Saturday at Destiny Busta Rhymes and Spliff Star rocked the crowd and even took it back to ’93 to kick it with his fans. Oddly enough he came on before his opening acts because he had a club appearance in Miami that same night. Afterward performances from local acts Prote-J, Jemstar & Kino Sharp topped off a night dedicated to hip hop.

NICKI MINAJ AT ROXY

Kicking off Memorial Day weekend, her fi rst time in Orlando Nicki Minaj drew quite the crowd at Roxy. Young Money fans gathered on Friday night to see Nicki per-form and get their body parts autographed. Nicki later tweeted “Orlando is NOT 2 be

f**ked wit! I LOVE U GUYS!” – Thanks Nicki!

ISLAND FLAVASunday was the Orlando Carnival with

island fl avor parading through down-

town and showcasing the Caribbean

cultures in Central Florida. There was

plenty of dutty wines and and dagger-

ing going on. Also taking place down-

town was a new daytime party at Sky 60

that adds a new climax to Sunday Funday. A long line up of diverse DJs, jerk

chicken, drink specials and sun attracted nice crowd on the roof top of Sky 60.

GETTIN’ CRUNKAT FIRESTONE LIVECrunk Fest at Firestone concluded the Memorial Day weekend with OJ Da Juiceman, Webbie & Fella. Keep it up and Orlando will become the next big destination for Memorial Day weekend!

ON THE TWIRL is a new features that addresses the theory “There is noth-ing to do in Orlando”. Event socialite – Brandi Nikole will give you a taste of Central Florida’s upcoming event & Fabski hot spots beyond the club doors.

These streets were made for twirlin’….and that’s just what I’ll do. One of these days, this girl is gonna twirl all over you! Yes, indeed, you know nobody can twirl Orlando like I doski! I look for the entertainment away from the norm, the party away from the scene and the events away from the popular. On the contrary, Orlando’s nightlife is fi lled with so much to do, unlike anything you’ve ever experienced before! Every week doesn’t have to be about the same party, with the same people, on the same days! Don’t believe me? Ha ha! Just follow my twirl…

Art Me ORLANDO June 14 at Rok RoomIf you missed the fi rst one a couple months back, shame on youski! ArtMe Orlando brought to you by Event Junkies; creatively mixes art, music, and entertainment and features the artistic visuals by StephWood - Orlando’s best kept secret in the art world! If you are not familiar with her work, she paints vivid, funky illustrations of those people who rock in their entertainment sectors such as The Runners, Lil Wayne, and even local celebs like Ricky P. Her artwork also includes seductive poses of random women, with all their beauty captured with bright colors and eye grabbing themes. The last Art Me Orlando showcased an open canvass with paints and paintbrush available for guests to paint their own artwork, with paint by numbers - such a fabski ideaski! The night con-cluded with a mini showdown with burlesque dancers. Totally out of your norm for an artshow, but totally worth your time!

StefWood shares this upcoming edition is titled Art Me Orlando: Self-Expression and has a diff erent perspective than the last show. “Art Me Orlando: Self Expression is focused more towards me using painting as an outlet for self-expression. I am super quiet, and if I’m out being ‘social’, I don’t usually put myself out there. I wanted to open up a bit and paint some things that I fi nd interesting”. Steph also tells me to expect a lot of female nudity. “I fi nd the female form amazing, no matter the subject. It’s something about the form of soft curves and simple light that can make us as females look amazing. I’m sure the fellas would agreeski! Steph will also premiere her self portrait works, which she admits to being quite diffi cult. “Taking a step back and trying to paint what is actually there versus what I actually think, and see your real self.... It’s a pretty deep task and I recommend anyone to try it!”

Art ME Orlando will also showcase DJ Remmington Steele, Live music from Atiba and a Pop-Up Shop from Colourful Money.Well, I recommend you step from the whirl and get on your twirl! Twirl with me this Mon-day June 14 – 8pm to 12a at Rok Room for Art Me Orlando: Self-Expressions brought to you by EventJunkies.net and StephWoodPaint.com


that former track star Marion Jones is now playing for the Tulsa Shock. And shocked is what I was; although I shouldn’t be considering in 1994 Jones won an NCAA Championship with the Tar Heels before abandoning basketball for track. Marion was released form prison in 2008 after serving a six month sentence for lying to the feds about using performance-enhancing drugs. She not

only lost her five Olympic medals but also millions of dollars in endorsement deals. Now making a little over $35,000 Jones is showing that a fallen star can shine again. You go girl!

