Beyonce Frenzy

This is super inspiration....ugh Im jealous of her stomach..maybe 09 lol




Them Two ..Remember this black hair color?? Eva does but I dont !!

Coming In April ...Beyonce tries again

and she just might make it...Im kinda thirst for this right now

His Motto is Dough Ova Everything: Fly Ly

How did you settle/choose the name FLY LY?

Well my name is Lydell and growing up i always hung around dudes that were older than me, so they always called me "Young Ly", I started getting a lil money and used that to buy the things I seen The stars on TV wear, and I'd be out running the streets in thousand dollar outfits, make a long story short people in the Neighborhood would joke around and call Me "FLY YOUNG LY" I got a lil Older, started making music and dropped the "young" because there were so many rappers with that in the begining of thyre name! I wanted to stand out! so i dropped the young and stuck with FLY! and there you have it,FLY LY! (laughs)

What are your feelings towards rap/hip-hop now? Who do you feel is really representing?

I'm loving hip hop right now i feel like its alot of young talent out there waiting for there chance, but theres alot of angry ol heads complainin about the state of hip hop,I think theyre unhappy there relevance is fading! but its whatever, FLY LY and Above Tha Law Records is gonna Kick these doors down for the young hungry artist waiting for they're turn!

I'm definitely feeling the chicago movement going on guys like Kanye West, Lupe Fiasco, Common, Kid Sister, The Cool Kids, are really representing and showing unity amongst eachother, I think thats really cool considering they come from a city with one of the highest killing rates in the US, I think its great how they represent for they're city and hip hop!


How hard is for you to get your "sound" out? Like most people today don't really have creative control over their music. How would you advise others to take control of their medium?

Ummm i think technology is making it a lil easier to get my sound out. different
things the net has to offer such as blogs, myspace, facebook, and different hip hop websites help me get my sound out. I just dropped a mixtape on myspace and I'm getting a great response from people all over the world. So my advice others is to just make the most out of all the resources that are around you, and if your hungry enough you'll find out a way to make them work for you!

Who do you want your music to reach? And what do you want people to get from your music?

I want my music to reach everyone! From men to women, die hard hip hop fans to people who hate hip hop, even kids who are in a single parent home who have a lot of questions that they're mom cant answer, I want them to turn to my music and find answers to those "life" questions. I want people to also just feel like they just heard a movie like they been through every experience in my life whether good or bad! hopefully I can help them with some of the things they're going through

What are your plans for the upcoming year? Where do you see FlyLy in the near future?

My plans for the upcoming year are to cotinue to build The Above Tha Law Records brand, continue to become a better artist, and really lay down that foundation to become one of the biggest music icons in the world.

Are there any upcoming event you want the people to know about?

I have a show coming up at the annex theater in the LES section of NYC

Welcome To West

Located on 147 West 72nd Street (right around the corner from Little Miss Matched..I'll explain later) is a little haven I'd like to introduce WEST.


Its been open for a year and some change now and has been doing great business. They carry brands such as Penfield,Wesc,10 Deep,Nike, Kid-Robot etc etc etc. They carry mens and womens sneakers from Nike/Jordan to the classic Chuck Taylor and everything in between. The also carry a wide array of apparel including outerwear ,sweat-shirts and tees.


Great displays and tasteful decor play a part of the stores appeal.The walls are graced with the likes of Babe Ruth, Humprey Bogard and my favorite Salvitore "Lucky" Luciano.



But what really makes the store great is the excellent crew running things. Meet the employees ( that I meet and interviewed) at West NYC.

Ahmad _ The Manger- The newly appointed manager of the store made me feel warm and welcomed and got my order up pretty fast. He reminds me of the uncle at christmas with great stories and jokes. He is the self appointed beast of this here retail game being that he has been in it for 25 years. Crazy Experienced!!


Devan _ My Personal Favorite =] - Is as cute as a button and acts a little shy but I know hes not. He's been with the crew since June and loves it. "It's a real chill atmosphere in here, you get all types of people in here..." He didnt have a description for his personal style but some of his favorite brans include The Hundreds, Penfield and Nike.Look him up on the space an support his parties.
http://www.myspace.com/sinc3r3iszthafuccinname



Raymond_ The Chinky Eyed Bandit- A handsome young man who carries a good conversation. He's been with the store since the opening in mid-August last year. " Its something that this area needs..." as he speaks about the Upper West Side location of the store. He describes his style as a blend of Andre 3000 and Brad Pitt. Interesting choice of people. "It varies ...It all depends on what I feel like in the morning ya know?"


Roger_ Thats Roger DaCosta(he prefers his whole name) Was quite funny while is was in the store on my second day of interviews." Hey you spilled your ice-cream ..." refering to when my Ice Cream bag fell over and EVERTHING fell out. He gave me plenty of compliments which I love.=] And was really interesting to interview. He's been with the crew for a year and 2 months. When asking him about the store and area he replied " Its a little piece of the streetwear culture that makes the area interesting" I asked him how he would describe his personal style he colorfully replied " ...I'd say it's like a hybrid of urban street culture with a bit of Lodon aristocracy"


Please Go and show LOVE to my sole certified new family at WEST.

Everyone can piss off right about now. Im a f*ing dreamer and I make things reality.

I feel like I give more than I get Its time to take care of me!

Stalley Interview

My left toe Evanka actually tuned me into this guy. Known by the name "Stalley" his style of music speaks so smoothly of what I call "old world hip-hop" and I love it for that. Its that sitting on the stoop music that New York was once known for and hopefully artist like him can bring it back.




