BRiSON ON LOCATiON: V103 SOUL SESSiON/R&B SPOTLiGHT

Posted by Jason Dinsmore on Wednesday, September 3, 2008 , under , , , , , , , , , , , , , , |



Last night reminded me of exactly why I LOVE living in the A! V103 teamed up with Remy, Lincoln, Devyne Stephens, and a few other sponsors to bring one of the most exclusive events to hit Atlanta, the R&B Spotlight at Club Opera. This musical event brought out the right amount of new school R&B infused with just enough old school to make you feel good in your soul. Last night's performers included Ray Lavender, Lil Ronnie, Noel, Rozelle, Keri Hilson, Monica (who showed that she and special guest Luda are "Still Standing"), Keith Sweat (who brought out Lil' G of Silk), and a killer closing performance by "Mr. White Chocolate" himself, Robin Thicke. As if the performer list wasn't tight enough, the VIP section was extra star studded with spectators such as Akon, Nicole Ari Parker, Boris Kodjoe, Polow Da Don's label Zone 4, Jazze Pha, Bryan Michael Cox, Dirty Rose, and so many more. Check out our pics and make sure you get out and support this new wave of R&B stars; they ALL showed out last night!!!! Shout outs to Randy from Club Opera and to the V103 staff; thanks for always looking out!!!

Akon's Sorry...Blame It On Him

Posted by Jason Dinsmore on Thursday, June 14, 2007 , under , , |



Now everybody knows that in the past I have not been the biggest KONVICT supporter. It’s not that I don’t like Akon, T-Pain, and crew, I just haven’t always been convinced, but as of recently, I have had nothing but the best to say about the entire camp. This story will read no differently. Akon is again in the news, but this time shining in a more positive light. It’s no secret about the 14 year old girl, nor about the little boy he supposedly threw in the crowd, but what most people found peculiar was the fact that Akon himself hadn’t released much of a statement in regards to his actions; well all of that changed recently when Devyne Stephens, CEO of Konvict Records personally dropped off Akon’s form of a statement at one of the local Atlanta radio stations yesterday afternoon. Akon’s statement came in the form of a song (in which I actually like). Take a second and listen to Sorry, Blame it on Me, and let us know what you think. Akon definitely takes time to apologize for more than just his recent activities, but what I like is that while media, the club’s and even Verizon wants to point the finger at Akon solely, he keeps it 100 and accepts EVERYBODY’S responsibility, even though he’s not 100 percent to blame; way to MAN UP AKON!!! You definitely just won another fan (as if he were hurting for any).

On another note of praise for the Konvict crew: T-Pain's album EPIPHANY showed up #1 on Billboard's Hot 200 albums chart, beating out Rhianna's GOOD GIRL GONE BAD...I guess we can say 'shawty still snappin'!!!)
