MySpot

Name: Rocky aka Lovely
Reppin': The Bronx, New York
Favortie Spot: Mobay on 125th Street. Though I live in Tampa, Florida now, I am home in New York City at least once a month. (I'm from the Bronx!!! Lol.) One of my favorite spots to hang with my girls is Mobay on 125th street in Harlem. The drinks are excellent, the live performances make for a perfect lounge feel, and the food is simple, yet exquisite. It’s the perfect after work spot to chill. It’s the perfect place for a single chick like me to unwind and get her swerve on.

Reppin: Rochester, NY & DC
Favorite Spot: I currently live in the DC, MD & VA area, but I make the trip to 150 West 28th NYC to SoundClash Recordings to bang out classics. Inspired by the hustle and constant movement of the City I get that extra charge in the booth. Between sessions we hit up the Whole Foods or the deli around the corner.

Favorite Spot: to chill is downtown, especially in the summertime. Binghamton is a small city, but downtown whether you skating in the alleys and sidewalks or ciphering wherever, it's a chill spot. They got the chinese joint cats go to after work or school, the Hilal restaurant where they got the Soulfood special on Saturdays. That's my spot

Reppin: Syracuse (cusetown), New York
Favorite spot: My favorite spot is Jerk Hut! it's a real Genuine Jamacian spot, Good food, the owners a cool individual, they treat you kindly always professional, it's in the hood so it's a quick pull over, hop out, and order something to eat guaranteed to get your belly full. My favorite is the spicy beef pattie wrapped in cocoa bread, the bread is always soft and hot, not stail and dry like some of these other places I've been to. I also like to head to Cmb Sportswear on North Salina and Kev's World of music, they always have the officail mixtapes and current blends from some of your hottest DJs out, by the way don't forget to check me out on www.myspace.com/halsboss and check out some of my music as well. God bless. Good lookin out Sohh!! 1

Name: Emil Pinnock (actor)
Reppin: Bi-coastal, Harlem & LA
Favorite Spot: Film sets, such as "Gridiron Gang," the most recent film that I appeared in. I've had relatively big roles in films such as "Beloved" with Oprah Winfrey (I was her son) and "Sixth Man" with Kadeem Hardison and Marlon Wayans, but the set of the "Gridiron Gang" was like no other, because I'm a huge hip-hop fan and got to kick it with Xzibit.

Favorite Spot: Daddy's House (Puff's studio). A lot of classic records have been made there, so it's the one place that truly motivates me and my production partner (Sean C.) to create hits -- as we've done recently for Diddy, Fat Joe, Remy Ma, Ghostface, etc. (all at Daddy's House).

Favorite Spot: Adolescent Employment & Education Program
Reppin: Brooklyn, NY

When we’re not in the lab, we’re chilling in the hood! We spend a lot of time working with adolescents in East New York, Brooklyn. It’s a GED/vocation center for 16 to 21 year olds called the Adolescent Employment & Education Program (AEEP). If we ain’t running our music program there, we’re tutoring, mentoring, or just kicking it with the youth! Everybody – come thru!

Favorite Spot: Brown Suga Night Club
Reppin: Brooklyn, NY

I love Brown Suga cause it's always something poppin' off. Like when they did the Brown Suga Idol, it was a lot of fun b/c I was a judge. Or when Queen Bee did the "Lighters Up" video in the club. Anytime you step into those doors, you never know what you're gonna get, but you can be sure you'll have a nice time.
