Love and Hip Hop Atlanta


The world's most entertaining and controversial reality show has made a successful return to the television screens of many drama thirsty individuals, including myself. In fact, the reality phenomenon has created a buzz like no other with the recent additions to the cast.

To avoid giving out spoilers on the show, I will only discuss the new additions to the show and the juicy drama that has transpired thus far. To begin, let discuss the new cast...



Let's begin with Bambi, her most notable mention is comes from Basketball wives LA. She was the quite party girl who knew how to push the buttons of her cast mates. However, on Love and Hip Hop she expresses her deep love for rapper Scrappy. However, rapper scrappy isn't to fond of being with one woman. Furthermore, the media just found out about Bambi being pregnant with his child. Unfortunately, Scrappy has stated many times that he isn't in love with Bambi, but will make it work out for the bun in the oven.  It would seem that her story line will revolve around Scrappy and his antiques with multiple women. Check out Scrappy's confession to fellow cast member Kirk.




Next, we have Tammy Rivera. Tammy is the fiancé of rapper, Waka Flocka Flame. They have had a tremulous 3 year relationship, however, they have finally decided to walk down the aisle. Rivera, is a business women with a very successful line of clothes for women. She is also a stylist and fashonista too the stars.


She brings a more humble, relaxed, and educated appeal to the show. However, the recent previews have shown trouble brewing with Rivera and cast member Joseline Hernandez. Check out a video about her high end fashion line.




Then, we have the secret addition to the show. Kaleena Harper (Spoiler alert) , who is the secret cast member that will be introduced very soon. Unfortunately, the drama just began and she hasn't stepped onto the show yet. However, for those who do not know who she is, Harper, was the third member of the highly successful group Dirty Money. After their disbandment, she has been working hard to become the solo artist she was born to be.



Last but not least, we have rapper Young Joc, who has officially joined the cast. The Atlanta recording artist is known for hit songs like "Its Going Down" which garnished him major success in the early 200s. Now, he is back in the limelight and has the heart of the infamous Karlie Redd. Their relationship constantly changes with the day. In fact check out the clip below to see Joc's reaction when Karlie is caught red handed flirting with R&B singer, Jeremih.


The show continues to gain a tremendous following. Especially after the infamous sex tape of cast member Nikko and Mimi Faust. Let's just say that the show is maintaining it's audience and racking up money for media moguls in VH1.

Stay tuned for the drama every Monday at 8:30pm/eastern time.




Album Review, Tamar Braxton


The month of September has been amazing to one well known artist in the R&B genre. With her recent album release this month, fans have been proactive in supporting her great product of R&B excellence. However, if you haven't had the opportunity to hear her artistry, then continue reading the review on her new album that is causing waves on R&B charts.

Tamar Braxton
If you haven't heard about the talented Tamar Braxton, you have been living under a rock. The beautiful blonde songstress has the voice, attitude, and charisma to pull off one of the greatest R&B albums of this summer. The feisty singer is the youngest sister of Toni Braxton and new mommy to baby Logan. She currently is a talk show host, reality superstar, and did I forget to mention a phenomenal singer.  The powerhouse vocalist made major waves after releasing her ballet "Love and War" which stayed at #1 for nine weeks on the BillBoard Adult Contemporary R&B Charts followed by her second single "The One" which ranked at #3. Both singles are featured on her new album and continue to cause a buzz on the radio airwaves.

Her new album, titled "Love & War" was released on September 3rd and has been heating up the charts. The album is full of smooth R&B ballads, funky diva club anthems, beautiful mid tempo showcases, and even a little gospel. The album in it's first week sold over 114,000 copies many of her fellow female R&B counterparts. With her Cd being sold at $11, the Love and War artist sold more than one million dollars in revenue in the first week of her album. With hits on the album such as, "All the Way Home," "Love & War," "The One," and "Hot Sugar" the album is sure to bring you too your feet or bust out a tune in the shower.  Out of 5 stars, I give Tamar's Album a 4.5 out of 5. To preview her new album click here.

Album Strengths
Very diverse sound, great lyrics, and ear grabbing music filled with great beats and melodies.

Album Weaknesses
There are too many slow ballads placed after one another on the album. An upbeat song in between some of the ballads would make the album seem more fluent. Other than that, great album.

Love & Hip Hop Atlanta , Reunion Show 1


If you missed Part 1 of Love and Hip Hop Atlanta, then you truly missed out on a comical television event. First off, this article is definitely a spoiler alert. I apologize in advance if you haven't had the opportunity to see the first part of the Reunion Special.

The show started off the same with introductions of the cast members by the executive producer of the show Mona Scott Young. Everything seemed to be great. The vibe was set right with the live band. Everyone was all smiles and the show seemed to be taken a more positive position. However, no more than five minutes went by and stuff starts hitting the fan.


In a split instant things were heated. Right out the gate, Joseline and Mimi exchanged words about their feelings towards one another. After a brief conversation filled with obscenities and B-words, Joseline became a bit agitated. Next thing you know, she takes off her heels and charges full speed towards Mimi.


I have to give security their props. They were definitely on their "A" game. They were able to restrain Joseline before she was able to reach Mimi. The altercation was stopped and security was on high alert.

Check out the argument that caused the tension in the room between Joseline and Mimi. Brought to you by VH1.com

After a quick commercial break Mimi, Joseline, and Stevie J were the center of attention. The ladies were asked about their experiences with their fellow co-star, Stevie J. Surprisingly, the ladies were able to speak with one another and actually agree with what they had to say about the infamous ladies man.


Mona Scott Young then went on to ask the question that everyone around the nation wanted to know. Are Stevie J and Joseline actually getting married? Unfortunately, Stevie J seemed hesitant to respond if the two lovers were tying the knot. Mimi offered her insight on Stevie J and Joseline. She even reached out too offer words of wisdom to Joseline, warning her about Stevie's ways.

Check out Mimi actually offering her words of advice.



The story line would end at the commercial break and two familiar faces were brought on stage accompanied by their mothers. Erica and Scrappy appeared on stage and this time there was an awkward silence amongst the two. 

The show highlighted the ending of their long and tumultuous relationship. The questions Mona had for  Erica had her at the brink of tears. However, she would not shed a tear for her former lover and father of her child. 


Both Scrappy and Erica obviously care for one another, but  Erica was concerned with the well being of their child. She respectfully discussed that she did not want anything more than a friendship with Scrappy at the moment. 

Check out the emotional break down Erica had on the show. 


The story would go back and forth between Erica and Scrappy. Ultimately, the decision remained the same. They were apart and they did not want to reconcile their relationship at the present moment.

Next, the show would give a quick cameo spotlight to Drew and Tracy Steele. Which highlighted their complicated co-parenting relationship.  

However, the thought on everyone's mind was the status of Rasheeda and Kirk. With Rasheeda being pregnant and Kirk just getting out the dog house for his public affair. The couple of 15 years is at a standstill and everyone wants to know what Rasheeda will do. 


The show ended with Rasheeda ultimately addressing the future of their marriage. But right before she can even mutter a response, the show is over. 

Part one is definitely a very entertaining reunion. The second part is sure to bring more laughs, drama, and news. Stay tuned for the second part of the reunion which premiers next Monday, August 12th at 8pm.
