Don’t know if the article is appropriately titled, but let me say this: “I think Block may have found a winner with this one.”With the loss of Yung Joc who went platinum off his first album you could tell there was something missing. Gorilla Zoe stepped up and held it down but Block needed something else that was just as solid as Zoe to rectify it’s title as a label in the south to be reckoned with.

“…I’m in another world, my own world. I think I deserve to be there…” says Jeff Chery to open up the track “Zone Out”. It’s only right that fans are included in this alternate universe, which is why “Zone Out” is the next single from the Brooklyn-raised, Atlanta-based rapper.
We could careless about interviewing this guy that is why we are going in on his ass. John Mayer whom we actually liked up until he did his, stick his foot in his mouth interview with Playboy magazine, made some comfortable racist statements in the interview. More below.
This first time I saw B.o.B perform was in Atlanta for the Almost Famous showcase. Performing his cult classic “Cloud 9″ Bobby Rae was fresh off the ATL underground scene and full of all the hope and expectations that an artist with major label aspirations would have.
The 90’s was great era for hip-hop but it was equally great for R&B. Many acts have come and go since then, but the foursome of Jagged Edge has seemed to have staying power. Since their dropping their debut single “The Way That You Talk” back in 1997, JE has been a regular site on the R&B scene.
Apparently earlier reports from TMZ.com and Sandrarose.com about Kesan Moore abusing his daughter may not be true. According to him this so called incident took place back in July. He said he never abused his daughter and he believes they are trying to make him look bad. When asked why he was running he said that his lawyer told him to get all of his affairs in order. He still got charged and is awaiting trial. Listen to the interview.

Swazy Baby should be commended. While other up and coming artists are busy trying to bury their underground past, Swazy Baby continues to capitalize on his. And why not? It was using mixtapes as a way to build his buzz up intially, Swazy caught the eye of Bigga Rankin.
Clicking up with B-Rich and TJ Chapman, B.o.B was able to turn his underground success into a deal with Atlantic Records.After a slew of critically acclaimed mixtapes, cross-country tours and commercial placements B.o.B still has that spark in his eyes and energy in his voice that he did when I first saw him on stage.

C-Ride is used to the spotlight, even if you’re not used to his name yet. The Florida representor has been a staple of the Epidemic Music/Polo Grounds team for years now. After making a name for himself on the underground, he’s ready to make his presence known in the mainstream.
"I aint never left the scene! I’m always grinding." Bold words like that are normally served for underground artists still trying to get their buzz up. You wouldn't expect an artists who has signed to major deals, posted hit records and has sold units to still speak about grinding it out. But Yo Gotti isn't the average artist
