Where Are They (PosNeg)

The 90's gave way to an emergence of hiphoppers thirsty for the spotlight, fame and fortune. Posneg was no exception. This group bursted on to the scene with fascinating catchy bassy playful lyrics such as: No Doubt, Deathlist and Riches. Some of you may not be familiar with this underground rap group of the 90's but others may be able to run you through their underground success. With tracks produced by Lord Finesse himself and originating from the same stomping grounds as Fat Joe, Big Pun and Kid Capri. This group was well on their way to success.

Who Is Posneg

Posneg consisted of Waltbaby aka Walter, Solex, Kema aka Americanboi/Meko and Lakenya aka sniper. Waltbaby,Solex, Kema and Sniper grew up in the rough part of the South Bronx, NY, with hopes of becoming not only emcees but also entrepreneurs. Waltbaby, the brains behind the idea, created waltbaby entertainment Inc. and soon began to scout for talent, eventually he came across aspiring artists; Solex,  Kema and Lakenya and together they formed the independent record label of the 90's known as waltbaby entertainment. Posneg performed in some of the most prestigious arenas and opened for acts such as Lord Finesse and even Kathy Lee Gifford. This group embodied evolution and hope for the youth, in fact, one of posneg's very publicized songs was called "this is for the youth"

What happend?

Many of Posneg's fan's were dispappointed when they broke apart and even today, fans and supporters ask where are they now? Posneg's disbandment was a direct result of tragedy, disaggrement & unharmonious growth sprouting. Sadly, Solex encountered an early demise, after being murdered over a phone; Kema chose to study the bible and become a Jehovah's Witness, Lakenya obtained a scholorship to college and graduated with a bachelors degree and Walter continued to try to make the dream a reality, however, without the substance of the group, the dream could not materialize.

Where Are They Now?

Unfortunately, I have not been able to locate Walter, but I am glad to say that I still communicate with Lakenya. She's happily married and is currently looking forward to adding a new member to her growing family. And as for myself, I am unaffiliated with the Jehovah's Witness Organization and am currently representing the LGBT community; supporting and promoting real talent and real dreams.

However, like the other up and coming female emcee's I blogged on, iTIP is totally different. She delivers a vocal projection that stems deep down from the pit of her gut. yes, indeed, this girl is the real deal. When I first heard her remix of 6 foot 7, originally recorded by Lil Wayne, I was stoked. It's the first time in a long time, that I've personally and geniunely fell in love with the way a female spit. (realshit) Me being a former emcee/producer myself, I have a certain respect for artist with raw marketable talent.

Its All About Stud Phamous (Update)

I am happy to announce that their is another up and coming female emcee, whose more than capable of carrying her own lyrically. Like her contemporaries, Dakinkykid, YelzUfly and Kin4life; Stud Phamous is an artist who is also a force to be reckoned with. With her lyrics being simple and yet meaniningful; style edgy and modern, this young emcee has not only the lyrics but the image that makes a star.

About Stud Phamous

Twenty something year old, Stud Phamous Originates from North Las Vegas and has been rhyming and entertaining for years. Ever sense she was a child, she loved and listened to hiphop, some of the artist that has inspired her are: Big Daddy Kane, Rakim & Mc Lyte, just to name a few. Based on this, I've concluded that her "digging in the crates" talent comes from her ole skool inspiration. Stud Phamous is also an artist who embraces uniqueness & evolution, so best believe her style is incomparable. And don't expect to find anyone with the kind of flow that she projects.

Stud Phamous is currently affiliated with Rainbownoise Entertainment Record Label, which is based out of Vancouver Washington/Portland and Oregon. The goal of Rainbownoise Entertainment is to project a positive and current depiction of the LGBTQ Community to the world. This is particularly important, being that we are still looked at as the underdogs of this heterosexual world we live in. On the otherhand, keep in mind that Rainbownoise is always looking for real  LGBTQ talent, esp. studs, doms and bois, so if you feel you got skills, hit up there website http://www.rainbownoiseent.com/

In Conclusion, These kats are doing they're thang, producing quality music that reflects the times we live in but also reminds us of our forefathers of hiphop. It's time for a change y'all, so represent and chck out/download Stud Phamous songs: "Paradise" "Loveline" "All I need" and H.A.M freestyle @ her website http://thecloudchronicles.tumblr.com/

In addition, chck out they're new shit on youtube 1Rainbownoise "who dat" and "Freaky Deaky"

YELZUFLY

24 year old female rap artist YelzUfly, based out of New Orleans, Louisiana, may be one of the hottest female artist to grace the streets of New Orleans. She is known for her steady flow pattern, classic but edgy delivery and stylish image, after checking out her website, I came to the conclusion, that the girl is going places. Not only is she a true and original hiphopper but with attractive qualities such as; humility, elegance and edge, I was beyond impressed and motivated to do a blog on her.