Reggie Bush is also facing the pos-sibility of losing a trophy. Don’t worry Saints fans it has nothing to do with the Lombardi Trophy. USC is in trouble for many infractions of the rules of the NCAA. Basically, if the NCAA Committee on Infractions can prove that Reggie or his family accepted money and that for-mer Coach Pete Carroll was aware of it he can kiss the Heisman goodbye. This is possible because the violation would

have made Bush ineligible to play, thus not eligi-ble for the Heisman. I hope that works out for you bruh.

In the HuddleAllegedly Jets Cornerback Darrelle Revis is

upset about his contractual offer and is skipping the voluntary OTAs (Organized Team Activities) until his needs are met. He wasn’t present at the first day of taping for this season of HBO’s series Hard Knocks.

30 Second TimeoutThis one is for Eddy

Curry who was ordered by a judge to pay a $1.2 Million debt. I’m call-ing a timeout because after making $57.3 Million there should be no debt. Apparently he has his entire family on his payroll which totals $17,000 a month and gave away 12 of his luxury cars. This isn’t a wise business move…get it together!

W ould you watch a game in which the final score could be zero to zero? Most people would

say no. Hence the reason many people in this country don’t watch soccer. While majority of the country will be tuning in to watch the Celtics beat the Lakers (you can tell who I’m rooting for) much of the world will be watching the World Cup. The NBA finals are exciting but imag-ine how much more exciting it would be if neither team scored the entire game and they had to shoot free throws to determine a winner. You’d more than likely be biting your lip at the edge of your seat. That is what makes soccer more exhilarating. On June 12th the United States plays England. And I’ll be in front of my TV waiting to shout goooooaaaaaalllllll!

I have a strong feeling that I will also be waiting until game 7 to see who wins the NBA finals. As I stated previously, my pick is the Celtics. So there you have it, Celtics in seven, any takers on a bet? I’m sure you’ve heard the saying, “women lie, men lie, but numbers don’t lie.” Well, Boston has the num-bers. Of the previous eleven times these two teams have met Boston has won nine and with seventeen, holds two more titles than the Lakers. This season Kobe is seeking revenge on the embarrassing loss he suffered to Boston in 2008. Winning this championship will earn him five rings, the same amount Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Magic Johnson

won as Lakers. However it’s deeper than revenge, it’s the great-est rivalry in NBA history.

As the NBA wraps its post season up the WNBA is just

beginning. I’m not even going to act like I watch the WNBA. Maybe if I did I would have known

FASHION&LIFESTYLENOW

Missy in the middle.Are those spanks or stockings you have on under that leotard? Its like a whole diff erent color from your skin, and YOU CAN SEE IT CLEARLY! Why did your girls let you do this to yourself? This is a hot mess, and nowhere near Diva! Really...like why did you do this?

If you see someone with terrible fashion, or they just might need a little Pinky advise,

send a picture and comment to

[email protected] can also fi nd me on Facebook!

Coochie ShotAlot of people wanted to be seen by Nicki, signed by Nicki, and maybe even a hug, but this chick in the white dress wanted to give Nicki a coochie shot. Boo Boo don’t wear a dress like that with no drawers, UNLESS you want the whole club to see it. GROSS!

Fav of the Week!Push the bar with your fashion and style. I love the colorful bow tie with the grey vest! Your Princess compliments this look very well with the grey fi tted dress. Soft yet edgy look!

ARTIST REPRESENTATION: “Who You With?”

A colleague once stated that people often talk about how Artists are messing up the game with bad music, but Execs are just as guilty with bad business practices.

One of the key aspects of being successful as an Art-ist is having proper representation. Having the right team members in place is critical to your success!

A growing trend with Urban Artists is the hiring of unqualifi ed team members; most hire family members or childhood friends. While there is nothing wrong with this, Hire them because they are qualifi ed not be-cause you feel you have to put them on.

