#TeenLifeStyle: Aunt Stella – November 30, 2015

By: Stella Alverson @StellaAPSB

Most people have to wait until they have a niece or nephew when they are in their twenties or thirties. For me, I am able to say I have a nephew as a sixteen-year-old. Tillman Gray Alverson is my brother William’s son. Tillman was born on November 6 at 4:09 am. My mom (Cindy Alverson) and I got the call that William’s wife Helen Anne was going into labor after school on Thursday, and we immediately got excited. Mom took our chocolate labs to the veterinarian, and I started packing our bags. We immediately made the four and a half hours to Dothan.

I tried to catch a nap in the car on the way down, but sadly, Mom kept waking me up for various reasons—none of which I found important as I thought I direly needed my sleep. Mom and I made it to Dothan at about 10:30 pm, and little Tillman didn’t come until 4:08 am. Dad (Bill Alverson) and I chose to head out to his car to catch a few z’s while we were waiting. Mom on the other hand was too excited to sleep and stayed in the waiting room with Helen Anne’s mother Kay and two close friends. My brother William came to get us all from the waiting room around 6 am, and Tillman was adorable. At 6 pounds 13 ounces, he was tiny, but he was the first newborn I’ve ever held.

William-Tillman

When my mom first put him in my arms, all eyes were on me keeping a watch out for any complications or issues. I didn’t mind of course, I had the least amount of baby experience by far, but I wanted to hold him so badly. Dad on the other hand refused to hold him until the next day for fear of dropping him. Tillman is two weeks old now, and he’s growing by the day. He’s only been out of the house two times: to go to the doctor and head to his grandparents’ house for Thanksgiving, but that doesn’t stop the family from bringing him clothes every chance we get. Thanks to his own dad and his other aunt Blanche, Tillman owns two different Houston Rockets outfits, including adidas sweatpants. I personally am trying to get him interested in my sport, so he also owns a volleyball shirt to support the cool aunt at her tournaments. In my opinion, he has two of the best parents around, and he’ll be just alright in the Alverson family.

#EntertainmentPSB: The Future of Atlanta Music – November 23, 2015

By: Brandon Clay @PSBPopCulture and By: Jordan Davis @JDavisPSB

Atlanta is a city well known recently for pushing the pace forward in entertainment, fashion and music alike. With everyone trying to get into fashion, art, and music the level of competition throughout is at what some would say is an all time high.

In addition to industry success: followers, likes and retweets are coveted by even the most established in the fields above. Two Atlanta-based producers share more than early age success and a household, they share a direct family bond. Brothers (@DamiThaPrince) & (@SoundByAde) continue to show they belong in the conversation of who has next from the city that forever changed the hip-hop landscape with OutKast emergence in the late-90’s.

In just four years, they’ve gone from producing beats in their family’s living room in the hopes for the glory to working with some of the hottest young artists in lavish studios reserved for the industry leaders. To date, the brothers have worked with emerging artists such as Bryson Tiller, BJ The Chicago Kid and Montana of 300.

At the ripe old ages of 19 and 20, Dami and Ade are creating their own fast lane in a city where the H-O-V Lane is always the move. Based on their current path, they are well on their way to be two of the hottest producers out of Atlanta for years to come. With a production team that resembles 808 Mafia, they plan on becoming the go to name for artists looking for the next Billboard chart topper.

We sat down with Ade & Dami to see what motivates them through the long nights in the studio, how they manage college while chopping up the music their friends will soon party to and where they are headed from here.

Question: Who do you look up to for music inspiration?

Dami: Honestly, my brother. It’s a musical competition in their house.

Ade: I look up to Kanye West as a musical inspiration. I like his “My Twisted Dark Fantasy” CD the most.

Question: Who would you love to work with?

Dami: PartyNextDoor. He’s just dope right now.

Ade: Pusha T. His style is inline with the music that I’m making.

Question: What was your favorite song of the year?

