Young Thug – On The Rvn

Leave a reply

Young Thug dropped “On The Rvn” over the weekend & already got a few people talking about the 6 song project!

With features including 6lack, Jaden Smith, T-Shyne & Elton John this is a strong EP for Thug. In my opinion, you can tell that he is evolving with his music while still staying true to himself. I do wish that he included atleast 2 to 3 more songs BUT the anticipation for more music from him is what I crave and keeps me listening. Check out the tracks below & comment your thoughts!

Say Good Bye To The Pink Trap House

Leave a reply

I know you guys remember the Pink Trap House rapper 2 Chainz introduced us to in 2017….well say your good byes because the house will be demolished soon!

https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js

Per Atlanta News, the attention grabber house will be demolished in the very soon! Atlanta-based rapper 2 Chainz leased an unremarkable home at 1530 Howell Mill Road in west Midtown and dumped a coat of paint on it that resembled Pepto Bismol. He etched the word “TRAP” in black lettering and parked a wide-body classic sedan in front of it. Even the stove that also sat in the front of the house was painted pink too.

All of this was to promote his 2017 album, “Pretty Girls Like Trap Music.” The record was a success, debuting at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 chart and eventually becoming certified gold. Fans flocked to the Pink Trap House in droves just to take pics at this pink house, something that nobody has ever done to promote an album. Unfortunately, soon the house will be nothing but a memory.

To Rohrig and Cartel Properties, the owners of the home, the 0.17 acres of dirt that the home sits on is more valuable than the house. According to Fulton County property records, the land at the address is valued at $237,600 while the house is valued at $194,000.

The house is still standing, its not painted pink anymore, its now all white. The home is currently empty and basically looking like the rest of the houses on that street. I can bet that without the address of the Pink Trap House, no one would know which house it is as per one tweet made by a fan:

There’s a Cartel Properties sign stuck in the window that says the home is available, but don’t be fooled. The one-time Pink Trap House is not for sale.
Rohrig says he has no timetable for demolishing it. Built in 1940, the house has five rooms and a total of 899 square feet of residential space. It also features a full basement and a covered porch.

As a fan of 2 Chainz, I totally applaud what he did with the house while he had it! I read of people using the house to hold exercise classes, performed free HIV tests, even other local artists used the house as a background for their own music video, and a place for tourists.

Getting To Know Annie-O

Leave a reply

I had the great oppurtunity to interview up and coming artist, Annie-O last week!

 

I had the pleasure of getting to interview Camp Loyalty artist, Annie-O,a rapper hailing from Detroit, but has now made Atlanta her new home. At 26, Annie-O is not just your typical female rapper, she also is experienced in music production, videography, and audio engineering for other independent artists as well as for herself.
An artist who is a May birthday like me, and sounds very confident & takes her career very seriously. So serious that she migrated to Atlanta, a city known for providing way more oppurtunities for furthering music careers.

Annie-O, who in her spare time finds fullfillment in giving back to the community, has two hot singles out. I got to speak on Annie-O regarding her single “By Myself” produce by Dre Beatz. Annie-O, short for Annie Oakley, raps about the fact of learning that in life you find that its best to do things by yourself and for yourself. I know that is a topic that i know so well, and Annie-O stated that she had to learn to learn that lesson too! Once the lesson was learned the artist admits that life has been moving in a positive direction which that can be an empowering message all women.

Last Sunday, Annie-O, was a featured guest on one of the stations shows, Hit Or Miss. We got to feature her other hot single called, “GBM”, produced by Kongo Beats shows the more raw version of her. GBM which stands for Gangsta Bitch Music, shows the reason why Annie-O will be a household name one day.

Persistence & consistency is the key to success & Annie-O is on the goal to make this happen. Annie has said “I want to be considered the rose that grew from concrete, that one who made it against all odds and after everyone said I was just a typical female rapper, I really have no limits. I want to take this as far as life will allow. The grind to be the greatest is never over”. Annie-O stated that she has alot of great things to be looking forward to in 2018, and wants all of her fans to stay tuned!