Keep in mind, team members are the people that ev-eryone sees before even meeting you, they are your refl ection. So what makes good representation? I’m so glad you asked LOL

Whether you are a Manager, Publicist, etc. You have to be professional and know how to conduct business on all levels even in Hip Hop. The ideal person should possess a “Corporate Street” characteristic, someone who can deal with the MTV’s and William Morris Agen-cies as well as with the Mom and Pop stores and Indie companies. Reading, writing and verbal skills are a must. As well as being able to eff ectively negotiations, haveing contacts and get the job done.

Attitude is everything. No one wants to deal with a jerk. I think that Damon Dash is one of the best busi-ness men to grace the industry. He always wasn’t the nicest; but people sucked it up because he had Jay Z so what do you do? Now that Damon and Jay are no longer in business, you don’t have to deal with Damon now, “Ok so, make another Hov.”

Managers remember,“you work for the artist; they don’t work for you.” Although you were hired to keep them on track, at the end of the day they sign your check. It’s not about you; it’s about them. Don’t worry about fl ying fi rst class, or losing a deal because you can’t get the cut that you want. Your perks will always come.

Lastly, drive and persistence goes a long way. A man-ager and artist must be equally yoked. As a team; you have to hold each other accountable; Artists its okay to tell your Manager no; Managers its okay not to be treated as a doormat. You have to believe in each oth-er; if you don’t - it won’t work.

Without a doubt, summer time is certainly here! And I don’t mean by the scorching temperatures, I mean by the sizzling parties.

There’s that one holiday weekend that kicks the summer-daze into play that we all have been anticipating for all winter; Memorial Day Weekend. This is the weekend where most folks head down south to Miami, or across the country to Las Vegas, and even out in the waters like Puerto Rico. I can’t even front…I’m usually out of here during this weekend myself. But this year, I decided to stay behind and see exactly how Orlando gets down for this three day weekend. Sure enough, my Facebook events calendar was booked with over 25 events going down JUST IN ONE WEEKEND! I didn’t know how to choose which event I would attend, so I shook my Magic 8 Ball, and here are a couple of parties my fate lead me to….and OH HOW FATEFUL!

NICKI MINAJ

@ THE ROXY

On this night, Roxy was definitely the place to kick off your Memorial Weekend! If you weren’t there, you were totally square…or couldn’t afford the cover charge! From what they were charging at the door, you would’ve thought it was the Classic Weekend instead of Memorial Weekend. However, for Nicki Minaj, folks really didn’t care. Now, I’ve been to the Roxy quite a few times in my day, but the energy that filled the club on the night was unlike anything I’ve experienced before. The ladies were all dressed in their “Nicki” best…all Barbie up, bright lips, tight leggings, heavy cleavages! The dudes came out dressed to throw money in the air. Then once Nicki Minaj stepped onto stage, the crowd turned into a huge music video. I was impressed on how the crowd knew every single word to all of her freestyles and singles. She hasn’t even put an album

out yet! My favorite part of the night was the time and dedication that Nicki spent on her fans. She kept her promise and signed many “tig ole bitties” and brought a Louis Vuitton duffle bag full of small stuff animals that she autographed and passed out to her fans. Orlando has been waiting for her to visit, and she definitely left a lasting impression in our hearts. If you missed any of this, don’t worry! “Jammin in the Club,” which is powered by 102JAMZ’s website, was in the building capturing every bit of the night so folks like you don’t miss a beat! Be sure to check that out.

PILLOW TALK

@ ROOM 23 (CLUB 23…POTATO, POTATOE)

Let’s be honest…I love the concept and I always have high hopes for this monthly party. But each time I go, I get disappointed. When they first premiered this event, the hype and draw for me was the idea of chillin and vibin to RnB and slow jams all night long. In a venue setting like Room 23, with the large VIP areas and couches, I could really enjoy some pillow talk. But every time I go, the majority of the evening is filled with hip hop and rap to get the party started, and then by the last hour or maybe two, they want to play the slow jams. Now, maybe it’s just me, but that is just about the same format for any night in the club; party hard all night while the liquor is flowing, then slow it down when the liquor starts talking. I want that RnB and slow jam filled evening where I can slow dance with my significant other and just chill without all the “clubbin.” I believe the promoters are afraid sticking to the concept “pillow talk” will not bring out the crowd they expect. To that, I say the hell with the majority…start pleasing the minority and watch what can happen. Sometimes it shouldn’t be about the quantity, but rather the quality.

