Tal y como contó en una entrevista a varios medios, su silencio todos éstos años fue debido a la inesperada muerte de sus padres, que la mantuvo alejada de la música durante mucho tiempo.

Aunque será su primer álbum desde 1998, ya realizó una colaboración el año pasado en uno de los temas del último disco de Murder C, Screamin’ 4 Vengeance. Cuando sepamos más cosas ya os las iremos contando.

What’cha Gonna Do, del que fue su último disco Mama Drama, de 1998 (colabora Charlie Wilson en el tema).

Rap-stress Mia X finally returns to the limelight after being absent from the industry for more than 10 years…

Rap-stress, Mia X, finally returns to the limelight after an over ten year absence!

Mia X, nee’ Mia Young, was the very first female emcee inked to Master P’s mid-nineties powerhouse imprint, No Limit Records. From 1995 to ’98, Mia released three acclaimed solo albums; Good Girl Gone Bad, the gold certified Unlady Like, and her third and final effort, Mama Drama, before graciously bowing out of the rap game altogether.

Unfortunately, during her musical hiatus, Mia suffered several personal setbacks; primarily the unexpected and tragic passing of both her mother and father, as well as the devastation left in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. Suddenly, she was left to care for not only her own children, but also her youngest sister.
Although the self-proclaimed ‘Unlady Like Diva’ briefly returned in 2006 with “Verbal Assault,” a track produced by Donald XL Robertson that appeared on the popular Southern Smoke mix-tape series, and a pair of songs on C-Murder’s Screamin’ 4 Vengeance in ’08, no project ever materialized. Now, that is all about to change!

Mia X’ highly anticipated, fourth studio LP, Betty Rocka Locksmith, which she is currently finishing up work on, is being introduced by its first two offerings; the radio ready, “1 Life 1 Love,” which she’ll be shooting a video for soon, and “Get Da Paper,” an ode to eighties Hip-Hop.

Betty Rocka Locksmith is currently scheduled to be released in February 2010.

All I got to say is HELL YEAH!  Mama Mia is back!

New Orleans’ Hip-hop for Hope, Soundclash, and Grassroots present HIP-HOP FOR HOPE 2009…

NEW ORLEANS –– On November 14th, 2009 New Orleans Hip-Hop for Hope will partner with Soundclash and Grassroots! to host HIP-HOP FOR HOPE 2009 at Tipitina’s Uptown, to benefit the Roots of Music program (www.rootsofmusic.org), 2-Cent Entertainment’s “Change We Can Create” Summer Program (www.2-Cent.com) and the Benjamin Foundation. Hip-Hop for Hope’s annual benefit concert has raised over $19,000 in the past three years for various educational programs in New Orleans.

This year, the fundraising aims directly at the role of music in education. The Roots of Music program is run by Rebirth Brass Band’s own Derrick Tabb, currently nominated for a CNN Hero’s award for his efforts. The program provides music education in history, theory, instrumental instruction and ensemble performance. Furthermore, academic tutoring is offered to ensure the students maintain at least a 2.5 GPA in school. 2-Cent Entertainment’s “Change We Can Create” Summer Program empowers students through a 7-week mentorship program, while they learn how to express their voices on a variety of issues through video production. The Benjamin Foundation supports a non-profit summer camp run by Q93’s own Wild Wayne, with the mission to “get kids off the streets and provide them with academic enhancement, guidance, direction, culture, experiences and love.”

So this is definitely gonna be a big deal. November 14th. I will definitely be in the building. It’s for a good cause and it’s good music.

The South gone handle the rest!

The hope that this could be the return of the self confident bad bitch, and the excellent production credits, is what made me give a chance to Mz Bratt’s  Give It To Them Vol.2.  A mistake as it turned out.

First thing that should be noted about this is it’s a free download, which  i guess is the reason that it’s a mixed cd with short versions of the originals and a seriously annoying Mz Bratt talking all over it. The idea i guess i to give some previews and get some hype before the real release.

Secondly;  unfortunately Mz Bratt is no bad bitch on this release. Instead she seems to have chosen to go the way of Tinchy stryder and Chipmunk, dancey, electro, RnB, aimed i suppose for the charts. Not aimed at me at at least. This formula takes up most of the mixtape. Whether this is good or bad tunes for the genre i couldn’t say. They are not made me for me. They sound kind of crappy, but so does most of that music to my ears.

Three tunes stand out though. “Warning” is ok, but mostly because of Bruza and Tinie Tempah, “This Year” with Griminal is good, at least,  it’s grime. And “Best Crawler freestyle” with Bruza is a monster. But this is really Terror Danjah proving he can bang out a great tune when he wants to.

The conclusion must be, Mz Bratt is no grime princess, and no Gangsta Boo. She’s mediocre, middle of the road, hoping for the charts and loosing evertything interesting about herself in the process. I will have to look for my grime elsewhere and i will have to look for the bad bitch somewhere else as well. Except for “Best crawler” one thing about this mixtape make me really happy and that is Mz Bratt  letting us now Bruza will have a cd out soon.

Yeah you can download it here if you want to, but you’ve been warned: http://download89.filefront.com/edas6mrnsszg/14555467/Mz+Bratt_Give+It+To+Em+vol+2.rar

Listen to this instead:

First off, I’ll catch A LOT of flack if I don’t start this thing off righ,t so shout out to Frank Whyte.  We had a wonderful discussion about Jay-Z, Kanye West and the industry last night and this morning we picked up right where we left off.  He made sure he played some Jay-Z first thing this morning for my listening pleasure.  American Dreamin’ from American Gangster was his choice to perk me up.  I wish he would have played Who You Wit II.  After dropping, Mr. Whyte off at the train, I picked up where I left off yesterday with the No Limit Soldier, Mystikal.  I wonder why no one has a “Free Mystikal” campaign?  Fuck it.  ”FREE MYSTIKAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”  Anyone know when he gets out????  In case ya’ll forgot how dope Mystikal was, let me reassure you.  Dude was dope.  He definitely had his own style and even matched Busta Rhymes’ energy on Iz They Wildin With Us.  His album, Unpredictable is a dope ass album minus the features from Silkk The Shocker, Mia X and Master P.  I used to play this album a lot back in high school(awwwwwwwww my glory days) but I didn’t really know if I would like it the same way.  I actually like it more than I remember.  To my own surprised, Mystikal has several joints where he brags about his mic/emceeing skills.  All I remembered from Mystikal was him just being over the top.  Dude is definitely dope.  I could pick a bunch of songs from Unpredictable but my favorite shit right now is 13 Years.  He talks about his come up and how he got his deal and whatnot.  I wasn’t a huge No Limit fan but Mystikal definitely saved their whole label for me with Unpredictable.  Like I said, FREE MYSTIKAL and enjoy 13 years.  Not sure if ya’ll remember but No Limit used to RUN SHIT.  Shout out to Master P-Nut.

Mia X’s “I’ll Take Your Man” was my theme song in high school. Well, mine and a couple of my friends, you know who you are.  Every girl, know they feel this way deep down inside. All the down south chicks know they feeling Mia X.  Jam with me Divas!
