    Listen to My Top 5 Albums from Ludacris

    If you had to list them, what are your top 5 albums from Ludacris? After listing my top 5 albums from another Atlanta legend, T.I. we turn to Ludacris. Ludacris began his career back in 1999. Incognegro was his first album and it was independent. The last album he released was Ludaversal back in 2015. Ludacris have done his fair share of acting as he’s been a part of the Fast and the Furious franchise. Twenty years later, Ludacris has been teasing new music as he’s clocking in studio time with Timbaland. Throughout the years, Ludacris is either loved or hated by fans and critics. For one, Ludacris is very…

    Visit Smokey Bones At Mall of Georgia for Family Fun

    With my 39th birthday coming up on Tuesday, my family wanted to take me out to dinner to celebrate. My wife asked me. Where would I like to eat, and I’ll be honest; I didn’t have a clue. About an hour later, she asked if I had decided, and I really couldn’t think of anything special I wanted. She reminded me that Smokey Bones just opened a new store in the Mall of Georgia, how did I forget that? I’ve been craving Smokey Bones for years because I’ve eaten there quite a few times before they closed the doors in our hometown. I remember my son being so young and…

    Outkast Dropped Their Debut Album 22 Years Ago Today

    One of my all-time favorite groups and Atlanta’s own, Outkast dropped their debut album, Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik twenty-two years ago today. Before the album dropped, I remember having the gold & purple CD that was their debut single, Player’s Ball when they were passing them out. When people talk about Outkast, I don’t think many realize how impactful their sound was when they dropped because Atlanta was known for the club or booty-shaking music with the likes of Kilo, Raheem the Dream, DJ Kizzy Rock and many others. Outkast ushered in the player lifestyle, while bringing some dope lyrics in the process while introducing other acts in the process. On one of…

While I’m not going to back any particular candidate, I am going to highlight some facts that should help to explain the situation. Nobody knows who will win the final vote and become the…