Yes my lil nightcrawlers, some parties I like, some I don’t…I’m human just like you and I go out to have a good time. It’s my duty to report back to you exactly how I see it, and how I experienced it. With that being said, I am looking for some new parties to attend that will excite my streets! Having a party, concert, or large event? Maybe you went somewhere this weekend and had an awful time and want to tell the streets all about it. Send me your gripes, grins, and must-be-there’s to [email protected]. Until next time…

LET’S CELEBRATE!


N icki Minaj and Lil Kim have been feuding lately, even getting Drake and Ray-J to comment on the feud. Nicki claims it’s over “jealously”; while Kim is demanding “respect” from her latest protegé. Female rap beef, I like it!

S een here with her much younger boyfriend, Marlon Yate, he and Shaunie O’Neal was spotted in LA over the weekend. Her attorney needs to tell her she’s messing up any alimony she could expect from her estranged husband Shaq. Oh never mind she already got money when she was stealing and hiding it in off shore accounts. Gold Digger!

T V star Gary Coleman died after injuring his head from a brutal slip and fall at his home. Speculation still surrounds his ex-wife Shannon Price on why she decided to pull the plug on Coleman. May he rest in peace.

President Obama instructed his ambassador to the United Nations to join the condemnation of the Israeli acts of violence. Many countries felt that the Obama administration allows Israel to get away with criminal acts and struggles to make a choice between right and wrong.

According to an eye witness who was able to return home, the Israeli commandos were airlifted from helicopters, and began the operation with warning shots, sound, smoke bombs, and gas bombs and ordered the ships too stop. Once the ships wouldn’t stop the firing turned into an attack and the commandos came aboard.

The commandos used plastic bul-lets, beatings, and electric shock to take control of the ships. The ships com-munications system was disrupted and windows and doors were broken. They confiscated everything, mobile phones, laptops, cameras, and personal effects of the humanitarians.

The actions of the commandos were appalling and deplorable. It is time that

Israel is held accountable for its military operation, and the Obama administration should become a leader in holding Israel accountable. America considers it’s military to be the most powerful in the world and believes that it is a champion of insuring that international laws are followed.

If the Obama administration is serious about changing America’s perception around the world, it must begin to challenge criminal acts that are created by its allies. The entire world is watching our actions when international laws are broken. We can stand alone and take timid responses when we know the action was wrong and against the international community.

On the other hand, we can take strong positions that align us with the world community, because it is the right thing to do and it protects human dignity and rights. It is time for

the United States to stop fluctuat-ing with right and wrong and stand for human rights.

There should be an apology from Israel and they should pay repara-tions to the families of the individu-als who were killed. Israel should be reprimanded by the world body and they should be instructed how to become a productive member of the body of nations.

KNOWLEDGENOW

By Roger Caldwell

IS OBAMA ON THE RIGHT SIDE WITH THE WORLD CONDEMNATION WITH ISRAEL?

L ast week in international waters, Israeli comman-dos’ in the predawn hours intercepted a convoy of humanitarian ships that were carrying supplies for

the people of the Gaza blockade. During this military opera-tion the Israeli commandos killed 10 activists and many more were injured. The international com-munity is enraged with Israel’s total disregard for human life, and the ships were attacked 72 miles away from Israeli waters.

For the past three years the blockade of Gaza by Israel is one of the world’s greatest human rights violations and illegal under international law. The United States is a close ally with Israel and helps finance the military, there-fore we are morally responsible for the operations of that coun-try. If our focus is to protect international law, we should speak out against countries that violate international law.

For many years the United States has rarely allowed a United Nations Security Council resolution condemning Israel get through. But last week the United Nations Security Council condemned the Israeli raid on the Gaza aid flotilla as deplorable where 10 activists were killed. Around the world many Arabs and especially Turkish, because the lead ship had a Turkish flag have called the operation criminal.