Dami: “Just Another Interlude” by Bryson Tiller

Ade: “Momma” by Kendrick Lamar off of “To Pimp A Butterfly”

Question: Take on Drake and Meek Mill situation?

Dami: People just love Drake. It’s honestly real hard to get at Drake because of the position that he’s in.

Ade: Everyone’s just riding Drake. Meek is a still a good artist. The people are gonna be back on the Meek bandwagon when Dreamchasers 4 drops.

Jordan: There should have just been Meek on the track, no other voices / no features. Classic battle rap: one on one.

Brandon: Meek tried to do too much. Should have spit quick facts, touched on Drake’s relationship with Serena all over three beats – that throwback Funkmaster Flex style. Rewind the dope lines three or four times in a row.

Question: Name an artist on the come up?

Dami: I vibe with Pouya. He’s an artist from Florida who definitely got bars.

Ade: I’m rockin’ with Travi$ Scott right now. You can see the Kanye influence.

#PSBSportsChop: In Defense of Jay Cutler – November 22, 2015

By: Jonathan Hemingway @JLHemingwayPSB

I will admit that I am a fan of Jay Cutler. I am fully aware of how silly this may sound to many, but I cannot help it. I am a Bears fan and here are the quarterbacks the team has played since I was a kid:

Jim McMahon (Super Bowl winner)
Mike Tomczak
Doug Flutie
Jim Harbaough
Peter Tom Willis
Steve Walsh
Erik Kramer
Dave Krieg
Rick Mirer
Steve Stenstrom
Moses Moreno
Shane Matthews
Cade McNown
Jim Miller
Chris Chandler
Henry Burris
Kordell Stewart
Rex Grossman
Chad Hutchinson
Craig Kenzel
Kyle Orton
Brian Griese
Jay Cutler

That is a list devoid of a legendary quarterback.

All of these years we have prided ourselves as the “Monsters of the Midway,” but somehow never find a QB with talent. Yes, we did go to the Super Bowl with Rex Grossman but this is a guy who had more “Bad Rex” moments than “Good Rex.” Lovie Smith’s turnover creating defense should truly get the credit there.

Then we find Jay Cutler. Highly talented. Highly controversial. I concede what the detractors will say about him:

– He has poor body language
– He makes critical bad decisions
– He does not excude the ‘air’ of a leader

Fact is this: Jay Cutler has won more games and thrown for more touchdowns than any Chicago quarterback, EVER. He may be fatally flawed. He just may never be good enough to lead us back to another Super Bowl. I understand all of this. But I still root for the guy. Why? I am not sure.
But here is an attempt at an explanation…

First: There are LOTS of bad quarterbacks in the league. Sure we could trade or cut the guy, but that would get a guy like Ryan Fitzpatrick or Mark Sanchez…You do not just find an Aaron Rodgers on every street corner.

Second: I am stubborn. I have taken plenty of criticism for Jay’s play in multiple group texts over the years. I would like nothing more than to see Jay Cutler lead the Bears to another playoff appearance. But somehow I think this guy can turn it around.

This season has been a victory for Cutler of sorts. Coach Fox’s new offense has calmed Cutler down. An experienced offensive line has given him more time. While an increased emphasis on the run game has given Cutler balance. His numbers are not gaudy (13 TD’s, 5 INT, 267 yards per game), but they are serviceable. He has kept them in games that last year would have been blow outs. Me, along with many other Bears fans, are very pleased with this year’s start.

We will learn some more about Cutler and the 4-5 Bears when they take on the Denver Broncos, which happens to be Cutler’s (and head coach John Fox) former team.

HEMI-HEAD-SHOTJonathan Hemingway is a Chicago sports fan who reps the Bears, Bulls and Cubs. He’s also a diehard NFL Sunday Ticket subscriber. Like Clay, Hemingway’s music taste are wide-ranged and depend on the day.

