I don't know all the semantics of decades and all that mess but it is a new year! And don't get it twisted, I am excited about the new year because 2009 sucked worse than my cat knocking the trash can over and eating everything in it! This year, whether you made a resolution or not, I am gonna ask you to leave the drama way back wherever you can. Cause 2010 is gonna be huge for Miss Solow Dolow, my readers/supporters, and those who rock with me elsewhere. We are kicking the new year off with my favorite song of 2009!!! Love you all and enjoy your New Years Day!!!!
I know I said the previous low was gonna be the absolute last one but I couldn't help when all these tracks rushed me this past weekend! So, Hot 107.9 Jingle Bash in Atlanta was this past weekend. Full of Young Money mess. But I digress cause I didn't bother myself to go. Maybe next year.
I got some heat for you guys! New Muffy feat. Gucci Mane, a super hot compilation of five female emcees, pretty recent Naledge (Yoooo!), amongst more! As Drake bids farewell to his career for 2010, Skills bids farewell to 2009 for us. And I love the video for this list! I embedded just for you guys, it's just that good. You can never go wrong with a Lady Gaga cover! Enjoy! Have a great new year! I shall see you on the other side of 2009!
Side Note: Don't mind that picture of Nicki Minaj. Death to the Barbie and life to the Bratz!

“Lil wayne gotta be number one,” Khaos Da Rapper says. She has been matched up to many, but only accepts a few. “All dope comparisons but so many. I'm me! I don't even watch TV or listen to the radio. With the exception of maybe Lauryn[Hill] and MIA a little bit what you hear is purely Khaos,” she explains.
The up north native moved to Atlanta,Ga five years ago in search of something new and that’s exactly what she got.
“This was a totally new scene to me,” Khaos Da Rapper begins. And interestingly enough, gaining new fans for Khaos was not the hard part. It was showing them everything she was capable of that took more time than she expected. “I sing. I rap. I do exactly what I'm feeling like at that moment. I don't classify me. I make ‘whatever music.’ I have totally different sounds, feelings, emotions and my acapellas are ridiculous! No beat needed.”
On Saturday night, Khaos wants to take the crowd overseas. “I'm taking my audience on the tour in my head. Where I'm from,” she describes. Many will be enjoying her show on January 2nd because she is always up on everything and her entrance into the Perfect Attendance experience shows this.
“When it comes to Fadia Kader events and showcases, I believe in support and I’ve been to a Perfect Attendance this past summer. Fadia told me she'd be doing an all female addition and she wanted to put me on!” Khaos expresses great excitement.
Khaos relationship with the other Perfect Attendance artists is great. She’s great friends with Corinne Stevie and Richelle L. Brown. Hopefully their collaboration track will be released soon. She does add that she’d love to work with all of them. Boom Box Muzic will definitely give her that opportunity.
Boom Box Muzic started out as a production company that consisted of Khaos and her New Jersey colleagues. In 2010, it is expected to become an all digital record label that she’s dreamed of since she was a teen. “It’s my destiny and what I've been doing since I was about 16. We help every ‘artist’ bring life to their art and find the best way to get it to their fans. Also, we build new ones the way they did it back when music way super dope.”
Because of Boom Box, Khaos says we can look forward to different yet diverse music. “We make whatever music so expect a great line-up of whatever artist. From rock and rap to this and that.” And although she won’t be an artist on her own label, she still plans to develop real artists. In the new year, she is focused on developing herself.
“New year? New management. Collaborations? I've been doing tons of writing. I gotta! Placements? Possibly,” she exclaims. Her upcoming project can simply be explained as something special but don’t expect a release date. “I honestly don't give a fuck, but this is a big year for me,” she says. “I’m gonna bring everyone to where I'm at, at that very moment! That could be anywhere, so stay tuned.

Prepare to be dazed on January 2nd by an afro-punk individual with a powerful future ahead of her. Dolldaze wants everyone in her audience to get high and truly let go in order to feel the heart and enthusiasm of her music.
“My stage performance is my release so anything is bound to happen. I aim to blackout,” the alternative crooner says with excitement. Her one and only known comparison to Tina Turner leaves her wondering if she’s in a genre all her own. At the forefront of this different singing class, she expresses that “The leader will lead” and hard work is necessary to make that happen.
