Growing up in high school, you could have all the game in the world, but no self respecting female on the planet was gonna go with you if you could produce a decent slow jam tape.

CeeLo Green x SNL Part One
Atlanta during the mid- to-late ’90s was the ultimate win for great live shows. I was fortunate enough to make my bones at the World Famous Yin Yang Music Café.

Rest assured it wasn’t just about “neo-soul”, ATowns hip hop elite stomped the stage as well… namely the  Dungeon Family. I could go on for days about the Yin Yang Alumni. Maybe I will one day. For now it’s just good to see everybody moving forward after graduation. Video after the jump.
JOI : OG ATL Queen Bee
Nashville early 80′s
growing up as a lickle yout’ in Nashville tennessee i lived across the street from this kid named Keith Hamilton. Now keith was that “friend” that always was tryna show out in front of people, but tolerated it because he had an older sister named Joy. It was always a good day whenever joy would say things like “Damn if you were just a little bit older…”. Now Joy had a best friend named Joi. I remember my days at McGavok High when i see her walking down the halls just smiling and lighting up the hallways as she spoke to everybody she saw. She was captivating to say the least.
