How would you describe your music? Well for those who don't know I'm a R&B artist; MR.R&B that is. But I would describe my music to be all around fulfilling to the mind. I make the kind of music that the listeners can relate to whether it be love, heartache, a song of upbringing, deception, feel good music or whatever it may be. All in all my music defines the meaning of what music is suppose to be. What has been your motivation to grind as hard as you do? My motivation to music has just been my love for music. Since I was four music has been all I've wanted to do, all I wanted to be. Of course the wealth is a major plus but for the world to know and love me for my craft and what I do means a million times more to me. What makes you unique as an artist? What makes A-tre unique as an artist? Honestly I'm not pretending to be something I'm not lol. And unlike many artist I have the talent of not only singing but also rapping, writing, and I play piano. While others are in it for the money I'm in it for the ears in the world who've been starving for good music and that's all I give.
A-tre
Name your top 3 accomplishments in your career so far.... My top 3 accomplishments would be opening for Coolio and Tone Loc, opening for V.I.C and headlining Ford Ent Magazine's "Lime Light Showcase Series" of course. What current/Future projects you got going right now? Well as we speak I'm hard @ work on my major mixtape entitled "A FORCE TO BE RECKOND WIT", photo shoots for the mixtape, featuring on numerous tracks with artists such as Steve Woodz, and goin hard to hold up to my self proclaimed "MR.R&B" title. Reverbnation.com/Atre How would you describe your music? I really try to stay away from putting a specific label or description on my music. I incorporate just about everything I listen to within my music somehow. Early 90's hip-hop is where a lot of my inspiration comes from though. What has been your motivation to grind as hard as you do? It's my passion. Even without the goals that I have musically, I would still work on music the way I do. It keeps me sane honestly. Name your top 3 accomplishments in your career so far.... Obviously, I haven't gotten that 'big break' so accomplishments are things that mean something to me personally. About a year and a half ago I really put in some work and taught myself about making beats. Enough to put together 6 of the 10 instrumentals on my Summer School EP. I got a lot of support and good feedback on that project and met some great people through it. And it's also gotten me to the mind state I've been in while approaching this new album. Those are all great accomplishments to me and I wouldn't have it any other way. What current/Future projects you got going right now? I'm working on a currently untitled album right now that I'm really excited about. It's a new sound for me and I'm having a ton of fun during the creative process. I've been updating my website www.listentoandre.com with new music as the project comes along. There's always gonna be stuff coming out with me and other members of PayUp and I've been doing a lot of work with LeMieux. So just keep updated with me and my website and the social networks.

What has been your motivation to grind as hard as you do?
Doelo
My motivation would be of course the woman who carried me for 9 months because with all the trouble I got into growing up, she always thought that I was innocent no matter what my run ins with the law or at school, and because I can’t stand to see my mother work two jobs. I would like to see my mother retire someday soon and not have to clock into nobody’s time clock so the bills would get paid. Also, my brothers and specially my oldest brother who is currently incarcerated right now. My whole management team is part of my motivation and I can’t forget those who hate on Dirty Boss Ent when our presence is noticed by any DJ or when all eyes are on us at any club when we’re in the building.

Lil Rufus
What are your thoughts on the music industry? “The music industry is a hard industry to break into and it can make or break you. To all the aspiring artists out there who wants to be the next big thing, I say keep your head on straight…..and have in mind Don’t
idea of what you really want to do.
let anyone change your path. Stay on that
positive road and feel like you can make it. Stay positive and on the right track and you'll be successful”
How does it feel to be signed with a great label like Big Gates Records? “Being signed with big gates records has been a moving experience. A movement that I'm trying to keep moving. I'm hoping everything works out coz it’s a big process. From late night studio times to writing and recording. It’s a hard industry to get into and a harder one to stay in. So it’s been a blessing all the way around.”
Myspace.com/RufusMuzic Why and how did you choose your stage name? I was born Manuel Verdejo-Perez and every since I was young I’ve been called Manny. I was raised by my Mother and the P is from my her side of the family and most people know me as Manny Perez. How would you describe your music?

What has been the biggest challenge for you in music so far?