“I have been performing my ass off! The performance is the biggest factor in the spread of the music and the brand theDolldaze,” she emphasizes. Those performances may or may not have led Fadia Kader to her manager, but it certainly led her to a spot on the lineup for Perfect Attendance; however, her shows did get her kudos from another upcoming Perfect Attendance performer staHHr. “I’ve seen her performance many times. She's a great artist.” the Atlanta OG in hip hop adds.
Dolldaze herself would love to work with some other cool Atlanta ladies, Corinne Stevie and Richelle L. Brown. “They have pure honest vibes. I like the tunes and art they put out,” she shares.
And she does not ask for much. When she started taping her Dollhouse video blogs, her expectations lied no further than everyone getting to know her and her music. “I am just a down to earth chick from Atlanta trying to put some good vibes out in the universe. I am just out here trying to put dynamic music out. I love the alternative.” So far she’s received great feedback but there is always that one. “Everything is not for everybody so you will always have your naysayers. But it's all good,” Dolldaze explains.
Her work with the guitar creates meaningful and enlightening sounds of beauty, so the naysayers can say what they want. Lyrically, her “Words” are strong and flow fiercely with each cord she pierces. Her upcoming presentations include "Iluminate the Sky", a track on the “Noise Porn,” compilation from the online publication Art Nouveau magazine. It was her experience completing “Acid Report: The Missing Peace” that was the most thrilling. She was involved from the writing to the arranging to the mastering. It was her first attempt at production and work with a band, but it was successful. She looks forward to working with them beyond the EP. It was something special for her. “I feel connected because I feel I am doing something a bit outside of the mainstream.”
Coming soon is her “Mystic Novel” project, which may not be released all at once, but its separation will get you amp-ed for what’s yet to come. Until then, enjoy the new year. The dazed one “Sends dazed love and hugs your way for this Holiday season!”

An email from Fadia Kader to become apart of what many are awaiting this weekend shed light on one of the most imaginative and inventive creatures in Atlanta. She can hang amongst the visual artists and roll with the musical punches. Miss Corinne Stevie does it all. Never a routine morning or evening, a day in the life of this artsy individual will show her versatility from all aspects of the industry. “A day in my life can vary. I could be doing anything from working on music to sketching for a painting,” Stevie tells me. The "Day in the Life" cut off her Beatles hip hop homage “Strawberry Fields in the Sky” explains the many things you can catch her doing daily. Stevie’s definition of art begins with her, moves to paper, jumps to canvas, and eventually comes out through her performances. She does admit that her dancing can be hit or miss. “My dance moves can be random. I'm all over the place when I perform.” Her dancing is not the only thing that can be all over the place. Her life between Miami and Atlanta puts her between her hustle and her family, but her dedication to what she does and who she is brings her the fan base she’s always wanted with her art and music. “I've been myself. I'm really passionate about my art and craft so any opportunity I get to share it I will,” Miss Stevie expresses. She definitely shares her gifts through Art Nouveau. The online publication is about people, culture, music, art, and life. As a major contributor and illustrator to the magazine, her work is displayed throughout the web site. Her collaborations do not stop there. Along with her EP covers, an upcoming children’s book, and being the first music artist on the publication’s music label; Stevie's doing a lot. She sees herself everywhere. Expect her to be all over the place on January 2nd. She’s excited about the performers and what the showcase is going to do for all of them. “It’s exciting to be apart of something like this. There's nothing like it and so much talent. It’s gonna be a good show and some good music.” Nothing more and nothing less. Too Shy (Gotdion Remix) See, hear, and speak more Corinne Stevie at her MySpace Pages(and www.myspace.com/corinnef), Blog, Twitter, and Art Nouveau.
“F.E.M.C.E.E.? I just stopped using it. Some people loved it and others hated it. Change comes as you grow.,” a well-known female MC of Atlanta hip hop tells me. She’s been on the Atlanta music scene since 1992, but she is far from done with her message to support, empower, and strengthen all humankind. Even since then people have somewhat tried to change her. “People have tried to change my name, add to my name. They’ll change the spelling of it, but I’m formally and professionally known as staHHr.”
