The daily pulse of the Atlanta hip-hop scene
SOHH Gyant Presents: Atlanta's Own Talent Showcase!
Posted on August 27, 2007 1:30 PM
Happy Monday everyone! Today kicks off “SOHH Atlanta’s Own,†the weekly talent showcase featuring today’s hottest unsigned artists.
The response was overwhelming and I am happy to see so many talented people. I have decided to expand the genres slightly to reflect a more dynamic audience. In this weekly showcase I have decided to allow hip-hop, R&B and Neo Soul. There are a lot of gifted people out there and I am glad to give them their moment to shine.
So without further ado let’s get into it....
Many male R&B artists fail to find the middle ground necessary to appeal to the masses. Romie Walker is that exception that comes along every now and then. In his upcoming release titled The Blunt Truth, Romie delivers grown up lyrics penned to walk you through his life, through his eyes, in his world. The guys will feel him, because his frustrations on his records "Hush" and "What the Hell Is Love" mirrors some of their own. The ladies will love him on his unconventional ballad "Shoes On," which is an ode to compromising in the name of love (making). His hit single "Home Movie" is very sexy and asks the question that most men have asked their significant others, and those who couldn’t get up the nerve will now have the option to just press play. Finally, on his hit record "Hurt Somebody," you see a man not afraid to show his vulnerable side. Conceptually sound, creative, well thought out tales of love, frustrations and life round out his upcoming project.
The generation gap that exists in music will close considerably with Romie Walker on deck. The youth will recognize and respect his swagger, while mature music lovers will turn him on and turn back the hands of time as they remember how Marvin, Al, Stevie and Sam Cook sang from their heart and soul. The industry will embrace him, because he is undeniably a breath of fresh air. When asked what he’s bringing to the game he replies, “I just want people to remember me for my songs and the way they felt the first time they heard them.â€

MiNus A Few -- This eclectic band of emcees from Georgia emerged from complete obscurity to take their local hip-hop community by surprise. These up and coming wordsmiths created a buzz, bringing an independent brand of what they refer to as "Progressive Hip-Hop Music," to the forefront. Performing in talent showcases, competing in battles, and making radio appearances helped booster an already growing group of supporters. Originally breaking in with the hip-hop collective known as Forbidden Dialect, members Amorphouz and Open each stood out as very animated emcees with incredible wit, gaining recognition on the strength of their clever style of lyricism.
Amorphouz is an intelligent writer with an unmatched talent for weaving words and phrases together. He also is an accomplished songwriter and producer, having written tracks for some talented artist in various genres of music. When asked about how he sees MiNus A Few's place in the industry, Amorphouz swiftly responds with a cocky yet humbling, "I believe we're a
breath of fresh air for anyone who truly loves music."

Hailing straight out of Roswell, Ga, Young Kato AKA K. Sinatra is one of newest rappers to emerge from the North Metro Atlanta underground rap scene. Young Kato was born in 1986 and raised in the streets of the North Metro Atlanta area and while many of today’s rap artists create a false thug, gangster image of themselves, Young Kato is one of the few new rap artists that truly lived what he rhymes about.
Young Kato, along with Zoe Pesci and other N.A.M. affiliates, offer some of the most honest and real depictions of hood life since OG’s like Scarface, 2pac, 8 Ball & MJG and Ice Cube dominated the rap game. Now, with two hot new singles, “85/75 400 North†and “Addicted to the Streets,†hitting Atlanta clubs and streets, the influence of Young Kato and N.A.M. continues to grow. The next Alcatraz Camp/ N.A.M. mixtape called, “85/75/400 North: The Mixtape†is set to drop in October and will feature these two singles as well as new music from Young Kato, Zoe Pesci, and other Northside rappers

An innovative entertainer, singer/songwriter that goes by the name "Curly Lox" C.LOX for short. Bringing to the table retro-classic old school R&B, laced with a hint of Caribbean flavor and topped with a twist of Hip Hop vibe. All of which has played a part in forming me as a man and an artist.
As a songwriter, I've always had an ear for infectious beautiful melodies that stick in your head for days after you hear it and that is how i tackle a song writing project. Melody over lyrics or vice versa has never been issue although it is a marriage that should not be taken likely. My music is my personal diary of literature and poetry told through powerful melodies that anyone can relate to therefore transcending race, age, gender, or creed

WHY DO ALL THESE ATL NIGGAS LOOK LIKE UNDERCOVER HOMO'S, INCLUDING GAYANT OHH, MY BAD I MEAN GYANT? WHAT IS WRONG WITH YA'LL DUDES MANG, ALL THEM THICKA ASS BEAUTIFUL FEMALES IN THE A, AND YA'LL NIGGAS IS PACKIN' FUDGE........ MAYBE THAT'S WHY THE AIDS RATE IS SO HIGH..... DUDE, MANN THE FUCK UP, AND STOP LOOKIN SO FEMININE.

GYANT U KNO THAS U IN THE WHITE HOODY
O YEA FUCK THE SOUTH
The first song was alright, but nothing more. the next song was d4L lyricism. Hey, the talent is sub-par the last guy sounds like he is covering a gloria estefan song. The last guy is a horrible singer. That last song sounds like 1980's latin music or some such.
'Got that Feeling' was o.k. but seemed to just drag on and got real boring like a little over half the way through.
Most of this shit was weak GayTL shit and most of the niggaz look gay as hell. The only track I was feeling was that Young Kato track. If you Atlanta niggaz would make more gutter shit like that "85/75 400" song instead of finger snapping all the time, the ATL music scene would improve. The "Got that Feeling" track was alright.
So, I found out last week my girlfriend had cancer. She started smoking when she was 12 (she would be 20 now). The doctor said she only had about 3 months to live. She cried for a few days, and I didn't know how to handle the situation, so I stopped answering her calls. I know its a horrible thing to do to someone, but I really couldn't deal with the emotions.
I found out today that she took her own life, with sleeping pills. They tried to pump her stomach but it was too late.
I went to the wake and it was very depressing and difficult to be around her family, her mom blames me for her death. I went by my parents' house to have some coffee on my way back to my apartment and to hopefully get some advice on what to do. My mom told me that I was moving with my aunt and uncle in Bel-Air.
I whistled for a cab and when it came near the license plate said "Fresh" and had a dice in the mirror. If anything I could say that this cab was rare, but I thought naw forget it, yo home to Bel-Air. I pulled up to a house about seven or eight and I yelled to the cabby "Yo, holmes smell you later." Looked at my kingdom, I was finally there, to sit on my throne as the prince of Bel-Air .