My Biggest Challenge in Music so far has been the transition of a NY/East Coast Style Artist, to appeal the listeners of the South. The Music up North is so Different from what is popular in the South, and I’ve had the Opportunity to develop a whole New Style that is appealing to all Ears… List all your accomplishments so far in your career: Performed at Cleveland Rock-n-Roll Hall Fame; Joined Flava Entertainment; Won 1st Place at LimeLight Showcase; Won Week 4 “Im A Show Off” Open Mic at Nirvana, many more to come… Reverbnation.com/FlavaEntertainment
How would you describe your music? Hip-Hop. I've always kept my music light-hearted and care-free, but lately, trying to spark emotions and having subjects where can people can relate has been key. I really want people to feel closer to me after listening. Not everyone in the rap game can speak on the stuff that I go thru on a daily basis. The regular, everyday person isn't "poppin' bottles" on a Thursday. I want people to relate to the message, but also keep it musically on point. What has been your motivation to grind as hard as you do? My motivation is based on just doing what I love to do. Music has always been a constant in my life. Always something I looked forward to after a long-day at school, to just kick it with my friends and spit. The grind comes from those experiences I've had with music and always wanting that to be a part of my life. To me, it's not even "grind" - its life. To make dreams reality, certain steps have to be taken to progress and actually make money from this industry. We (PayUp Game) are trying to push the envelope on how our music is presented and perceived, whether that's taking the live-show to new heights and trying new things - to being entirely internet-based when giving out our music. It's all about progression and getting the music we worked so hard on, heard by as many people as possible.
Mouf Milly
What current/Future projects you got going right now? I have an EP I'm droppping in late January/ early Feb. We've been tossing around titles - "HeartOverMind" is one of them. Along with that all original project, I'm dropping the sequel to my previous mixtape "What Would Jay Do". That mixtape was done over all of the Blueprint 3 beats (Download @ PayUpGame.Com) - but this time around I'm going to be using classic Hov beats ("Threats" , "Big Pimpin", "So Ghetto"). They will hopefully both be out right around the same time. Www.PayUpGame.com How would you describe your music?
Princess
Extremely versatile. I like the fact that I can sing anything anywhere and cater to any audience. It’s important to have many dimensions to you as an artist so that people can relate. Who inspires you as an artist? No doubt Whitney! Because vocally it gets no better. Lauren Hill definitely , because she sings, acts, and is one of the best lyricists in our time. Also Mary J., Sade, Prince, Lalah Hathaway and I know this is gonna throw people off, but the lead singer from the group H-Town! I love a man who can sing like that! What has been the highlight of your music career so far?
To be honest with you, Nothing! Sounds crazy right? I was top 40 Season 6 of American Idol, & made it to round2 in California for the Search for the Next PussyCat Doll. But I’ve yet to give the world what I have to offer, when it comes to me as a singer and performer. And I can’t wait til that happens! (Which is sooner then people think) I feel when you’ve been deprived of something you’ve been born to do, you stay hungry for your passion and you appreciate it more, get better at it. And its revealed for the world to enjoy. What are your current projects? My current plans are to finish the album and prepare for local club performances as well as out of state. Give the out of towners a taste of how we do it and what we have to offer here! Can’t wait to show people what I’ve been preparing for my whole life. Reverbnation.com/SingPrincess

I want to be able to feel that feeling of success and be able to share that wealth with my family. What makes you unique as an artist? My sound and my versatility.. No one on a track sounds like Psycho Joe PERIOD. I remember I was sitting in a room one time with 7 other artist and they all agreed on one thing, that I could be on a track with 100 other artist on it and you could still know it was me as soon as I came on. My versatility is great, it allows me to work with all different types of artists, I have a respect for good music across the board. I live off VIBES.

S Jayy
What has been your motivation to grind as hard as you do? My motivation has been all those successful individuals who made it, and those who haven't made it. I use them as a measuring stick as to where I want to be, and who I want to become. The world is mine, sky is the only limit. What makes you unique as an artist? My uniqueness as an artist is due to my fearless approach, I have so many ideas going through my head, and I'm not afraid to try different things with my music. I like pushing the envelope. Some people may look at me as being weird or whatever. I just call it being creative and that is why I would consider myself unique.

