Wow! What an ACTION-PACKED PLAYLIST!!!! There are so many HOT SONGS here, that you really just want to click PLAY and let it be the soundtrack for your weekend! My partner J.Write would be mad if I didn't mention to pay special close attention to the new T-Pain ft Ludacris, "Chopped & Screwed!" Alicia Keys is in the lineup with Jack White as they recorded the newest James Bond theme. Mary J. Blige jumps on a track with Musiq Soulchild, Kanye re-releases "Love Lockdown," and vocal powerhouses and American Idol alums Jennifer Hudson and Fantasia are on the SAME TRACK! These are just SOME of the HITS in this list. JUST PRESS PLAY!!! Have a great weekend!
The Georgia World Congress Center has of fire this weekend for V103's 17th annual For Sisters Only Conference. This was my 1st year attending FSO, but the overall experience, while quite "swap meet-esc", was an overall awesome experience which showcased a bunch of business networking, family togetherness, and all out entertainment. Check out a few pics from the event; you know Atlanta "pappo" Freddyo was on deck with camera in hand to catch all of the artists doing their thing.

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!!!

Check out this clip of Atlanta's own Ludacris on 106 & Park. He spoke on rival artist T.I. and had some interesting things to say. Happy 30th Birthday Luda!!!
Shawnna is no longer on Ludacris' Disturbing Tha Peace imprint. DTP will be making the official announcement of Shawnna's departure during a press conference on Thursday (April 26). Though Shawnna is leaving, a notable "former DTP" artist is coming back. Former Capitol Records' artist Chingy has mended old fences and has returned to the house that Luda built. Both Chingy and Shawnna will appear on the upcoming DTP compilation album Strength In Numbers, slated to hit shelves in early July.
