Clay Evens (Grand Hustle) was killin' me last night. Haaaa!B.Cox & Teyana Taylor catching up while Tey gets her hands done Glam Bar style.
B.Cox plants one on Tey for me. Cute!

Rocawear partnered with Honey Magazine held an exclusive affair last night at Atlanta's premiere boutique beauty spot, The Glam Bar (Peter's St.) to celebrate Rocawears 10 year anniversary. And the party was definatley GlamRoc. With Grey Goose as the sponsor, the drinks rolled, hand crafted appetizers were served, the DJ kept the music live and celebrities like Teyana Taylor, Rich Girls, B.Cox, Jazze Pha, Vawn, Drumma, Sammie, DJ Trauma (Hot 107.9), Clay Evens and other "the beautiful people" (as i call them) rolled through. My favorite person of the night was definatly Clay Evens (Grand Hustle) who stayed outside for the most part (it was HOT as hades up in that spot with the crowd) clowing in between drinks. He was was my last conversation before i hit the rainy streets for home and he kept me laughing. After the event most of the stars headed to club Pure downtown for another big event joining rappers like Young Joc and JD as well as artist Meka Means. Oh and no shortage of groupies...so i heard from my friend Taylor via his Twitter. But that's the norm in ATL beeybe. Get used to it chicos...

GlamRoc rocked, very HOT event, litterally with how full it was! I had to step out for air a few times but it was well worth it. The Garner Circle did a great job.

DJ Trauma birthday bash brings the drama

Men of Honor! Happy birthday love!
Vawn & Jazze staying fresh (Welcome to Dreamland on BET)Dennis Byon (Management) & Maff Test in the building
Don Cannon (That kat is funny...)
Friend & Ray Daniels (Rock City's Manager)
Drumma Boy (Welcome to Dreamland BET)Packed like sardines...smh but everyone seemed to enjoy themselves (unless they were stabbed)

And not DJ Drama…well actually he was there too with his lady Summer Walker. But the kind of drama I’m talking about is the kind that sadly seems to erupt when you have too much testosterone in a packed place. The celebrity DJ of Hot 107.9 radio’s birthday ended with several men being involved in an altercation ending in 3 men being stabbed (via AJC). The first reports on the popular social network Twitter from some of the urban community were reports of gun shots and a shooting. The truth revealed the stabbing that took place right as Atlanta’s Luckie Lounge, the spot where the festivities were held, was shutting down for the night/day.

Well besides that I’m sure Trauma had a great time partying with his celebrity friends: Estelle, DJ Drama, Summer Walker, Drumma Boy, Vawn, Jazze Pha, Maff Test, Lil Duval, MLK, JD, Don Cannon, Ludacris (who kept a low profile…nothing new), Chaka and more. For me the party was just decent…nothing I hadn’t seen before in Atlanta, same ol. However lots of excited guests who wanted to be around celebrities (and pay $200 vip fees…WTH?!) showed out till there was no room to find your own face. It was hotter than Hades in that joint. Anyway happy birthday again to an obviously beloved DJ.

P.S. Late post due to internet down.

Welcome to Dreamland. From Atlanta to the world with Vawn & Drumma Boy

Drumma & Vawn

Chopped it up at Justin's restaurant with Vawn & Drumma Boy (Jazze Pha was mia), creator and super producer team of welcome to Dreamland, a reality TV show competition to find a female winner with the best overall musical package. Welcome to Dreamland isn't a stranger to television. The show got it's successful start on Atlanta's own local, Peachtree TV. Due to the shows success it was picked up to be re-run on BET for national viewing. Loving the good news.

A better judging team couldn't have been put together for the show. Drumma Boy, the cool, hit winning producer who keeps turning out hit after hit for major artists battles his team against the equally award winning, world famous and energetic Jazze Pha. The two producers have two different styles as they put these girls to the test in a boot-camp like tough love fashion at times but they both have the same goal, make a star!

Catch the show Tuesday nights at 10:30 p.m. on BET. If you missed it last season or even a few episodes...here is your chance. If you have already seen it, you can look for season two coming soon to BET. Either way, show support.

Watch the video attached above to find out more about the show as well as what Drumma Boy has been up to musically. He also has some GREAT guidance for the up and coming producers. He gave major love with this one, many thanks.

The audio is here for those who are solely listeners.

Thank you to Rahiem Shabazz for the info & camera work, World for the editing and Keisha McCotry of Prominence Marketing Group for the interview.

