Our second guest:

Ms. Ressie…

Ressie stepped into the music game with a blind eye, and out of the shadows arose a  lyrical phenomenon.  Her boastful attitude, polish with confidence and style, immediately  gain her recognition on the east coast as the “Boss Diva Princess“.  After dropping her hit single  “Do Da Big Girl” listeners became extremely inquisitive about who Ressie is? A Plus-sized beauty standing at five foot and six inches, she is poised, self-assured and confident about the skin she‘s in. Never indecisive as she explains why she is known as the ‘The Boss Diva Princess‘. “That’s because I know exactly what I want and need, and at no means do I settle for anything less. Many people are thinking; who is this person just coming into the Rap music industry and “blowing up?” It seems as if she came out of nowhere and she has drawn mega attention.

Ressie, born Teresa Dixon, began to utilize her vocals by singing in talent shows at the age of eleven years old with friends.  Although she pursued a career as a professional hair stylist and educator, being on center stage has always been her true passion. At the age of 19 she began to further her performance skills by  enrolling in several dance classes, and began to devote much of her time performing contemporary dances in local talent shows. Four the next three years she found her self being requested to perform praise and worship dances, which is were she developed her technical dance skills.

In 2005, she formed E.C.R. Entertainment and began to promote local parties and concerts. At which time she was approached by a music produced. After observing her talent of simply hosting an event, that he was attending, he insisted that she make a visit to the studio.

“Being a successful salon owner is great and I‘m good at what I do, but my heart has always been about making music,”comment Ressie. She then revamped and began focusing on a music career. A trip to the studio in Augusta, GA she meet with produced Trilla of S.A.B. Productions and recorded her first single “Do Da Big Girl”. This single expresses who Ressie is and being that voice for all full figured women across the world to say “Hey it’s Ok to be a voluptuous size woman and be Sexy. After recording her second single she was branded with the title “Boss Diva Princess”Currently Ressie is the spokesperson for East Coast Full Figured Women and  will be launching a network campaign with Hamilton Entertainment that will educate all the beautiful full figured women for clothing, conferences, charities and most of all Empowerment.

Ressie’s motto is: “Being happy doesn’t mean that everything is perfect. It means that you’ve decided to look beyond the imperfections of your life and recognize  and appreciate what we do have.”

Well ya’ll….another legend. Teddy Pendergrass passed away on yesterday at the age of 59 from complications in relation to Colon Cancer surgery. He had been battling in recovery for the past 8 months.

Pendergrass, who was paralyzed from the waist down in a car accident in 1982, underwent surgery for colon cancer eight months ago and had a “difficult recovery,” according to his son, Teddy Jr.

He will be missed!

Talk with Mr. Coley!

Mr. Coley was born in Washington, DC but moved to Durham, NC at a young age.  Mr. Coley received his inspiration and talent from his mother, a God fearing woman who believed in praying and going to church – so began THE SOUL AND THE MUSIC!!! Singing around the house and playing drums in the church was his first connection, and then he began singing in various choirs. In high school, Mr. Coley was active in the gospel choir, and PERFORMED in stage plays like “DREAM GIRLS,” where he played Curtis Taylor Jr. Among other talents, Mr. Coley marched in the band and played SNARE on Hillside High School’s drumline, “Blue Steel,” making a cameo in the movie “THE INK WELL” starring Larenz Tate. Since then, Mr. Coley has performed in various night clubs all over North Carolina, but his “Big Break” came in 2006 when he performed on the nationally syndicated “Tom Joyner Morning Show,” live on FOXY 107/104 FM in Raleigh, NC. In 2007, Mr. Coley went on to perform at “THE WORLD FAMOUS APOLLO THEATER” in New York. He first performed his original song entitled “YO MRS.” at AMATEUR NIGHT, a non-televised show, securing his spot on the nationally televised show, “SHOWTIME @ THE APOLLO.” His rendition of “LATELY” (by Stevie Wonder, as performed by KC and Jo Jo) allowed him to advance in the competition as the returning winner for the next show – an “Apollo Legend” in the making! Mr. Coley has sung at UNIVERSAL RECORD LABEL and has written lyrics and recorded at “RUFF RYDERS RECORD LABEL”  as well, Mr Coley has also worked with MAJOR RAP LEGEND ”BIG DADDY KANE”, and “9TH WONDER”, PRODUCER from the rap group, ”LITTLE BROTHER”, since then Mr Coley has performed at the “CHARLOTTE MUSIC AWARDS” in Durham and Charlotte, NC, but his latest accomplishment was singing the “NATIONAL ANTHEM” at the 2008 MEAC basketball tournament held in Raleigh, NC at the RBC CENTER and the 2009 CIAA tournament in Charlotte NC ! So its safe to say that Mr. Coley has achieved “GREATNESS” in so many ways, Mr Coley has started his own publishing company called “TIMELESS SOUL” “Where Good Music Transends Generations”. This Singer, Songwriter, Producer” is a quadruple threat! Unlike any other artist, Mr. Coley has produced, written and arranged his own album entitled “FOREVER-MUSIC,” which makes him “THE MASTER MIND BEHIND THE MUSIC.” It’s been said, that even being unsigned, Mr. Coley is a “FRANCHISE” all by himself….”THE FUTURE OF REAL MUSIC.”