The world body insisted that Israel immediately release the 480 humanitarians it had taken captive. The statement also instructed Israel to let the ships go and lift the blockade of the Gaza Strip.

Initially the United States made a statement calling the death of the 10 humanitarians a tragedy and there would be a need for an inves-tigation to establish where to place the blame for this incident. It was oblivious who the aggressor was and as the world community con-demned Israel, the United States changed their position.

CD on Review : : DRAKEThank Me Later

Ohhh – how I love the digital game… They allow me to be up-to-date and be lazy at the same time LOL. Recently, the cyber giants

leaked highly-anticipated “Thank Me Later” from Drake (like we didn’t see this coming, right?) The album was leaked May 29 and will be release for SALE on June 15.

Odd enough Drake goes against grain like always and he shares in a recent twitter post “I gave away free music for years so we’re good over here...just allow it to be the soundtrack to your summer and ENJOY! JUNE 15th!”. I digg that because he understand stands sometimes you can’t beat the system and just because its free doesn’t mean it will be the determent of his album sells.

Just ask his Young Money boss Lil Wayne, whose album Tha Carter III sold over one million copies in its fi rst week, boosted by his internet popularity.

So with all this being said I was not disap-pointed by Drake’s album but I will acknowledge it was somewhat of a smooth listen outside of the energy of his well-known track “Over”. I don’t want to prematurely say he is catering for the female audience but I can’t ignore his melodic approach.

Drake’s maintain his amazing word play but falls fl at on hitting multiple rhythmic dynamics. Check out what Drake’s “Thank Me Later” which he hopes will be the soundtrack of the summer… But I say if your chillin heavy this summer then push play – if not, then don’t.

A MAN DRIVEN BY PASSION, KEVERONES CREATED HIS CLOTHING LINE TO REFLECT HIS ROOTS. BORN IN BROOKLYN, NEW YORK IN 1980, KEVER HAS ALWAYS LOVED THE STREET CULTURE HE

WAS RAISED AROUND. ORIGINALLY A GRAFFITI ARTIST AND B-BOY, HE BECAME PASSIONATE ABOUT USING WHAT YOU WEAR TO EXPRESS YOUR STYLE AND SWAGGER. HIS CLOTHING EPITOMIZES THE CULTURE OF THE STREETS. AFTER LIVING IN ORLANDO, FL FOR 10 YEARS, KEVER DECIDED TO MAKE HIS DREAM A REALITY, HE STARTED BUILDING HIS BRAND AND CREATED KEVER AND COMPANY. HE LAUNCHED HIS FIRST LINE OF T-SHIRTS TO REFLECT THE HIP HOP LIFESTYLE WITH BOLD STATEMENTS AND HAND PAINTED GRAPHICS.


I’ve managed to keep thriving and pushing myself towards that goal. Networking is a must. You must learn how to communicate to all aspects of com-

munity. Keep your brand as diverse as possible and never settle for less.

WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON THE ORLANDO MUSIC SCENE?

A lot of dope artists doing their thing right now in Orlando. I got much respect for those who hustle day in day out. These artists motivate me as well.

BESIDES YOUR CUSTOM CLOTHING BRAND ARE THERE ANY OTHER PROJECTS THAT YOU’RE WORKING ON?

Got plans in the works for a few mixtapes and part-nerships with brands outside of the state of Florida.

What's good boss? hoW's life and business?Life is good. No complaints. Currently we’re un-

dergoing multiple tasks/projects this year and can’t wait to show Orlando and the world what we have in store.

hoW long has it been since blaq soul entertain-ment founded and hoW did it originate?

Blaq Soul Entertainment, a.k.a. B.S.E. has been around since early 2005. Tony Hood and Rafael “Bear” always knew a record label was something they wanted to become involved with. So after Tony Hood developed a name for himself alongside partner Alize in 2008 we set out to make the dream a reality. Legalizing Blaq Soul Entertainment in 2009!

What are some of the hottest artists on the label and What tracks are being played around the cen-tral florida area as We speak?