Stahhr is known to many as a female wordsmith and an empress. The hook up with Fadia Kader for the Perfect Attendance showcase was as simple as a phone call and a common ‘my people will get back to your people.’
While she awaits an optimistic future collaboration with what she quickly considered the phenomenal Dolldaze, she is excited to see what the other women of the showcase have to offer on January 2nd. As for her, just straight Golden Era, love, life, energetic hip hop can be expected from the stage into the crowd.
Recently, more than ever, it is through her lyrics that she wants you to focus on the balance between content quality and quantity she is helping to create in hip hop.
“Music is really powerful. If you’re listening to something that’s calling you a bitch all day or telling you you’re good for sex and you keep listening, then you’ll start believing in that. It’s programming. That’s something that will always exist we can’t get rid of it. I just want it to be balanced. It needs to be balanced,” she recognizes in the current state of hip hop. But this does not stop her from acknowledging those, including herself, that are gradually making that balance happen for the people. “A lot of local people are doing a great job; Mike Lo, Supanova Slom, and Diamond District. Jay Electronica does a good job of balancing consciousness with royal lyricism and bringing a street edge to it.”
Her belief is that consistency was and still is the key to her gaining and keeping fans since actively performing on the Atlanta scene since 1998. “I’ve seen it go from two females in a cipher at Underground Atlanta to what it is now. I support people and I try to keep something out there, even if it’s just a collaboration or a mixtape. Internet promoting and I guess word of mouth promoting. Aligning myself with people who have an audience and open you up to new fans and other audiences. Consistency is the number one thing.”
Stahhr understands that relationships in this industry are important. One relationship that started over a decade ago, led her to what many believe, myself included, will be a heavy hitting, head-turning project in 2010. She the Hard Way is a master alliance created by Atlanta hip hop legend DJ Sol Messiah. “I met Messiah in ’93 and we were finally able to work together.” Rhymists Rita J, Saroc, Khalilah Ali, Boog Brown, and Stahhr share one mic bringing professional content and talent. “Every sister that’s involved brings their own unique style. They are all strong lyrically and they are all strong performance wise.”
In the baby stages of a new album with producers from Iceland and a mashup Cd of gifted and significant women in Atlanta hip hop for 2010, Stahhr is definitely be shining in hip hop now, but expect her to be uplifting forever. “I’m all for empowerment definitely because I think the female voice is not heard often and then when it is you only hear two extremes and nothing in the middle. I guess I’m that middle.”

Her comparisons alone make you wonder and want to listen. “In no particular order, I’ve been compared to Cee-Lo, Beyonce, Erykah Badu, Kelis, Teena Marie, but they come so weird to me,” the earthy yet expressive being immediately begins to separate herself from the international talents.
Richelle Brown is some type of Soul. The singer has an energy that lives through her voice. “I’m full of burning bright fire that just wants to heat thangs up! I’m all about flying high, it’s my nature and it reflects in everything I am and in what I do!” When Fadia Kader, the head of Atlanta’s own Broke and Boujee, calls her to participate in the upcoming Perfect Attendance mixtape and showcase, she was game. Being familiar with the other artists on the mixtape makes her appearance on Perfect Attendance even better. “I’ve hung out with Eva Kennedy. She is really talented woman. I’ve also worked with Khaos and Corinne Stevie. We have not made a big deal about the track we worked on but we really should.”
Richelle Brown is some type of Blues. The first song she ever recorded was heart-felt and created a power in her to move forward no matter what others said about her in the past. “Swagga Black Country Queen is dedicated to my past obstacles and naysayers.” Her other songs and their concepts mean more than you can imagine. Just when no one can confidently criticize Berry Gordy’s The Last Dragon, Miss L. Brown found inspiration from the movie’s soundtrack. “"Super Funky Sounds" was inspired by Vanity's "7th Heaven" from the movie. It started out as a poem,” she says. And remember that bass the dirty south kicked it to in the 90s; she’s inspired by that too. “"Electric Funky Girl" is a flirty song inspired by the down south Freaknic bass music and 70s funk.”
