I’m sure by now everybody knows about Keri Hilson, Polow Da Don, and Rich Boy’s consistent creative energy right? Well they are keeping that sh*t moving with Rich Boy’s new single “Good Things”
Last week I brought you some behind the scene’s footage. And now I can bring it to you in its entirety.
Check it out below.
Ok, I don’t get it! First it was “I got money in the bank, shawty what you drank”, to now
“Living in the projects”??
Check out the new video from Lil Scappy below.
I can just hear all the little girls screaming into exhaustion as —teeny boppers— B5 have released another song from their upcoming album Don’t Talk, Just Listen.
While the brotherly group has yet to garner worldwide success, hell not even national success, they are popular in their own right with the youngins.
"Hydrolics" -- a drumline enthused song -- is sure to be an instant hit. And adding fan favorite Bow Wow isn’t a bad look either.
Check out the new video from the singing quintet below.

What’s up Everybody,
Can I ask you guys a serious question…SERIOUSLY? Would you rather have a good rap song that’s rich in lyrical content, and no flashy materialism, or the other way around?
I think we can all agree that hip-hop is in the toilet these days. But it seems that every single video that I watch is becoming as generic and uninspiring as the next.
And this one is no different….

T.I.’s new music video has dropped for “You Know What It Is”.
The self proclaimed “King Of The South” claims this will be the “Song Of The Summer”, but what do y'all think?
Check out the new video below. Is it Poppin, or Floppin?

Say what you will about the Shop Boyz but they have officially made the “rock movement” popular in Atlanta.
There song has been burning up the clubs, and it seems that every time I hear a cell phone go off their ring tone chimes in.
And to amp the fans up even more they’ve released their official remix to “Party Like A Rock Star” featuring Lil Wayne, Jim Jones, and Chamillionaire.
Check it out below. Is it Poppin or Floppin?
If you live in Atlanta then hopefully you got a chance to get out and watch the Shop Boyz put it down on stage at Club Primetime out there on Covington Highway.
I unfortunately didn’t get a chance to get make the show. But I aint gonna lie their new song “Party Like A Rockstar” is that fiyah. And it’s my selection for this week’s “Poppin or Floppin” video.
Check it out…

I got that new video of Jeezy’s new rap group USDA for y’all to check out.
It’s a rough cut, which means it’s not the best digital quality but it’s still pretty decent. Of course I have issues with the song, the video and everything else USDA.

It looks like Keisha Cole is trying to get that money. She was the vocal savior that turned Puffy’s “Last Night” into an actual hit. And now it looks like she’s doing the same thing for her reported long time boyfriend “The Snowman”.
Their collaborative effort –“Dreamin” has just been released on video and I’ve selected it for this weeks Poppin or Floppin video of the week. Check it out after the jump.
Continue reading "Poppin Or Floppin Video: Young Jeezy and Keisha Cole Are "Dreamin"!!" »
I got a new song from Chester himself—R.Kelly. This new track just dropped on the Internet Friday and I got it for y’all to check out.
R. Kelly used to be the best in the game but he’s getting progressively worse. Never mind his looming child molestation charges, this song is just whack if you ask me.

Whether you’re a fan of this blog or not you all know I have certain disdain for Mr. Bobby Valentino. And though some people often times classify me as a hater, I’m here to tell you all that’s just not true.
While my feelings towards Mr. Valentino may not be the best, his video for his second single (first official), “Anonymous” is out and I got to admit, it’s kinda hot. I’ve selected it for this weeks Poppin or Floppin video.