How would you describe your music? Entertaining! i make the type of music that everyone can relate to not just for 1 Genre. What influenced you and why did you choose to make music? Just the love of music itself. Without music this world would be so black and white lol.
Steve Woodz
Always the jokester, in 2005 Stephen Underwood wrote a song called “I hate my Babymama” and recorded it at a friend’s studio. Next thing he knew, everyone had the song playing on their myspace pages! That’s when it really occurred to him that he had true talent and was destined to be one of the most known artists out of the 239.
If you could work with any artist, who would you choose? I would love to work wit Wayne cuz i feel i could get more outta of it..He is not only a artist but a wise and great business man so i would learn alot out of that experience. If you could choose any other profession? Which would you choose and Why? I have no fall back plan but music. Its sad but that's my passion and I will not fail
Myspace.com/SteveWoodz
How did you get started in music? Well writing comes naturally and it's how I get things off of my chest. I had a situation and I wrote about it. I let one of my people hear for it and they encouraged me to get in the booth. The rest is history.
Sweetie
What has been the biggest challenge for you so far? I would say not knowing which route to take. I know what I want to do, it's taking the steps to get it done that is mind boggling. I'm learning as I go. What would you like to change about the music industry? I know they say sex sells, but if you have good music, you have good music. If your music is garbage then sooner or later no matter how much skin you show, your record sells will paint a better picture and speak volumes. What’s your motivation? My son. I want to be able to lead by example when I tell him he can do whatever his heart desires, no matter how crazy anyone else may think it is. Also, every time someone hears one song they either tell me to let them know when I finish my cd or they ask me when I'ma do another song.
What are your songs mostly based on? My songs are based on things my friends or I have gone through and are going through. Every song is personal. I can't write what I can't relate to or haven't experienced first hand or through someone else. Reverbnation.com/ Sweetie
How would you describe your music? It’s an expression of your soul. It’s like going in a pitch black room and screaming with all your soul.
T.R.A.P
What influenced you and why did you choose to make music? Life in general. I have a lot of outlets, but music sits so well on my soul that it screams Express Me! If you could work with any artist, who would you choose? Jay-Z because I feel he is one of the most thorough artist in the game. How did you get started in this industry? What was your motivation?
My motivation is basically life. I see so much wrong with today, that I wonder if my words can shape the future. I see a lot of niggaz minds being shaped by followers instead of leaders, so me as a leader, I have to step in and shed insight. What's the BEST thing about being in the music industry? You have a chance to give back. Whether it’s thru dance music or real life issues.

ForDCandy of the month
ForDCandy of the month My name is Stephanie Alexis. I am 20 years old born and raised in Long Island, NY. I am Dominican and Puerto Rican. I'm young, Smart, Funny, Random And Very Easy To Get Along With. I'm a full time student studying Radiology. On my free time I enjoy doing photography (sadphotography.blogspot.com), Bellydancing (Sahra Hookah Lounge, Ft Myers, Fl), and modeling. Modeling Is My Passion. I've Done Everything From Commercials To Music Videos. I've been modeling on and off since the age of ten. I started out with children's magazine. As I got older I ventured off doing jobs from music videos to more magazines. I enjoy modeling because I can be myself without being over provocative, but sexy in a way where I am most comfortable. I plan to continue modeling in the near future, my goals are to be featured in much more than I am in now.
List three things about you that makes you stand out as a model.
Booking info: 34A-24-36; 5'2", 105lbs
1. My personality
What types of modeling have you done?
2. My ambition
Music Videos, Print Modeling, Promotional Modeling, Online Print, Calendars, Magazines, Fashion Shows. Why modeling as a career? I enjoy Modeling, its a fun hobby, I enjoy being in front of the camera. As a model you can bring out your personality, you feel freedom to expose not only your outer beauty but your inner as well. Modeling has helped me break out my shell and taught me to love myself for who I am, not for what others want me to be!
3. My determination
Do you have any other skills/talents? I do graphic design, photography, I bellydance, and love to write. What advice would you give a newcomer to the game? Don't be afraid, feel free to bring out your true self! If there's one thing I've noticed working in this type of industry is that no matter how tall you are, and no matter your size or look, there's always going to be a job for you in this career field. You just gotta work it and be yourself! What is the biggest misconception about models? That people feel we are just beauty with no brains, just because we dress sexy and pose a certain way don't make us anything less than who we really are!

