VH1 Hip Hop Honors - Did they forget something?

During the Hip Hop Honors show last night on VH1, Rich Homie Quan forgets the words to the classic Notorious Big Verse in “Get Money”. It seemed like Lil Kim was thrown off as well. What do you think of her performance? Did she forget some words herself? Does she still have it or did she lose her touch? We would love to hear your comments below!

Dockko born Donnell Tucker comes from a long line of hard workers and thus he is the product of hard work. He works hard on his craft and is self-taught to play the piano, drums, and bass guitar. Dockko produces his own beats and handles his own engineering. Dockko grew up rapping and his family is supportive of his career. Dockko was raised by his grandparents who taught him about the importance of morals and ethics to have common sense which has brought him a long way in life. Dockko started making music at the age of ten as he started to play music on glass cups filled with various levels of water which made different unique sounds. Those various sounds stuck with Dockko as years later he became a producer to turn those sounds into music as his dream and vision come to life with his talents. Adding his voice to his music productions took things to the next level as Dockko realized his rapping ability and he immediately began recording vocals to more and more of his productions to receive great positive feedback. This lead to Dockko's motto "Hear my vision."

Dockko began networking and came into contact with the founder/owner of Zobe, Alonzo Black, who saw the potential in this talented individual and who signed Dockko to an Exclusive deal with independent-major label Zobe Records. Dockko immediately began enhancing his artist development with Zobe and has been increasing his exposure, promotions, marketing, booking, fan base, and his image. Currently Dockko is working towards becoming successful music artist, producer, performer, and writer in the industry while continuing to learn as much as he can about his craft. Dockko is currently promoting his new single "One Night" and he is building up to the release of his debut album "#TheRealDockko". Dockko is in the studio working on a few more singles, an EP, and a second full length LP album that will be released under Zobe Records along with a few music videos so look out for this outstanding artist. Dockko has a nice buzz within the industry, he has a lot of eyes on him, and he is ready to take his music career to the new heights!

About Tejai Moore

Tony Edmond Jr., the singer-songwriter professionally known as Tejai Moore, has penned one of the newest singles of one of London, UK's rising stars, Curtis Moore. The single,"Lipstick" (featuring Scorcher), impacted on major radio stations and TV networks in Europe as well as USA and other countries. The record had reached #4 on the UK Billboard charts (Urban Top 30 category). To begin 2015, Tejai Moore had revealed that he is co-writer on new single of Cash Money Records/Rich Gang RnB artist, Jacquees, entitled "One In A Million", due to Jacquees' release of his highly anticipated project, QueMix2. Tejai Moore has also had the opportunities to write music for artists such as Fifth Harmony, Taylor Swift, Rough Copy, Ronja Hilbig (of the European Pop group Queensberry), and more. At this point, Tejai Moore is becoming a prolific songwriter in the industry all while continuing to focus on his career as an artist as well. Before opportunities like these became more than a dream, Tony Edmond Jr. was born on July 20, 1986 in Miami, Florida, grew up all over the world from overseas back to the United States, and due to being a “military brat” (mother and father served many years in the U.S. Army), went to elementary, graduated high school, and began strong musical aspirations in Germany. Due to in-taking and being exposed to several different cultures daily, Tejai’s music and appeal has no choice but to display unique personality with one’s listen.

Tejai Moore was introduced to the music industry first as “Lil T” in a frostbitten 2002 winter of Germany. Fast forward to early 2007 in Munich, Germany, Tejai and musical partner, at the time, BamaBoy (of their group YK), had the opportunity to share the stage with former group members of B2k and BadBoy Records Recording artist Loon along with other accomplishments. Tejai has since then performed/opened along-side Jagged Edge, B.o.B, Machine Gun Kelly, Swazy Baby, Sean Kingston, Trina, Young Dro, Travis Porter, Roscoe Dash, DJ Unk, J-Dash, Verse Simmonds, GS Boyz, & More.