This R&B and Inspirational Singer is what embodies a “TIMELESS SOUL.”

DJ Magnum

Tonight we will be talking about AIDS AWARENESS! It’s a tough subject for some, but it must be discussed. Have you been tested? Share your story or poetry about that experience. Lost a family member to aids? Let us know and share with our audience, we must spread the word to stop this deadly disease from running ramped in our communities. As for the rest of the show, get ready to get your bounce on tonight! These hits created by DJ Magnum will have you dancing in your seat!  I will be spinning a few tracks by him tonight and asking you what do you think? The call in number is (347) 855-8245! Just drop in and say hello and share. Say wassup to DJ Magnum. Dj Magnum born on October 24th 1981 in Cashville Tennessee. Since the age of twelve I’ve had a passion for music. Having grown up in the projects in Tennessee and in Florida, I developed an interest in Hip-Hop and Rap music. I started writting music in the fifth grade and formed my first rap group along with William Dunkley and Chris Hudson. We were more interested in the fame and attention more than anything else. By the end of the school year the group broke up, because we all ended up going to different schools the following school year. It wasn’t untill 2006 when i began writing music again, and I released my first album in 2007 called “The Awakening”. The album was horrible, nobody would want to hear the negative lyrics and the bad production of the album. The album was never distributed and I hope nobody will ever hear it.
In October of 2007 I along with Quinsis and G-G formed a group called Teck Squad Generalz. We started recording our first mix-tape “Street Prodigy” in the attic of our house. This was a demo cd with only eight songs that were good songs but the production wasn’t by far the best. We were introduced to Blackface Ent. a local record label in Daytona Beach shortly after we finished Street Prodigy. The label loved our style and we recieved a three year contract to record with them. We started right away working on our promo cd, which was a four track cd that was the best songs that I have ever recorded. We began to distribute thousands of copies in the Daytona Beach area, and began to book shows at local civic centers as well as local nite clubs.

Our shows were aired on BET as well was local radio stations. Everything was going great, the fans loved our music and our swagg. But like always when your in a group there are issues and sometimes you work them out, but sometimes you dont.
By the begining of 2009 our issues became to much and the group broke up. There was alot of disagreement between the group as well as our label. As of today I’m currently working on my first solo album, which i plan to release in march 2010. This will certainly be a great album which I will be featured by know artist like Jon Young, Treal, and Haitian Fresh.

Ok…I went to see Precious yesterday and I tell ya…I was not ready ya’ll. I went alone Phatman and Phatbaby were at home and ~Phat was alone…(Yessuh!!) I sat there with my lil snack pack (kiddie popcorn, drink and my fruit snacks…lol) I never finished it…my mouth was hung open from Act 1 Scene 1…Mo’Nique…AKA: Mary was rough. She played that character.

I could not believe what I was seeing and hearing. The movie just sucked me in and sucked the life outta  me. I was exausted after this film. I held my breath until I got to the car and started driving down the road. As I said on my fan page, I was shocked that there were not alot of African-Americans in the theater. There were however plenty of caucasian people. Just for a minute I was embarrassed at first but I had to realize the types of issues displayed in this movie were in no way discriminatory.  Precious was real and the characters displayed in this film are real. THEY DO EXIST in all ethnic backgrounds and in all nationalities. I was so moved by the book when I read it years ago…I wished it was a movie then. But to see the life in these characters is amazing. It was so realistic. I saw the interview Mo’Nique did on the Oprah show about her character. She stated that she was able to play that character so well because she was a victim of incest.  Her brother molested her and she stated that it was easy for her to play Mary, because she had to deal with “Mary” on a day to day basis. It was parts of the movie where I actually felt sick it was so believable. Precious played by Gabourney “Gabby” Sibide is a character that you can’t help but want her to succeed just so that she can get away from her viciously abusive mother Mary. She struggles in school to learn and you can’t help but to sympathize with her.  I look at girls  her age and I  know a few that “look” like Precious.

Teased everyday in school. Picked apart by adults that see her being lazy and fat.  We walk around pretending like we don’t know who Precious is, but I”m quite sure that you know her. It may even be you. Little girls walking around here today thinking their grown and dressing way too mature for their age. How many times have you wanted to say something to that child or even know who her parents were so that you can see “where she came from?”  Don’t forget that some men are victims also. (ie. Tyler Perry)

It’s amazing that these celebrities are  not ashamed with coming out with this information, but those of us in or own communities live in our own shadows of darkness. I’m not saying for you to run out screaming to the world that this happened to you. (If you can and want too by all means…) But just by sharing with your family and your children, you never know how this may prevent the cycle from continuing in your own family.  If you or someone you know is a victim of incest please VISIT: RAINN: RAPE, ABUSE, AND INCEST NATIONAL NETWORK.WWW.RAINN.ORG Also TELL SOMEONE!

Don’t be afraid to think of how someone may feel about you. Tell your parents, sister, cousin, brother, OR SOMEBODY! GET HELP! I myself was a victim of sexual abuse. I told some of my family members and I received some not so pleasant comments from some and from others that were in my corner and helped me to file a police report and go from there. There are people that are here to help you. Start teaching your child early about improper touching and let them know that it is wrong and to tell someone. For those of you that  may have the problem. Seek help! There is help for you too! The first step is opening your mouth and telling someone.  Don’t be Mary and wait until it’s too late.