What is your reason for making music?How long have you been rapping/making music?

(Money hoes and clothes all a nigga knows) lol nah just kidding lol.
My reasons for making music is because its in meeh, its my outlet, how I express myself, its what I love too do. Its my opportunity to change peoples outlook on life.
I've been rapping half my life, but I've been serious with making music and recording for the past 2 years.

How did you settle/choose the name Stalley?

I actually got the nickname from my father
its a nickname that my family would call meeh growing up.
(R.I.P Dad)


What are your feelings towards rap/hip-hop now? Who do you feel is really representing?

I love Rap/Hip Hop so regardless of the state of hip hop right now I will always respect the art of it. My feelings towards it at the present time is, I take it for what its worth. With that being said I feel that everyone is representing in their own unique way.

How hard is for you to get your "sound" out? Like most people today don't really have creative control over their music. How would you advise others to take control of their medium?

Its not hard for meeh at all to get my music out with the help of word of mouth, myspace, imeem, and various blogs such as the one you have here (thank you for the interview). As far as having creative control I'm currently unsigned so that's something I don't have a issue with. I will stay unsigned if I have too relinquish my creative control, but if I do signed that is something I will make sure to pay very close attention to, because that is something mega important too meeh and my music.
Stand for something or fall for anything. I feel a lot of artist should stop tap dancing and taking the easy way out with these labels and take responsibility for their music and create their own outlets, and in doing that you can have total creative control over your music.

Who do you want your music to reach? And what do you want people to get from your music?

I want my music too reach everyone across the board. I want people too get growth, understanding, and that nostalgic feeling and love for hip hop. The same feeling I got sitting in my room listening too my boom box.

What are your plans for the upcoming year? Where do you see Stalley in the near future?

My plans for the upcoming year are to grow as a man, too live life right in the sight of the most high, to motivate, innovate and continue too work hard and put out Mega music.
I see myself growing, getting better and in every ones face where ever you look you will see Stalley LOL. (God willing)

What advice would you give for other upcoming artist?

Stay true too you, no matter what be yourself and let you reflect in your music, just be natural.

Thank you for the opportunity and and showing meeh love its much appreciated. everyone make sure if you haven't already download the mixtape "GoinAPe" off my myspace page its free until next time. www. myspace. com/stalleysb

Peace and Many blessings

It's Weird....

That "September 11th" was so long ago ...I was in Junior High School then now IM in college...its crazy. My boogie and I were watching this thing on the history channel on it. It felt so surreal to watch and remeber what I was doing when the planes hit each tower. The day the sky went gray is what I called it. NYC skyline will never be the same.

RIP- To all those who perished on that day.

Honee D Interview

As I click away through myspace as I do when Im bored I stumbled upon this young lady. Now I'm not a big "female rapper fan" but she's very pleasing listen to and to look at =] She was nice enough to answer a few questions for me. I introduce HoneeD




What is your reason for making music? How long have you been rapping/making music?

I make music because it allows be to creatively express myself. I've been thru a lot in my life, and my music keeps me sane, and allows me to reach out to others who have been thru the same things, and let them know they arent alone. My MAIN reason for making music is for "the people". Everyone responds well to it, so i give them what they want and make more. LoL I have only been rapping or 3 years, but i have been writing for 6.


How did you settle/choose the name HoneeD?

I was in the studio one night with one of my producers 10-beatz. I was babbling on about what i should call myself, and how I cant come up with a name..and outta nowhere he just said, "your hOnee D." It sounded cute to me at the time, so i stuck with it.


What are your feelings towards rap/hip-hop now? Who do you feel is really representing female wise?

I feel like hip hop is still alive. Times change, and so does music..and the way things are done and represented. Lil' mama does her thing to the max. Her lyrical abilities are outstanding! she gOez hard! Of course the queen Missy always does her thing and represents well. Erykah Badu is on too!

How hard is for you to get your "sound" out? Like most people today dont really have creative control over their music. How would you advise others to take control of their medium?

At first, it was really hard to get my "sound" out. The guys wanted me to be about "sexiness, and seduction." Some females wanted me to "go hard with the guys & represent lyrically." I was torn in between the two at first. I had to really take time out, and find myself before I gained enough confidence to really say, you know what..eff this! Im going to do what I want to do, and only work with people who want the same thing as I do. The only advice I would give is to stay true to yourself, and what you want! Dont let others decide on who you will be, and what you will do. In the end, your the only one who will suffer from not being true to yourself!


Who do you want your music reach? And what do you want people to get from your music?

I want my music to reach everyone! Mainly the more mature crowd tho. But i also try to make stuff that the younger music lovers can dance to, and sing along to without them having to degrade themselves, or anyone else while doing so. I want people to get inspiration from my music. I want them to love it, and be able to say "if she can do it, so can I."


What are your plans for the upcoming year? Where do you see HoneeD in the near future?

My plans are to work, work, work my butt off! Get more material out there, and gain more fan base. I see myself getting signed to a major label in the near future...if things go as planned. LoL..Or at least writing, or co-producing for another major artist. Whatever im doing in the near future, it will involve music. That's a promise.


What advice would you give for other upcoming artist?

Dont give up! Never give up on your dream. I know it sounds cliche, but its the truth. If your heart & soul is into your music, theres no way you wont succeed. I promise that too. No half-stepping. If your going to go for it...then go for it! Give it your all.
