Def Jam and working on his album. 


I hope he is still working on music because we need more Male R&B Artist in the game.

Another Day.

I woke up, Saturday morning, without anything to do. Called up Trevon Williams, my partner in crime and we decided that we would attend this fashion flea market at Spring4th Center. I found myself surrounded by vintage treasures. I loved the event from drinks to the networking. 

Fashionable Night.

Art Nouveau x The-Social.com x NVougue presented Tabloid, this past thursday night. The event was hosted by Taz Arnold, signee of G.O.O.D. Music. Finally Atlanta gave you something Fashionable to do. Everyone that came out to the event were on point from models to artists to bloggers, everyone showed up and out that night. 

If You Need Me.

Powerhouse, Tiffany Evans has released a new video from her new album, coming soon. She has recently signed with Matthew Knowles and Sony Music Entertainment. "I'll Be There," is the ballet from the young talent, which is completely different from "Promise Ring."

My Family's Business.

Brandy and Ray J are at it again. On season one, the family reality show, Brandy and Ray J: Family Business, we saw the relationship, both personal and business, between the family and where everyone were going. Now on season two, things have changed. They still are close as ever, but something has shifted. Ray is in love and trying to balance his wild nightlife alter ego, while Brandy is looking for love and working on building her brand even further. 

Personally, I feel that its amazing to see this truly talented family, be completely real and honest. Check out the video below.

The Journey Home.

Diddy-Dirty Money is on the promotional trail for the album, Last Train to Paris. They recently hit the stage of SNL, performing their latest single, "Coming Home." This song is amazing and different from the over the top songs that have been released from Dirty Money. Here is the live performance and the video.

GIB. One word.

Okay, so everyone wants to know what is a GIB? Basically, it's just a name my fellow "GIB" Christoper(Po-Po) came up with, he is from Houston,TX, so what do you expect!? It technically stands for (Get ItB#####)I define GIB(n.)- A person who possesses a lot positive qualities and aren't scared to be an individual. We have been knowing each other since... FOREVER. I am truly blessed to have a group of friends that are doing something with their lives and won't settle for any shortcomings. We work hard, thus we play SO HARD.  

I LOVE MY FRIENDS!!!

Gimme Dat Bass!

Ciara - MTV Shows

Atlanta R&B siren Ciara has a new album, Basic Instinct, which hits stores 12-14-10. Ciara did a MTV Buzzworthy Q&A chat. When questioned about her favorite lyric from Basic Instinct, Ciara says it comes from the song “Wants For Dinner,” and goes, “you can entertain him all day long, but I’m what he wants for dinner.” 

Ciara covers other less steamy topics like the last person she hugged (a fan), who she wants to see on Twitter (basketball legend Michael Jordan) and the music video she wishes she had made (Janet Jackson’s incredible “Rhythm Nation”)

My New Love.

V. V. Brown is one of the new artist that I have completely fell in love with. While researching more info about this talented artist, I found out some things. 

"Track by track, the insanely singable, danceable and memorable songs of TRAVELLING LIKE THE LIGHT claim V V’s personal and artistic turf among the most gifted of today's singer-songwriters, and even suggest the career peaks of the young Bette Midler and comeback-era Tina Turner. As the songwriter and co-producer of her own music, it's impossible to miss V V’s deep appreciation of pop, soul and rock music's breadth, stretching from the very foundation grooves of rock-and-roll, to the kinds of video-game and analog synth sounds that turned up in 80s hip-hop and the post-2K crunk."


"Although V V has been heard to call her mix a “musical mashed potatoes,” betraying her unassuming side, the truth is that with TRAVELLING LIKE THE LIGHT, she does justice to a long tradition of strong, individual female voices that have had the power to define their times -- Alicia Keys and Amy Winehouse, prominent among V V's immediate inspirations. Since the European release of her album in mid-2008, V V has left an exciting visual trail of official video clips and fan-posted television, online, and festival appearances all over the cybersphere. In all of these, she's an absolutely luminous presence, vocally, visually and creatively."


Below are a couple of videos from this amazing woman. Expect more this entire month on V. V. Brown.

Christina Perri

Chrsitina Perri is a new artist I found myself drawn too. I chaught her video on Thanksgiving morning while at my aunt’s house, and I fell in love with her. Her look and style is something fresh for our eyes. The song Jar of Hearts was featured on So You Think You Can Dance during the June 30, 2010 show. It was featured in performance by Billy Bell and Kathryn McCormick. Perri's friend Keltie Colleen passed the song to show choreographer Stacey Tookey; Perri and Colleen watched the performance in the audience. Following its exposure on the show, "Jar of Hearts" sold 48,000 digital copies, debuting on the Billboard Hot 100 at #63 and reaching #28 on Billboard's Hot Digital Songs. Within a month, it sold more than 100,000 copies. Then, her music video for "Jar of Hearts" landed on the VH1 top 20 music video countdown.

However the highlight of my day was spent looking at music videos on-line. with my client Jeremy Copeland. Below are some the videos I fell in love with, all over again. Enjoy.

Destiny's Child "Cater 2 U."

Brandy "Almost Doesn't Count."

Raphael Saadiq "Let's Take A Walk."

I loved every video.

The Colors of Women.

I had the pleasure to see this amazing movie, For Colored Girls last night with my brothers. I am not even going to front, tears formed in my eyes from the truths these individual women went through. 

I am so honored and proud of this all start cast and Mister Tyler Perry, for directing/producing/writing this wonderful movie. I feel that Mister Perry grew from his usual movies he does, showing he can do more. 

I give it two thumbs up.

You got a light?

Recently, I have been watching back to back episodes of Mad Men. Besides the twisting plot, I was captured by the elegantly placed style of the male cast. John Slattery and Jon Hamm reigned supreme in tailored 3 piece suits, crisp dress shirts, with a brim hat to match. The stylist, Janie Bryant, is packing it in and serving you guys up with vintage style in modern fits. Note to the business majors and business-minded people, this is what you should be looking like in the office. Impressions are everything! It makes me so damn excited to be able to look like this every single day soon. Donald Draper and Roger Sterling are impressionable men, not only by their smoothly aggressive tone, but by their smack-in-the-face style.

Runway Walkers.

Recently, I have discovered that I love the runway, fashion runway. I am starting to come into my own, as far as career life. I was asked by my good friend Jill to come to Infinite Appeal's fashion show rehearsal. I attended the practice but wasn't impressed. Sad but true.

The Face of Heybandgeeks.com

In Atlanta everyone believe that they are models, having a cute face and somewhat toned body doesn't make a model. I have encounter a couple of people that I believe have the makings to be a rising model. Meet Tavaya Davis, graduate of GSU and FACE of Heybandgeeks.com. 

I met her about a year ago, at the Infinite Appeal show. She quickly caught my eye. We exchanged contact, but never worked together until now. Once I got her in front of the camera, magic formed. I count it a privilege to have work and continue to work with this rising model. Be on the look out for her on this site and around Atlanta.
