Atlanta bitches!!!!

Posted on March 31, 2008 by Lola

It is, 5:58 in the morning, and I am STILL packing, writing, saving files, sending e-mails and getting dressed to leave. Spinz will be at my house by 8.30, in only 2 hours and I’m nowhere near ready. I’ve got 2 HUGE (and when I say huge i really do mean huge) luggages all ready to go, and I still haven’t packed my blowdryer, straightener, make up, lotions, or ANY carry-on items for that matter. This is me..I leave everything for last minute…tsk tsk tsk.
Anyways…just thought I’d say I’m leaving and let you know that I will be blogging every day..or at least try to, and let you know what ATL is all about. I’m hearing the city is going crazy since T.I. got out of jail and I’m super excited to be in the mess. Woohoo..
Keep checkin back for updates!!
Peace

Back t o Brown

I think today is one of my most upsetting hair days (besides the day my hair was orange and I looked like tinkerbell because that was pretty depressing too…I was in my bed crying!!and I bet you would have been too!!). Anyways. my blonde hair needs too much maintenance and the bleach was killing it, so I had to go back to my natural and let it grow until it’s healed and ready to get fucked up again. I don’t think blondes have more fun, but I think my blonde hair was a lot more fun to fuck with. I still remember when I went to ATL in October and Rebeka called me “The blondie”. *tear rolls off* Forgive me
Where I left off..

Lupe Fiasco Concert

Posted on March 30, 2008 by Lola

This past friday was kinda crazy as I had to go club hopping and hook up with a few different people. I’m not sure if you have heard of a producer named Mars, but he is definitely going to be the next big thing, as T.I. will be executive producing a show called Life on Mars, where the cameras follow the young genius as he travels across the world.Check the video below Will definitely be looking forward for this to come out. Mars seems to be real cool and down to earth so here at IluvLola we wish him nothing but the best of success!! Well Mars is also in a band and they perform at live shows for artists like….Lupe Fiasco!!!..which is the reason he was in Toronto. He invited my friends and I to the Lupe show making that my first and longest stop of the night as Lupe performed from 10.30PM until 1.10 AM!!!Here’s some flicks from the show…
Me and Mars after the show…

Sarah, Me, Stephanie and Madi

Yup..pretty crazy huh…that was NOT the end of my night though…

JANET makes it REIGN!!

Posted on March 30, 2008 by Lola

The party involved having some hot celebrities come through un-expected and some expected of course, and the turnout was fantastic!! I of course went through wearing one of my famous Lola tees, and boys jeans for the SECOND week in a row. (Check out Me holding it down for Zone 4 to see last week’s outfit

OTA LIVE…LIVE!!

Posted on March 30, 2008 by Lola

So as I stopped by the Flow 93.5 offices late on a Tuesday evening to check up on my boy Starting From Scratch, I bumped into Rez who was in the studio preparing his OTA LIVE show. We got to talking about music industry, support, artists, Toronto, and soon enough it was time for them to go on air. I thought I’d tape them as they introduced the show on air so you guys could get a lil behind the scenes exclusive!! I always think of the readers….always.
OTA Live is the only show on FM radio in Canada that promotes Canadian talent like no other. If you want to find out more about the show and the hosts, check out http://www.hiphopcanada.com/megacitycountdown
and since they already did the introduction for me, here’s Kardinal Offishall’s latest single featuring Akon – Dangerous

Day 26 – Got me going + VOYCE

Posted on March 30, 2008 by Lola

I’m sure after watching Making the Band 4, you all know who Day 26 and Danity Kane are, and if you don’t …well…you’re living under a rock. No I’m joking but really these are two groups I think you should be checking out for. I think I like Danity Kane a little better though…but maybe I’m biased cuz I’m all about the girl movement…LOL..so kidding!
Anyways…I’m posting this because I recently found out that the main single off of Day 26’s debut album “Day 26“called “Got me going” was written by a friend of mine named Voyce. I was speechless. Voyce also has 4 other records on the album and he is currently signed to legend producer/songwriter Bryan Michael Cox. Yup.
It could be the product of growing up in Toronto, Canada where they think of themselves as “cultural mosaic” or the fact that he’s the middle child among three in his churchgoing and very Caribbean family. But, Aion “Voyce Alexander” Clarke has never been one to go with the flow or blend in, especially when it comes to his endeavors in music. He has spent the last five years honing his skills as singer, songwriter, and producer. Now, at the age of 23, he’s beginning to see the fruits of his labour. In April 2007, Don Bowie, right hand man of super producer Bryan Michael Cox (Mary j.Blige, Usher, Chris Brown to name a few), discovered Voyce on Myspace.com. Bowie played Voyce’s material for Cox, and in a matter of weeks, the pair met with Voyce in New York. The rest, as they say, is history. Now signed under Bowie-Cox Management, Voyce is poised to share his unique talent with the world. And when you add all of this to the publishing contract that he recently signed with Warner Chappell Music, it becomes clear that Voyce Alexander is a voice that everyone needs to become familiar with. It also becomes clear that his ambitions toward music industry domination are not as far-fetched as they had originally seemed.GO GET ‘EM TIGER!!
Here’s the video for Day 26 “Got Me Going“

Falling behind + Steph Jones

Posted on March 30, 2008 by Lola

I know I know what you’re going to say : YOU ALWAYS DO THIS. But really this week has been OVER THE TOP for me. I have had a few friends in town and there have been some special events I’ve had to go out to, so no chance for me to blog…but you better beleive that I’m back on track… So let me start off by posting this video up…
This right here is my boy Steph Jones singing AND rapping on Chingy’s 3rd single called “All Aboard (Ride it)” at 3 in the morning in LA. He’s a super talented artist and if you like what you hear check him out on myspace at www.myspace.com/stephjones2 – very very talented artist… super sweetheart too!!

Pitch Black – It’s all real

Posted on March 25, 2008 by Lola

ere’s a video my boy Marlon put me on. It’s an underground group from Brooklyn,NY called Pitch Black. I think both the record AND the video are dope. Song was produced by DJ Premo and it came out back in ‘03 -’04 so it’s a little old but that don’t matter. If it’s hot it’s hot right?! If you want to see and hear more from them check them out on myspace at www.myspace.com/pitchblackny

LAWD HAVE MERCY!!

Posted on March 23, 2008 by Lola

So as I’m browsing around one of my favorite sites on the net www.mediatakeout.com (plug plug..) I found this video..I mean, yeah I’ve seen shit SIMILAR to this (like the big girl at Escape Nighclub who was trying to dance with one leg on top of the speaker, one leg on top of the DJ booth window and fell on the floor ON HER HEAD) but this video is straight WILD…in all senses of the word…

YES..I’m a big fan so I WILL keep posting videos and footage of him.This one particularly was done in England with Dj Semtex…Weezy does look a little spaced out…watch out for the question about who he’d like to do a collabo with!!On that note.. last night Source magazine had a party in NYC at Lotus Nightclub with Weezy as a special guest…and I wasn’t there..
