A HOT RIDE!!!

what the bat cycle would look like if I had dress in a bat mask..black tights and a cape...

"Enzyme-Design's Icare is the perfect picture of a high-end futuristic bike. With it’s unconventional looks, breathtaking design and an engine (Honda 6 cylinder flat engine and 1800 cm3) that is beyond the ordinary ones, the Icare is the future of motorcycles

The bike looks more like an alien vehicle, from another corner of the galaxy. The powerful body styling would make you feel more secure when riding along the notorious highways of NYC.

FONZWORTH BENTLEY, KANYE, ANDRE 3000 & SA-RA!!!

there's always going to be records you wish you worked on..this is one for us...

Atlanta bred tastemaker, television host and MC, Fonzworth Bently has gone from holding umbrellas for Diddy to holding mics with some of the most legendary MCs to spit.

The dapper artist has proved himself to be a triple threat in the music, television and fashion industry by simply exuding a bit of his southern charm and injecting a bit of class and style in the often comically thuggish world of mainstream Hip Hop. Coinciding with the debut of Bentley’s new show “From G’s To Gents” he now releases a new video “Everybody” featuring Andre 3000, Kanye West and Sa-Ra, from his long delayed debut album titled “C.O.L.O.U.R.S.”

(An acronym for Cool Outrageous Lovers of Uniquely Raw Style). The track introduces Bentley’s unique rhyme style and cadence over a distinctly electro, funk, rhythm and blues canvas that recalls Andre’s “The Love Below” masterpiece. For good measure 3K drops an ill verse and Kanye does the chorus & a bit of acting and choreographed dancing as Sa-Ra bangs on the instruments.

NOEL GOURDIN "THE RIVER" VIDEO

The CD single cover for the 1st time Columbia released the song on 2006

So as we said in an earlier post..
Noel is an extremely talented artist from Boston,
signed to EPIC records (originally signed to Columbia records)..

we put together this street soul gem for him a year ago..and it just started taking off this year after steve Harvey got behind the song and played it every morning (on his morning show)
for months!!..

The single cover the second time it was released asa single by Epic records

well Epic finally got around to doing a video for it...
in our opinion, they veered from the obvious great visual it could have been..
but hey at least it's out..
VH1 Soul is spinning it...

YOUTH AT RISK - VOLUNTEER APPRECIATION DAY DINNER 4/2008

YOUTH AT RISK
Volunteer Appreciation Day 2008

Youth at Risk (YAR) is a not-for-profit, volunteer driven organization committed to transforming the chaotic lives of young people through persistent and compassionate mentoring.

Since 1985, Youth at Risk (YAR) has committed to transforming the lives of disadvantaged youth who exhibit maladaptive behaviors such as truancy, violence, gang membership, physical and verbal violence, and at-risk sexual activity.

Their mission is to decrease the at-risk behavior of youth and to enhance the effectiveness of the people who live and work with them. Youth At Risk currently provides both prevention and intervention services.

I was lucky enough to be a part of this great organization when i was younger and it helped me immensely..

An integral part of all Youth At Risk programs is the adult volunteer who becomes a Mentor. Volunteers are trained using a specific and effective curriculum, designed by us, to maximize each young person’s chance to succeed. The Committed Partner Mentor develops a one-on-one relationship to support youth, identify their needs, and declare personal projects with timelines.

To gain a better understanding, you should attend one of their weekly First Orientation Sessions and learn more about Youth at Risk's mission and the expectations of being a mentor.

got to the website and read up on it...