Lol that would make us bias! Honestly, everyone on the team brings something different to the table but all have the same level of greatness. With that said, we have J. Wise –“Gone on Patron”, Tony Hood n’ Alize- “Hi Haters”, Twan D. The Student –“Focused on the Money” all currently being rotated in various areas around Central FL and out of state. Look out for Blaq Soul Texas Artist “Snappa” to release his single under Blaq Soul Entertainment, not yet an-nounced.

hoW can an inspired artist come correct to be considered for your label? What qualities and characteristics Would they have to possess?

Blaq SoulEntErtainmEnt

Blaq Soul Entertainment was originated in 2005. It was started by Tony Hood and Rafael “Bear” who always had a vision of starting a record label. Along with these two gentlemen they have partnered along with Alize who was also very well known. Since then they have expanded their label to feature several artists. They have received some national recognition with an appearance on B.E.T.’s 106 n’ Park where Tony Hood and Alize had a spectacular performance under the bright lights. Upcoming they have their label compilation cd which they will be releasing this summer. They discussed all of these events and more with me.

Most important thing for us is the artist has to be “Open Mindedness”. We look for stage presence, diff erence, confi dence, drive, motivation and the will to learn! If you come with that, we can work with you.

hoW did the appearance on b.e.t.'s 106 n park come about and hoW do you feel the performance Went?

Alize actually was the one who emailed with the intension of no response. Smart if you ask me. Once they heard the music submitted via MySpace, they locked us in for an audition date. After nailing the auditions Tony Hood n’ Alize took the main stage a month later in April of 2008. The experience from how they put it was “A Dream Come True”. Win or Lose they kept their heads high understand that everyone won that day just by achieving national exposure.

i Was at the performance With black dada at club envy When J. Wise performed. hoW did that take place and did that bring more eXposure to your label?

B.S.E. (J. Wise): The show came about through my TIO/DSM/FLMG Label via Goolie Entertainment. At the time I was negotiating with Blaq Soul Entertain-ment on some future plans of working together. That was my fi rst time meeting Dada. So it surprised me when he informed me that he had already heard of me down in Miami. Doing a show in my eyes al-ways means some type of exposure, so for the most part I will say yes it did.

HOW DID YOU GET THE TITLE “MIXTAPE KING OF THE SOUTH” AND HAS ANYONE EVER CHALLENGED YOUR THRONE?I gave myself that title cause I was dropping cd’s like birds drop crap back to back and I been out the game for two years and still isn’t no one f***ing with what I done! Yeah, they doing mix tapes but not how I was doing I guess that why the R.I.A.A and the A.T.F busted me.

SO WHAT HAPPENED WITH THAT?I was on the block selling cd’s and they did a sting on my a** came from everywhere I got hit with $25k in fi nes and $10k for my lawyer! Two years pro-bation! Man… hurt my pockets, I just bought my house and two new cars then that s*** happened!! Nevertheless, I’m good now that I put it behind me you feel me.

WHAT LABEL ARE YOU SIGNED WITH AS OF RIGHT NOW?I never been signed to a label I just been down by law I been cooling wit Dawgman Ent. for ten years now I’m also down with New Dirty Ent. “New Dirty Dj’s” I’m also a core dj other wise I’m a free agent ha ha ha I can’t forget Pure Pain Records “R.I.P. Camafl ouge” they always showed love!

WHAT FUTURE PLANS DO YOU HAVE AS OF RIGHT NOW?Trying to take DIRTY GEE where he needs to go and help other local artist with their needs, I’m working on a couple mix tapes and things of that nature.

When you think of Caucasians in the rap game your � rst thought may be Eminem or even go back to Vanilla Ice. Down here in the dirty south, West Orange County to be exact we know the � rst true white boy who did his thing was White Boi Pizal. He has been on the airways, in the streets, in the clubs, and just making noise all around the central Florida area since 1993 that’s seventeen long hard dedicated years. This was one white boy we knew held it down and the streets, the commu-nity, and the city embraced with open arms. After this long road he has a daughter and a family he provides for while still on the music scene he takes us back to his past, his future, and all the wild stu� that happened in-between. He might not be an industry nationally known white boy but he is de� nitely a legend around these parts and still holds it down till this day for the county, city and the whole sunshine state.
