A lovely Keri Hilson killin' 'em in that dress, parties w' Johnta Austin & JD (Haha @ JD tryna tall up on the couch)
Rich Boy rocked the mic
Fabulous looked like gumby
Diamond & Scrappy showed up representing "Hood Luv" (and WHAT?!)
T.I. signed off
Baby fans at DTLR signing... :) DTLR pics from BE Magazine
View TONS more Keri Hilson party photos here in FreddyO's gallery, great pics, you don't wanna miss these!
Hilson made her small mark from sought after, talented writer to song bird after coming onto the scene with her first single, club banger, "The way i are" with producing music legend, Timberland in later of 2007. Smart move Keri. She then threw the illllllllest birthday party i had been to in 2007. ATL shawty! I can't even talk about it too deep...trust me it was just THAT party. BUT i will tell you, she had major talent rollin' through to show ya girl love that had many people asking the same ol, "Who she (this "one song" unknown singer) effin to bring out all these stars?". But such talk is nothing new in this critical industry. The celebs at Keri's "coming out" party were humble, not stuck in VIP all night but mingling with the fans and media, while Team Keri (Kudos always to Garner Circle PR!) set the whole affair up to resemble your favorite 1980's movie complete with McDonald's happy meals...(yes really), free shots of some tasty madness and gift bags for all guests with things like Hennessy in them. I love a star that's not stingy or at least has pure sponsor power pull. Ummm yeah...memories & good times...aaaaah.
Well Hilson has been on a small tour this week to promote her album across the states making a stop at home in Atlanta yesterday. She packed out clothing store, DTLR last night with a line down the ding dang (thanks Necee) block with fans wanting to get a piece of the tall beauty. Later that evening she had Music Business Politics' Hannh Kang set up club Opera ala Alice in Wonderland style as she partied it up with celeb friends, Polow Da Don (and his bevy of beckies...you will see), Richy Boy, power mover Shocka Zula (DTP), super producer Drumma Boy (doing BIG things & going out of the country in a few days), Fabulous (love him), Diamond (post Crime Mob), Lil Scrappy (newly DTP signed AND Diamond's boo), Jazze Pha and my favorite, T.I. (prayers & respect go out for his year & a day sentencing given today). There were others too but right now i don't feel like saying all the names so view the above lovely pictures taken from my friends over at the phenomenal BE Magazine and celebrity photographer Freddy O and see it you can "name that celeb"...or not. I'm still a lil salty that Keri had us waiting till ummm...almost 1 am to get pictures, etc. But i got over it. The DJ WAS HOTT, there were a couple performances, and the party inside was...aight. I just don't find pleasure in partying with a bunch of silly 21 year olds, who mostly took up the dance floor, these days. Besides my job was not to party but to capture. And i think i did just that. So after i did i was ghost. Ciao!
Team Keri! She is rockin' it. Good voice, great production. GET Keri's album here!
Thanks to, Tahira Wright of Branded PR, Nicole & Garner Circle PR and Hannah Kang of Music Business Politics for that last minute entry.

Critics can say what they want about, Keri Hilson. Like how talentLESS she is, how she's JUST another pretty face, or how she's too arrogant to sell records, but the numbers don't lie and "Miss Keri Babeee" showed out. Keri dropped her first album, "In a perfect world" this past Tuesday, with one day sales hittin' at about ummm...85-90k units sold, HELLO! You may not love her, you aint gotta like her, but you gotta respect the hustle.