Once relocated back to America to pursue musical career In 2007, Tejai had the opportunities to work on records with major artists like Jagged Edge as well as major producers like KE on the Track, which created an authentic Tejai Moore (then known as T. Plezya) sound and image. At the end of 2007 he was signed under the GS Boyz, most known for their songs "Stanky Legg" & "Booty Dew", who were at the time signed to Yung Joc's Swagg Team label imprint {under Bad Boy Records).  The GS Boyz group soon went their separate ways which also severed Tejai Moore’s contract before he received his "shot" at televised success.

Reflecting on the year 2015 going into 2016 and the rapid change of the world's economies, Tejai Moore is destined to bring an equal change to R&B and Pop music in general. Focusing simultaneously on progressing as a major songwriter in the music industry as well as major artist, Tejai has his hands full with juggling the two but is working hard to make his mark every day of his life. Tejai Moore through networking, came into contact with a Zobe Records A&R who saw the potential in this artist and decided to introduce him to the owner of Zobe who signed Tejai Moore to a deal with independent-major label Zobe Records. Tejai Moore immediately began enhancing his artist development with Zobe and has been increasing his exposure, promotions, marketing, booking, fan base, and his image. Currently Tejai Moore is working towards becoming successful music artists, performer, and writer in the industry while continuing to learn as much as he can about his craft. Tejai Moore is currently promoting his previously released music and preparing to distribute world-wide a new single, producing his new EP, and developing his new album that will be released under Zobe Records along with a few music videos so look out for this outstanding artist who will be featured in Zobe Magazine and on Zobe TV Network as well. Tejai Moore is a seasoned writer and music artist who has a nice buzz within the industry with a lot of eyes on him, and he is ready to take his music career to the new heights with Zobe Records in his corner!

Shy Glizzy Responds To Chain Being Snatched (Audio Track)

A week ago, Shy Glizzy tried tweeting about his chain being snatched but now he’s addressing the situation in a new song, “Cut It (Remix).”

The Washington D.C. rapper was scrutinized after video footage of Memphis rapper Big Mota and his crew showing off Shy Glizzy’s chain flooded social media. Shy Glizzy attempted to set the record straight on Twitter but then chose to talk about it in a song to really express himself.

It is a 4-minute song that begins with a piece of an interview with Big Mota in which he talks about wanting to work with the “Awesome" rapper. Then you hear a piece of the video that was posted by the chain snatchers.

In this song, Shy Glizzy explains that he was two deep when the incident occurred and describes how Big Mota and his camp are a bunch of haters and will get whats coming to them. He also includes a message for those who have something to say about him online.

Shy Glizzy even takes shots at DJ Akademiks, who had something to say about the incident on social media. Shy Glizzy explains that his chain fell off his neck and when it hit the ground "broke boys had a f*cking scrimmage."

The Memphis rapper Big Mota posted a now-deleted clip on Instagram explaining why he took Shy Glizzy's chain. Big Mota stated that Shy Glizzy declined to collaborate on a song and that he wanted $50,000 for the chain to be returned.

Check out the audio below... listen to this track and tell us what you think...

MUSIC ARTIST AKON BRINGS ELECTRICITY TO 600 MILLION PEOPLE IN AFRICA

Many media outlets are focused on feeding their readers with nonsense like celebrity gossip like who is dating who and who was born a man and now decides to become a woman while we tend to focus more on things that actually matter! One important topic would be that of music superstar Akonwho is a Senegalese-American singer. He has put himself in the position to change and make a major impact on the continent of Africa.

“Akon Lighting Africa” is a powerful new initiative that Akon has just launched. This goal of this initiative is to bring electricity to 600 million people in Africa to be accomplished through his Solar Academy.

Akon's Solar Academy supports African engineers and green energy entrepreneurs, cultivating resources needed to produce sustainable solar power enterprises that work. The academy facilitates experts who will bring training and equipment instruction to ambitious African engineers.

There is nothing more abundant on the continent of Africa than “sun” which could be the big problem solver. Rural Africa has been catching on to the new technology and is in great need of it. Akon’s Solar Academy looks to harness that power through microgrids and solar supported electricity systems to bring light to a region that the world has largely forgotten.

Thione Niang from the Akon Lighting Africa organization stated, “We expect the Africans who graduate from this center to devise new, innovative, technical solutions.” She continued by stating that, “We have the sun and innovative technologies to bring electricity to homes and communities. We now need to consolidate African expertise.”