Tell us about some of the projects you are working on now..
Sounds like you got a lot going on right now, the new album, the videos, the new label OMG (On My Grind) and you’re moving and making things happen right now. Tell me, what motivates you to go as hard as you do? This all I know. Like seriously, this all I know. I can’t see myself doing nothing else. And this is honestly from the heart. I don't know nothing else. Since you’re first single Pop Lock & Drop it is such a different sound from your new songs right now, and your fans have moved right along with the progress and continue to support you. Describe to me who your “typical” fan is? I have all types of fans. As far as Hip Hop goes right now, there’s a lot of basic rappers out there, a lot of senseless records out. I want the fans who listened to T.I’s Urban Legend. The ones who were listening to Eminem, before he was on drugs, back when Nas and Jay was doing his thing, when people was actually listening to lyrics instead of just hearing a beat and just dancing to it. People who recognize good music. I’m making music that people are gonna feel, That they can relate too. I make good music. So whether you’re white, green, purple or black, I got that music for you.

Computer Lust By Paige Diamond
what you like, them to do that turns you on. Tell her to get her dildo and ride it from the back. Tell him to jack his dick real slow. Whatever gets you off- TELL THEM! How Does It Feel: Don’t be ashamed to ask them how it feels when they are touching themselves. Nonverbal clues that they are enjoying themselves are no different from if you were actually having sex- lip biting, heavy breathing, moans and body movements. Feedback: Tell them how it makes you feel seeing them please themselves, how sexy they look, how bad you want to fuck them. Talk dirty- this boosts your partner’s comfort and eases the tension of them feeling awkward. Some things are universal-whether it is cam or regular sex but just in case you forget remember this: Hygiene Is Everything Make sure your genitals are clean. There is nothing worse than a close up of a dick with smegma (what my granny calls “Gnat Bread”) or thick white secretions in the folds of the pussy. Though these body secretions are normal, it is an immediate turn off! Also for heaven’s sake, MOW YOUR LAWN! Your Surroundings Sight just doesn’t relate to the body, it also has to do with what’s in your background. Your surroundings need to be clean and neat. Who wants to be distracted by all that shit in your background or an unmade bed? NO ONE. Dirty environment equals a limp dick and a dry pussy. Case closed. Props If a sex toy is used, make sure you clean your sex toy prior to and immediately after sex play. Don’t just lie in the wet spot… if you can help it that is. Soap and warm water are good for toys generally but you should always keep a toy cleaner on deck preferably w/ the ingredient Triclosan which is an antibacterial ingredient. Diggin’ It Out When fingering make sure hands are clean as well as nails are dirt free and clipped. Long finger nails can cause tearing in the vaginal lining and dirty hands and nails can cause infection.
Seems like just yesterday we were walking around with beepers using beeper codes to communicate- Okay maybe not yesterday but you get my drift. Now technology has taken over and we have found different ways to communicate, even down to how we approach sex with all the sexting and phone sex going on and it keeps getting better. I am sure you’re familiar with cyber sex, you know virtual sex encounters where two or more people are connected via the internet. At first cyber sex was just sexually explicit messages sent via private instant messengers describing a sexual experience but it has evolved to include avatars, masturbation and my favorite of all webcams. Now I personally couldn’t get with the 1990’s version of cyber sex…. All that typing would have threw me off my game but when webcams got into the mix it made the safest form of sex- masturbation, a bit more adventurous. So for you phone boners, its time to step your sex game up and add a lil’ Cam Sex into your repertoire. Cam sex is exactly what it sounds like- a sexual experience via internet. Of course you can’t fuck someone through your computer screen but you can mutually get off watching each other masturbate. I am all for busting nuts and remaining disease free, so lets get a lil’ deeper into this form of sex that has taken masturbation to the next level. Who is it for? Cam sex can be seen as a mild form of voyeurism which is when someone is sexually excited by watching someone undress or engage in any type of sexual activity. I’ve found that women are increasingly turned on by watching their mate “touch themselves” versus before men were primarily the voyeurs. People who benefit from Cam bone are: Anyone gutsy enough to watch or be watched by someone. If you’re in a long distance relationship or a part from your mate for whatever reasons- cam sex can Lastly for those of you that not only want to look but also hear, definitely take the edge off as well as lighten up the thought of your partner cheating while they are away. try Skype, Yahoo! Video Calls & Gmail Video Chat. If you want Couples can also use this as role play. You can sim- to get a lil’ kinky, try a cam sex orgy. This can be a good for a couple who is thinking about venturing into the threesome ply go in another room and watch each other get off realm. You’ll thank me later! on cam. Keys to Successful Cam Play Own It: Dominance in the bedroom is not only seductive, it’s powerful. Don’t be afraid to open your mouth and tell them
