Cover Story: Sean Falyon Featured In The Los Angeles Times
June 30, 2011
Sean Falyon literally is one of the hardest working cats I know in this music industry. Before I even knew who he was I’d literally see him all over Atlanta at every event, concert, show, or function. Keep in mind Sean Falyon is originally from Philly & my hometown is known for that blue collar work ethic but Sean Falyon manages to be virtually everywhere putting in 300%. If Sean Falyon wasn’t an artist it’s clear that he could easily become the perfect manager for someone because of his work ethic & methods are straight textbook. Sean’s grind is so real even the Los Angeles Times picked up on it & did a story on him entitled ‘Sean Falyon’s Guild To Being Everywhere’. Check out the complete interview below….

Producer D-Dot Explains His Feud with Kanye West
June 28, 2011
In an interview with XXL, former Bad Boy producer D-Dot did not hide his distaste for Kanye West, his former protege. Kanye claims he ghost produced for D-Dot at the beginning of his career. D-Dot says:
I didn’t do nothing to him. I didn’t rob him. All that ghost production shit he started and had the world makin’ ‘em think that he did everything.
Kanye says D-Dot took credit for tracks he did not produce. The two shared credits on tracks like Nas’ Poppa Was a Playa.
D-Dot said the two are respectful when they see each other but,
…all that shit he had people believing is actually disrespectful by believing that somebody like myself would actually take his music and rob him and put my name on it like he didn’t get credit.

Lupe Fiasco Appears On Fox News To Debate With Bill O’Reilly (Video)
June 20, 2011
Props to Yardie for this video…..everyone I know has been waiting for Lupe to speak out on his comments regarding President Obama & the wars talking place. I can see where Lupe may have been going with some of his comments, but it’s clearly evident that Fox News may have edited out some of Lupe’s comments to their own advantage. It would have been a better discussion had it been on-air live.

4-ize Sticker Campaign Causes Stir in Atlanta
June 9, 2011
For Atlanta residents seeing a red sticker on a sign, pole, or wall usually mean one thing; 4ize has been here.
4ize’s stickers have been a apart of the city for years and this week some of the good folks at CBS Atlanta took notice (few years too late). The news crew counted close to 100 stickers on the Flat Shoals exit ramp on I-20 East and they have been there for quite some time.
4ize tweeted: “Must be a slow day in Atlanta news when they reporting on my 4 year old sticker demo.”
CBS interviewed some people who had complaints about the stickers and sought out the Atlanta Department of Public Works to see what their stance was on the stickers. A spokesman for the office deemed it illegal. We will see if any further actions are take regarding the stickers, TOTAL WASTE OF TIME but the promotion garnered from this non-story is what the stickers were put up for.