Richelle Brown is some type of Rhythm. When Brown performs, it’s a celebration full of color, life, love, and high spirits. On January 2nd, Brown says the crowd can expect “the uplifting of Ma’at[Egyptian principle] within myself, raising my Kundalini[channeling her energy], some therapy, and just getting the crowd up to jam.” As for her other upcoming projects, “The song “Take it to the Next Extreme” with Khaos and Corinne Stevie is hot! It has a real nice 90s, West coast Dr. Dre and Devin Da Dude vibe. Other than that, because of priority shifts in my life, I’m intending to become a spiritual scholar and sharing it in my music as well as being fly at the same time; taking that old consciousness in music to the next level in sounds and vibrations.” She’s also hoping to do some major work with SMKA after the showcase, so lookout for that.

Okay before I begin, let me place this disclaimer for this post and any conversations I may have with you involving myself not liking an artist or anything entertainment for that matter: Just because I do not like something, does not mean I am a hater.
With that being said, let me go into my new motto, "Realize. Appreciate. Support." The homie Jawar is a motivational speaker that speaks of branding yourself in all aspects of life. He has a motto that he lives and operates by, which is "Think. Plan. Execute." His motto basically says that whatever you want to do in life, you need to think about it in depth, create a plan that you will stick to, and execute everything that you've planned.
I was thinking of my branding and of course I want to brand myself with my government, Ngozi Isabelle Ahanotu, but I love who I have become as a writer and I am still learning. Miss Solow Dolow is a hard working entertainment journalist that tries her best to be on point when it comes to music period. She gives her all when discussing her passion for music and what artists represent society and their talent properly.
The motto that MSD and Ngozi Isabelle Ahanotu live and operate by is "Realize. Appreciate. Support." I have come to understand people can be very critical of music if they don't fully understand it's purpose. All music has a purpose and when one comes to realize that, they will be able to appreciate what it's purpose is, and then support it. Support can be negative or positive, but you know how they say all publicity is good publicity, well all support is good support. When someone is blasting you or your music, they are still writing or talking about you, forcing someone to know of you and see for themselves. Which leads me to my primary example: Wale.
Good 'ol Olubowale Folarin AKA Wale is a Nigerian-American rapper from DC. I first heard of Wale through RE, who posted his Nike Boots track. I thought it was aight. Nothing great but that's neither here or there. Wale was held close to my heart because he was Nigerian. I always love all African artists, no matter if they are good or bad. So I was all for Wale because he was Nigerian and I felt his purpose to me was to be a Nigerian in the rap world. I digress, I do not think Wale is that great. He's a great lyricist and I'm sure he's a good person, but I don't think he will be around too long(kinda like Drake won't be around long either). The reason I do like some of Wale's tracks, because he reminds me of Kanye West before 808's and Heartbreaks.
So I believe and REALIZE that Wale is here to serve as our 2009 Kanye West because we all see that Kanye West is so far gone. I APPRECIATE what he will bring to the industry and he has brought so far. I can't hate dude been working. I do SUPPORT him cause I post his songs in leiu of me not really liking him musically.
So there it is. Realize. Appreciate. Support. people =)
I love B.O.B. and Playboy Tre. They hold my heart in their hand. Okay okay not that much, but I will be at the show tonight. Also Stanza and DJ Teknology will be in the building. The tickets are $10(get them here) so you should come too!!!!
I refuse to let the media take over my life talking about Tiger Woods when there are way more important things going on. I'm glad he still has his endorsements!! Check out this track by Orlando rapper Wes Fif.
Wes Fif - Tiger Woods
I try not to post mixtapes. Only if certain people send me the link or it just needs to be Realized, Appreciated, and Supported. Here is some Lupe for everyone. My future baby daddy told me that Lupe said he made the mixtape because of that nonsense MTV Hottest MCs List. If this true, why he would give that wack MTV list any play is totally beyond me. Enjoy!

I don't know all the semantics of decades and all that mess but it is a new year! And don't get it twisted, I am excited about the new year because 2009 sucked worse than my cat knocking the trash can over and eating everything in it! This year, whether you made a resolution or not, I am gonna ask you to leave the drama way back wherever you can. Cause 2010 is gonna be huge for Miss Solow Dolow, my readers/supporters, and those who rock with me elsewhere. We are kicking the new year off with my favorite song of 2009!!! Love you all and enjoy your New Years Day!!!!