Drumma Boy's got the last beat

If he doesn't know you, he doesn't have much to say.

If you saw him in a crowd you might dap up the simply dressed, yet fashionable and stylish light skinned quiet dude then keep it movin'. You may not know that you just bumped hands with a rising star.

He's quiet. Yet confident. But it's his quiet confidence that adds to the Supa Producer appeal. Somewhat of an enigma, there is a smoldering fire in his eyes, and he doesn't offer smiles JUST to to be nice. Don't get all sensitive about it. Think "Jack Frost", but handsome. This "boy" is THE business, he's not playin'. Meet Christopher "Drumma Boy" Gholson. Blazin' down south producer responsible for hits like Plies, "Shawty", Jeezy's "White girl", and the Greg Street production featuring Jagged Edge & Fabulous for the remix, "You make me better". But he won't stay south only for long. You've heard the songs, it's obvious he's got skills. Part of the self built, exclusive, Drum Squad Productions, Drumma flawlessly weaves together his beats and compilations until it makes a perfect product. Then a song is matched and it sells. I mean can a song really sell without the beat anyway?? Finally some producers are getting the respect and recognition they deserve!

Okay I'm the first to admit the flaws in someone and then turn right back around and praise the hell outta them if they deserve! But I think above I already pointed out the icy aloofness of the man that could possibly put people off. But I don't know if that can really be considered a flaw in his situation. I actually found his cool demeanor somewhat refreshing. Maybe he's even humble, a rarity in this business...I can't tell yet. But being around lots of different men in this business at many events I find it a small comfort to run into one that wasn't puffing his chest out and trying to get extra attention in efforts to compensate for the love his momma neglected him of. Or something like that. Surely you dig. But his parents did something right. He comes from a family full of musical background. His father was an excellent clarinet player and his mother sang opera! They helped preserve a solid foundation for the star to shine.

I sat down with Drumma for an exclusive www.FindEntertainmentNow.com interview (click the link to see, or scroll down to the bottom of this story to see the video) this fall in a midtown Atlanta recording studio during one of his sessions with Dem Franchise Boys. He wasn't goofing off (I mean he was at work, paying for studio time so...), he wasn't surrounded by liquor, in fact he sipped on a fruity VitaminWater drink as he focused on the keys. He was busy! He is a workaholic! He is making that cheddar! And for a young man of 24, that's not a bad thing. If you look on his myspace page, you will see pictures of the Tennesee native posing, looking gansta, full of pride. Well he's a Leo, the sign of the prideful lion. It fits in one way. It doesn't in another. In person he was chill but don't be mislead, he's in control. I asked a question and he gave an answer at times a more excited answer. He didn't ramble on and on about himself and all his accomplishments...blah blah blah. He didn't feel a need to. He knows who he is and where he is headed; straight up the success food chain.

I can tell you something important about Drumma Boy. There are many music biz hopefuls out there in the studios mixing, and playing and calling themselves producers. As for Christopher Gholson there is no claim, only fact. He is not a beat maker, he is a producer.

During our interview I delved a little into the personal character of the boy called Drumma, the man and the mind behind the music. I got some great info (click here to see our talk/interview) but I'm sure those he calls his companions know the more intimate/non Hollywood side of Chris: the man that jokes it up with his boys, the man that goes out and has fun at the club (he and manager Squeak -who is awesome- came to Keri Hilson's 80's themed 25th bday party bash this past Saturday at The View), the man that loves his family. That stuff may be saved for those who are closer to him, real people in his life. Drumma did share with me that he loves to bball on the court, oh and the man likes to cook for his family! He said he can thrown it down! He told me that with a warm smile. It finally put me at ease because truth, his seriousness made me a little nervous at first. Plus it was my first REAL interview! So yes he cooks! The only problem was when he told me that I was sitting there hungry as a mufu!

Back outside the recording room, the rest of the crew at the studio (Tasha Ramos, lovely singer from StarTrak, Dem Franchise Boys, managers, and staff- those interviews also on YouTube) was chillin', loud, playing Nintendo Wi, having fun, ordering cheese burgers, gossiping...you know being normal I suppose. I relaxed a little. But I didn't forget that informative time spent with the incredible producer. He wasn't so hard faced after all. In fact he was rather kind in a cool way. Drumma may be quiet on the surface but get to know him because his music speaks loudly.