I learned about Yelzufly via twitter, after she tweeted her mixtape, I immediately went to her website because I'm always interested in what new rap artist have to say; especially skillful artist repping the LGBT Community. I then listened to a few tracks and was beyond astounded, so I showed my support. One of the quotes I appreciate by YelzUfly taken from her profile on her website is  "Everybody want to rap just to rap, I just got things on my mind and it just happen to rhyme."

Soon, this lyrical genius may be tailgating the success of powerful hiphopper Lil wayne whose also based out of New Orleans..Well lets hope so, the more we support and back talented and gifted artist such asYelzUfly, the sooner we'll have a rap artist who officially and openly represents the LGBT Community...Check for a follow up to this article in the near future, until then Y'all Check out your gurrrrl'z website http://www.datpiff.com/profile/YELZ_U_FLY, her shit is hot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A few tracks I fell in love with are "the flight", "muggin" &"vans and snapback", just to name a few..

Toxic Love, When Enough is Enough

“We stayed together for the kids, I didn’t want my kids to grow up in a single parent home.”  “I didn’t feel like starting a new relationship..’ was comfortable.”  “I didn’t wanna hurt her feelings so I stayed in my relationship.” “He provides for me and my kids and I can’t provide for myself, that’s why I stayed.”
Obviously, there are so many reasons why people stay in toxic relationships. whether it be sheer complacency or financial woes. But should you stay with someone for any of the reasons mentioned above? The answer, absolutely not. Being in a toxic relationship is no better than tieing a brick to your neck and walking around with it everywhere you go. In fact, one source suggests that people with negative aspects in their relationships had a 34% increase in the risk of heart problems (even after taking weight, social support and other factors into consideration) http://longevity.about.com/od/lifelongrelationships/a/relationships_b.htm
So having said that, How do you know if you’re in a toxic relationship and if so, how do you get out
Toxic relationship signs
A toxic relationship should not be mistaken for a relationship that just simply need rekindling, nurturing and excitement. A toxic relationship much different from a dead relationship is one that offers  no possibility of hope whatsoever.
Ex. If  when your partner calls you, text you or the very sight of him/her sickens you, it has reached a toxic level. Constant bickering, nagging and complaining where no solution or aggreement is ever met is another sign.  A toxic relationship doesn’t necessarily entail domestic violence but when a relationship has reached a toxic point of breaking up/making up and bitterness, it can lead to domestic violence. however, this article is not about domestic violence and if you are in a domestic violence relationship, I encourage you to get out of it and seek help. I also have an article entitled “domestic violence in the LGBT Community”
How to Let Go
If you’ve been in a relationship for sometime that isn’t good for you, chances are, friends/family have expressed that. You may want to get out of it but realize its a lot harder than what you’ve imagined. So, what to do? My suggestion, is to have a long talk with your partner, reason without pointing the finger. Remind him/her that you both may have added to the problems in the relationship. Don’t bring up the past because it will just lead to an argument. You both already know what went down over the years. After a face-to-face conversation (no text messages, voice messages, email, certafied mail, 3rd party messenger; PEOPLE THATS TACKY) preferably over lunch, not dinner because it sets a certain mood, let him/her know you’ve moved on. They may not be excited about the idea, but it would be cowardly and senseless to stay in a relationship that makes you feel as if you had a brick tied to your neck. After you’ve broken up clean house

STUD TO FEM/FEM TO STUD TRANSITION

For many of us, before we became studs we were fems and vice versa...Please send in your before and after pictures along with a short experience of how you transitioned...


My before and after transition pictures

My Experience

My transition began a few years ago...prior to identifying as a stud...I considered myself a fem...mainly because of not wanting to be judged by my sexuality...I did the heels..the tight jeans..big earrings and all..but wasn't being true to myself...realizing I wasn't exactly a fem I started to identify myself as an ag fem...' played that role for a while and quickly came to the conclusion that i wasn't that (ag/fem) either...so I began to learn about the stud subculture and found that everything in my personality was that of a stud...no wonder my relationships in the pass weren't working..so slowly, I began stripping away my fem ensemble and started to adorn myself with my stud armor and I can honestly say I am a proud soilder today.

The purpose of this blog is not to perpetuate the idea of labeling...LABELS ARE DATED!!! however, the significance of this blog is to encourage all to be themselves and own it..