Rich Boy has dropped another video from his self titled album. It's not as good as "Throw Some D's" but it still works. Check the video out and tell me if its Poppin or Floppin.
Talk to ya lata,
--SOHH Gyant
What’s good everybody? Before we get into the Poppin or Floppin video, I got to address something.
I think its time to check some of y’all on who the Gyant is. I’ve been holding down SOHH Atlanta for almost four months now and it seems that a lot of you still just don’t get it. One of my favorite songs ever is by Jay-Z and Eminem titled “Renegade”. That pretty much sums who I am and how I represent myself.
I’ve provided you a free download of the song, just in case you haven’t heard it before.
But if I can paraphrase a little bit, here’s the chorus
RENEGADE! Never been afraid to say what's on my mind at, any given time of day Cause I'm a RENEGADE! Never been afraid to talk about anything (ANYTHING) anything (ANYTHING), RENEGADE!
I don’t have any limits as to what I talk about. A lot of y’all muthafucka’s spew bullshit, while I speak the truth. Like it or not, it is what it is.
There wasn’t anything homo about my post on Fat Joe yesterday. What I saw was an overweight "luva" who is in SERIOUS trouble, and who needs serious help. But of course a lot of undacova homo-ethugs decided to turn shit around and not address the "real" issue.
Y’all need to really elevate ya self and absorb different perspectives and opinions.
Now that I’ve said my peace, let’s get back to the post.
I’ve got another Poppin or Floppin video for you this week by none other then Ciara.
I don’t know if this video is going to curve those pesky lesbian rumors but it’s the new one from Riverdale’s own Ciara. The video has her looking very butch and it’s not flattering to her beauty at all.
Continue reading "Time For Another Poppin or Floppin Video! Ciara-"Like A Boy"" »
What’s good everybody?
Well its time for another Poppin or Floppin video. This week’s video selection is none other then Atlanta import—Bow Wow. Bow Wow is still trying to some how save his latest album “The Price of Lame” by releasing another video, which will probably be his last one. The video stars relatively new artist(s) T-pain and Johnta Austin on the hook.

Fat Joe just released his new video for “Make It Rain-Remix” video featuring everybody and their grandmamma.
What was the budget for this shit— $20.00? They got my man Lil Wayne looking like he’s in black face from the minstrel era. Child molester himself, R-Kelly, looks like he’s in front of a green screen. Y’all know I got love for Atl’s T.I, but he also looks crazy as hell in this video. What? They couldn’t afford to get a real safe for the King of da South to stand in front of?
All in all this video (in my opinion) was floppin! Just because throw all the hottest rappers and one child molester on a track doesn’t mean it’s hot.
Do I stand alone in my judgment? Tell me what you think!
Talk to Y'all lata,
--SOHH Gyant
What’s good?
Is it Friday yet? I don’t know about you but I’m fucking tired! From the Battle of The Bands, to some events I attended over the weekend, a brutha is most def ready for some R&R.
My second Poppin or Floppin Video of the week is Crime Mobb.
For those who don’t know, Crime Mob is a rap group consisting of members M.I.G., Cyco Black, Diamond, and siblings Lil Jay and Princess (ex-member Killa C is incarcerated and no longer part of the group). They are best known for their 2004 chart topping single "Knuck If You Buck", and their current single "Rock Yo Hips" from the upcoming album, Hated On Mostly (due Jan 2007). The video for "Rock Yo Hips" depicts a fictional Crime Mob College, set to resemble a historically black college. In preparation for the album they have released the mixtape "Mob Shit" hosted by DJ Scream. In the future Diamond and Princess plan on releasing an album separate from the rest of the group.

What good Family?
Yo, it’s good that y’all could swallow what I had to say about DJ Drama and Cannon without trying to have my balls slung up on a stick and fed to the pit-bull around back.
It’s a new week, and so you know we got another Poppin or Floppin Video.
This week I’ve selected two videos. The first one is from my man B.G.
B.G. has recently inked a deal with Atlantic Records and T.I. has been appointed executive producer of B.G.'s new album which is scheduled for a fall release. After spending time there on and off, B.G. permanently relocated to Detroit in 2005 as a result of Hurricane Katrina. Before this deal was inked, there were rumors of B.G. signing with Young Buck's label, G-Unit South.

