In the words of the homie Telisa D, Atlas’ is a “rapping ass rapper!”

Surely you remember…

Werk! Two of my favorite, rapping/sanging, triple threat international rude gals did a photoshoot and talked about what inspires their art. I don’t know what the photoshoot was for but they look fly and when these ladies speak, you should listen. Check them out:

Nola Darling Photo Shoot from Revery Media on Vimeo.

And they say female hip-hop is a lost genre. Pssssh!

Show them some love at www.NolaDarling.com.

She looks good. Check out behind the scenes footage of the shoot:

However, we must still make sure to teach the babies that she’s an entertainer and that it’s not cute to wannabe a Barbie in real life.

Rapper/Producer Christina K might be from “Murrland” but that doesn’t mean she wasn’t up on Big. In fact, she made a song called “Maryland” a couple of years ago that paid homage to her hometown but also to Biggie at the same time because she rapped over his beat for “Every Day Struggle” ( from Ready to Die). She begins the song by saying, “Biggie said he was ready to die on this track, but I’m ready to live so I had to flip it.”

P.S. Christina K is the real mastermind behind Nas and Green Lantern’s “Black President.” I’ll have to repost the interview I did with her for Honey magazine, but in the meantime, check out her music HERE.

Rah Digga released a teaser song for her forthcoming album called “Warning.” The beat was produced by Nottz. However, this will not be on her album, she’s just licking shots as the song suggests.

Download “Warning” here!

According to Honey Magazine, ex Flipmode Squad member, Rah Digga, will finally drop her sophomore album this June. Word on the street is that producer Nottz will be a major part of Digga’s this album. Details are still sketchy but Digga says, “I can’t try to conform to what the [music] industry thinks I should be doing on records I think should be a single, I should try to run after Akon or T-Pain on the hook, I’m just going to do what I love to do.”

Do y’all understand what’s about to go down? Rah Digga is one of the nicest rappers I’ve ever heard! Remember 1999’s classic, Dirty Harriet? That was such a dope but slept on album. Let us reminisce:

P-Star Now

My first introduction to P-Star was when I worked open mic nights at NYC’s Club Speed every Wednesday nearly six years ago. She was nine then and extremely talented as she would command the mic and spit bars for days. The word on the street was that she wrote her own rhymes so imagine how much better she is now! Since the Club Speed days, I’ve since seen her on MTV, on a kiddie reggaeton DVD and she is now a teenager and part of the cast of the recently revived Electric Company.

What I didn’t know then was that she was the subject of a documentary entitled P-Star Rising, which chronicles her rise to stardom carefully guided by her father/manager, Jesse Diaz.

Meet Devynity. Super nice. From Southside Jamaica, Queens like another femcee we all know.

#Fun fact: The three of us all went to the same high school.

Evil abounds, that is…the evil genius behind this video blog. And right on the heels of my last post about Lil’ Kim wanting to be Barbie.

That totally made my day. BWAHAHAHAHA!!!!
