Ms. Drama TV

In part 2 of the Chris Jasper interview, Jasper explains what lead to the break-up of the group of Isley-Jasper-Isley and why it may have been due to Ron Isley’s wanting the younger brothers in the group. Jasper hints that there was likely an underlying competition between both groups. On the note of overrated artists, Jasper admits he’s not a Justin Bieber fan and that he’s franky a “okay” artist. He also ends with his thoughts on rap and being a Jay-Z fan due to his melodies.

It seems as if the music business has gotten the best of Jazmine Sullivan. About 3 weeks ago, the lovely songstress announced via her Twitter account she was taken a hiatus from the music business. She deleted the tweets shortly after but I managed to get a screenshot of them. Here’s what she said below.

I’m making an official announcement that I am taking a break from music. I’m trying to figure out who I am…w/out a mike, paper, or pen. I promised myself when it wasn’t fun anymore I wouldn’t do it. And here I am. I’m not saying I wont ever sing in my life becuz I dont believe that. But in this moment…rt now… i got some things to figure out. I love u all and appreciate u soooooo much. U have no idea how much u’ve inspired me and fed my ego. But the truth is that I have to believe in me whether you all do or not. And thats what I’m look for. That belief in myself. Me. I . I love us. Thanks for being here for me and riding with me on this journey. Let us continue. I’m fine everyone. just switching things up a bit till i get it right. now kanye… thats who we should have a prayer circle for. lolol

Let’s hope she decides to boycott the hiatus &come back to make that soulful music we all love. Below, you’ll find a song, entitled “Take Over You” that producer Salaam Remi liberated during the week. This song was on a mixtape she released before signing her deal with J Records. My personal favorite Jazmine Sullivan song. Take a listen & you’ll understand why.

So this week I was invited to be a guest on the Vanessa Jasey show in New Jersey. For those of you who aren’t familiar, Vanessa was one of Wendy Williams’ prized interns during her time at WBLS. Unfortunately, things didn’t go as planned with the internship for Vanessa- but Ms. Jasey kept her memento going with her own weekly, self entitled, online show.

Of course, as a woman whose seen industry backbiting firsthand when it comes to supporting other women on the grind – I knew I had to come out and support this up and coming sista in the game. Not surprisingly, the experience was great – and Vanessa, who was a lovely host, conducted a great show. Her crew and team were also exceptional and I definitely hope to see them all again.

RALPHY BOY:

With art in his blood due to his father being a professional painter, as he would explain it, Ralphy Boy’s music is his way of drawing a picture with words. Born the son of Haitian parents in the East Flatbush section of Brooklyn and although growing up in such an ill neighborhood Ralphy was able to be expose himself to different environments and cultures which allowed him to pick up different talents and crafts such as sketching, photography but more importantly music. His choice was not only a way for him to be his own man and escape his father’s shadow but also as a way for this once shy young man to break out of his shell and express himself without any limitations. Although, the inspiration has been a part of him throughout, it wasn’t until the sudden death of his father in 2008, when Ralphy decided to take his music career more seriously.

The passion in this Brooklyn Hip Hopper’s high pitched voice in addition to his use of charismatic rhyme schemes, well crafted wordplay, relentless flow, head nodding instrumentals and catchy hooks gives listeners the feeling of the raw Hip Hop enthusiasts of this genre have grown to love and miss dearly. As a storyteller, Ralphy gives you his life of love, pain, anger, happiness and being fly in such a way no artist can but that everyone can relate to. Within each song you learn something new about not only Ralphy Boy the artist but the man as well.

Ralphy has some of the mid 80′s showman’s ethos that permeated hip hop during that time. Evoking the spirit of old school legends like Slick Rick, Doug E. Fresh, Dana Dane & Kool Moe D, Ralphy is on a mission to make sure his audience has much as a good time as he does. In this world of hipster rap where looking cool often seems to trump moving the crowd, Ralphy’s audience first approach is refreshing to say the least.

After numerous amazing music videos (including the crowd favorite “Get It”) and leaks, Ralphy Boy independently released his first project entitled “Hear Me, Feel Me” on December 28, 2010 as a free digital download which was well received by the blogosphere. “Hear Me, Feel Me” is the audio memoir of Ralphy, as he delves deep to bring his listeners an honest piece of artwork. The project is the story of a young man learning about himself with each life experience while dealing with conflicts such as love, heartbreak, empowerment, ignorance, lifestyle & religion. Reaching climactic highs, dramatic lows and taking unexpected turns, “Hear Me, Feel Me” is nothing short of a thrill ride.

With many opportunities on the horizon in 2011, not to mention more music and videos Ralphy Boy is ready to set the world ablaze.