My new Poppin or Floppin video for the week is Atlanta’s resident, Sammie. Before y’all come after me with your “Fire Sohh Gyant” picket signs I realize that he isn’t a hip-hop artist. But, he is an Atlanta artist and that’s why I chose him. I actually like the song. I hope that Sammie gets the opportunity to make a bigger impact in music then he has. After an album release, now, two videos and a performer on the Scream Tour, he seems to have gone virtually un-noticed.
Check out the video!

What’s up Family?
I hope you all had a good weekend. I also hope the “DJ Drama” smoke has cleared. I read each and every one of y’all’s comments and the one thing people can't say about Atlanta is that we don’t have passion. I luv it!!
I want to give a special shout out to my homiette, and loyal blog reader Tigiris. She post one of the realest comments over the weekend. “And it goes a little something like this…”
SOHH-GYANT THIS IS FOR YOU!!!! KEEP DOING YOU!!!!
Yo also Gyant the next time you answer the comments here in your blog sweetie don't even address the haters because if you truely read them then you will see that they never show proof of their hate. It is like saying you will beat somebodies ass but never do it!!! You feel me? Honestly you have my support and others here that truely would want to hear a muti-angle opinion about things in the industry and not just some salty one-dimension opinion about an artist that is doing well when they are feeding us garbage, but honestly too if I see something that may have been written by you that I didn't like I wouldn't use ignorance and blast you to get my point across. So please just address us sane people that gives you the feedback that you deserve!! But if the negative feedback you recieve is done in a tasteful fashion then if your choice blast them but honestly you have people that trueeeeely respects what you are doing. I hate to see people complain about something but really will not give a true sane reason why they are mad or disgusted. Let's be better than this------Tigris
Thanks shawtie, I really appreciate the luv you show me. I know their are others who show the Gyant luv too and you're appreciated just as much as Tigris. Hell, haters I luv y'all too. I dont take none of this shit to heart. At the end of the day I just provide a service. My only hope is that everyone can respect everybody!!
Oh and for all who say that I focus on R&B too much and not enough hip-hop. Let me remind you of what Sohh Atlanta is: “The daily pulse of the Atlanta hip-hop scene.”
That’s the beauty, and one of the main reasons why I am in love with Hip-Hop and this magnificent city. It’s transcended all musical divides. You can hear Hip-Hop in virtually every musical genre out there with the exception of Classical, and Country. Monica is Hip-Hop, Lloyd is Hip-Hop, and hell even Britney Spears is Hip-Hop. Whether we like it or not it, Hip-Hop has taken over and influences everything.

Happy Tuesday, family!
We got a new poppin' or floppin video this week. It’s from Yung Joc featuring Marques Houston and Trey Songz. I got to shout out the highly popular Thumbs Up restaurant where this video was shot. If you want some good ass breakfast with the big cup of lemonade or sweet tea, and want to be served by some sexy ass sistas, then you need to stop by Thumbs Up on Edgewood. Tell them Gyant sent you, they love me over there.
573 Edgewood Ave SE
Atlanta, GA 30312

The song is aiight. It doesn’t sound any different then any other slow rap song out there. For Yung to be trying to drop that second album he might want to come a little harder then this.
What’s up Family?
This weeks poppin or floppin video of the week is none other than Lil Boosie feat. Young Jeezy – "Zoom." Lil homie is doing his thing. Check it out.
I hope everybody had a good day and shit. As you know I’m here to bring you what’s hot in Atlanta but keeping it real with y’all — aint shit going down. Everybody’s broke coming out of the holiday so I just surfed the internet to bring y’all some hot shit.
Move over Miss Sophia you’ve officially been replaced. Ms. Peachez has officially become the new favorite Drag Queen of Atlanta. This damn song has been getting mad radio play. I was hesitant about putting this video up for this week's poppin or floppin video of the week but since this is the holiday week and the last video of the year I figured, what the hell!
Don’t look too much into it. Shit, it is what it is! It’s just straight up buffoonery. However, I can see why many think that hip-hop is dead.

