It was seriously “One Hellava Night” at Door 44 in Atlanta, GA for Nate Walka’s Official Listening Session for his new album. Nate arrived at Door 44 on time (imagine that). Walka is humble, professional, prompt and a certified Beast at what he does!!!

Nate Walka hit the stage to perform some songs off his upcoming album. Yes, he was in a very sharing mood. And the crowd loved every minute of it. Nate’s mom even hit the stage to celebrate with her son. It was great!

Some of Walka’s celebrity friends came out to celebrate with him: Drumma Boy, DJ Drama, DJ Trauma, R.L., Gregg Street, Shawty Lo, Baby Yu, Sean Garrett, and singer/songwriter Butta B’Rocka. It was the gathering of the year… SERIOUSLY!!!

Nate Walka is a Grammy Winning songwriter, producer and vocalist. He gained notoriety as the writer of “Blame it on the Alcohol” (Jamie Foxx) and “Say Aah” (Trey Songz)… Keep your eye on Nate Walka; he will be around for Eons… Even after life…

On Monday, August 9, 2010, the private premiere of Lottery Ticket the Movie came to Atlanta. Bow Wow emerged from his black suburban with his crew all with “I Did Not Win the Lottery” T-Shirts. It was like a Lottery Ticket movement… The Red Carpet event was nice and one of the most organized that I’ve seen. The main characters: Bow Wow, Naturi Naughton, and Brandon T. Jackson were all in attendance.

Lottery Ticket was a really good movie. Bow Wow was very believable and extremely funny. Of course, Brandon T. Jackson was funny, but he was also serious. Naturi always does a great job. Ice Cube was great as the ex-boxer that the neighborhood thought was crazy because he hadn’t been out of the house in 2 decades. Ok, you have to go see the movie on August 20th to see the rest.

Check out some of the pics:

Thank you to Dena Horner at Tha Web. You are the bestest!!!

This past weekend (Saturday, August 7, 2010), Boris Kodjoe, David Banner and Kenya Moore hosted Atlanta’s Red Carpet Premiere of the Movie “The Confidant”. The VIP Cocktail Reception and Private Screening was held at Woodruff Arts Center. The suspense thriller was distributed by Kenya Moore’s “Moore Vision Media”. Yes, she is more than just a stunning beauty…

The Confidant was written in directed by Alton Glass, and boasts an all star cast: Richard Roundtree (Shaft), Bai Ling (Star Wars), Billy Zane (Titanic), Boris Kodjoe, David Banner and Kenya Moore. The film has received rave reviews and had a special showing at the ABFF in Miami this year. It will go straight to DVD. So, look out for it.

The film is about a pro football player, Nigel Patterson (Kodjoe) who accidentally kills a card shark gangster (Zane) after being caught cheating in a poker game. He then influences his best friend Jackson (Banner) to take the fall for him. After Jackson serves 11 years in prison for his friend whom never wrote or even visited, he seeks revenge on his former best friend.

Let me tell you, David Banner is an ACTOR. He was great in the film and very suspenseful. NO, you won’t see David Banner; you will definitely see and feel Jackson… The entire crew was good and the movie was great.

THE CONFIDANT on DVD soon.

Thanks Kenya for showing people, that you don’t wait. You Work!!!