I got some quick news on Pastor Troy....
Rapper Pastor Troy was arrested by Atlanta police Friday morning on an alleged probation violation in Fayette County.
My sources confirmed to me that the 29-year-old performer, whose legal name is Micah Levar Troy, was doing a radio interview with Hot 107.9 radio station when a snitch called police to say that he was wanted on the Fayette warrant.
Troy, a College Park native, is best known for his dividing mixture of religious themes and the decidedly secular concerns of hardcore rap culture.
Officers went to the Hot 107.9 studios on Marietta Street and detained Troy until Fayette County deputies arrived shortly before 9 a.m. and took him into custody. A snitch will do it to you every time.
Developing…..(when I know more y'all will know more).
I hope everybody had a good weekend, I know I did. With all the drama of last week I needed some time to relax. I see nobody really paid attention to my new weekly series – Atlanta’s Own – where I put four unsigned artists from Atlanta on this page for everybody to show your love(or hate) for. Y’all was too busy worrying about The Snowman that you completely missed out on some hot tracks from local rappers who are trying to do their thing. So, since you all missed it on Friday I’m running it again today. Take the time to show your local boy’s some love. Oh and by the way, with all the overwhelming male responses I got, I just wanted to shout out the ladies too. Ideally I want this to be a mixture of Atlanta’s male, and female MC’s. So to all my lyrically laced females out there; submit your shit my way so we can see what you got.
----------------------------------------
The time is finally here. Today kicks off the debut of Sohh.com’s “Atlanta’s Own” – A weekly series that will showcase the hottest and most innovative Atlanta artists.
When I decided to put together this weekly showcase, I knew that it would be an explosive and innovative idea. With all of Sohh.com’s readers who log on daily to check out what’s hot in hip-hop nationally, regionally, and locally, it seemed like a natural progression for all of Atlanta’s unsigned talent to get massive exposure from arguably one of the hottest spots oh the planet – Sohh.com’s Atlanta blog.
The biggest movers and shakers in the record business check out Sohh.com on a daily basis. So you never know who’s gonna hear what you got to spit. And you better trust and believe that only the hottest tracks and tightest MCs will get put on. If it’s not hot – you won’t hear it. Period!
With such an overwhelming response, I chose four songs by three artists that I thought were just right to bust this shit out the gate. Check out your Atlanta’s Own artists below. But don’t forget, if you got something hot, send it my way. SohhGyant@Sohh.com

And with "100 years/War Message," he also proves he is never afraid to tackle political views, and teach the youth something outside of everyday conversation. Check him out as he responds to Beyonce's "Irreplaceable" G-LIFE- “REPLACE YA” -

What’s up Family?
You know what time it is. We got another video from one of Atlanta’s most popular rappers, TI. Lil dude is like the new Puffy. Do you remember how Puffy Combs was dropping hits like every month at the height of his career? That’s how I’m looking at TI. Though he had a slow start with his first two albums (compared to his current national success), he is living proof to all of us to keep striving.
Here is his new video:
TI - "Top Back" (Remix). The video is hot and the Grand Hustle crew embraces the southern culture with the big cars, thick women, and our signature playeristic style.
Is it Poppin or Floppin?
What’s poppin fam? OK first things first. I’m assuming that we are all hip-hop heads around this bitch. We all know the albums before T.I.’s Urban Legend don’t count and that’s why I didn’t mention them (though the blog was changed later to appease the whiners). Y’all some touchy muthfuckas and I love that shit. If I got to break shit down like y’all don’t know your hip-hop then I will but, I’m talking to y’all like y’all my peoples.
And with that said, I didn’t think that I would have to give you the history of shit. But it’s a lesson learned. When you assume shit you make an ass out of you right? From this point on I will give you the back history and type all that shit out for everybody aiight? We straight on that now?!?