#iTunesSounds: Four To Know – November 22, 2015

By: Brandon Clay @PSBPopCulture

Angie Stone – 2 Bad Habits

Stone has long been one of my top R&B female artists dating back to the “Mahogany Soul” release in 2001. Though not a household crossover name like Mary J. Blige, Stone is go-to for quality singles and deep album cuts. Her latest album, “Dream”, is no different. “2 Bad Habits” is the lead single off of this CD and is what I’ve come to expect from the singer. Smooth production with a voice that carries the track from there and turns it into a hit.

Dave East – Forbes List

East went to a real member of the Hip-Hop Forbes List, Nas, for this title cut off of his 20-track debut album, “Hate Me Now.” East pays homage to Nas with the album title as a play on one of the legendary rapper’s classic hits. They both deliver some notable lines in the process.

FAVORITE LINE: “I been literally rich since ’96, would have hit my enemies with a Tek in ’96.” – Nas

MisterWives – Our Own House

MisterWives is an indie pop band who got the ball rolling in 2012. They released an EP, “Reflections,” in 2014. This one slipped right past me with a First Quarter of 2015 release. “Our Own House” is actually the title track off of their debut album with the same title. It’s done well on the U.S. charts reaching as high as No. 31 overall, No. 7 in Alternative. With an uptempo beat and full sound, lead singer Mandy Lee does her thing on this single tying it all together with a catchy sound.

Nick Grant – Royalty

Grant enlisted Cyhi The Prince for this single. Cyhi has been on the Atlanta scene for years and was even signed to G.O.O.D. Music for a while. That said, his counterpart on this track is so new to the scene that he doesn’t even have a Wikipedia page yet. If this song takes off of the way that I think it will, that gap won’t last much longer for South Carolina native Nick Grant. The beat favors a classic rap track from A Tribe Called Quest “Bonita Applebum” and both artists do their thing on the track.

FAVORITE LINE: “Only the Family Matters like Harriet Winslow/AK singing like it’s married to Swizz.”

BREAKDOWN: A play on the 1990’s hit TV show followed by a witty reference to Grammy winner Alicia Keys and her husband Swizz Beatz.

#TeenLifeStyle: Buford Volleyball – State Champs – November 16, 2015

“State Championship Day” fell on Halloween this year. At Buford High, we call it that because it is one of the few days where two separate sports get to compete for the title of State Champion on the same day. We were fortunate enough to win both of these titles. The 2015 crown was the ninth (yes, ninth) straight title for the softball team coached by Tony Wolfe while the first ever title for Buford volleyball.

By: Stella Alverson @StellaAPSB

To prepare for our match, Coach Daniels called for a team focusing day with yoga and a dinner provided by a previous principal of Buford. Our coaches left us with a very inspiring and uplifting speech, and then we were left to our thoughts for the night. Personally, I was so excited and ready to play I had difficulty falling asleep, but when I did, I dreamed of the court, the stands, and the trophy that we all had envisioned so many times before.

In the morning, we met at the school for our breakfast of champions—or so we hoped. The bus rolled out towards Marietta High School at 8:30 am to face St. Pius, and we were pumped. After a song suggestion from my sister Blanche, I blasted “Big Rings” by Drake for the whole bus to hear, to be motivated.

ED’s Note: “Big Rings” is one of my favorite songs off of the Drake / Future collaboration “What A Time To Be Alive.”

About an hour later, we arrived at the school, and after signing in, we bounded down the hallway into the locker room, following the pregame ritual of listening to our warm up playlist despite not having any speakers other than the phone’s. Our favorites just happen to be “Pipe It Up” by Migos, “Halftime” by Homebwoi and Ying Yang Twins, and “Hotline Bling” by Drake, just to name a few.

Once it was time for the match to start, we were ready. BWOD was written on everyone’s fingers, Buford Wolves Or Die. Our team mantra. Right before the National Anthem, one common message was passed along the line, “Imagine the last point. Pass it down.” After we clapped St. Pius’s hands and wished them good luck, it was time for the match to begin.

The match was the closest match we’d had all year. It was a fifth set battle after we won the first two sets 26-24 and 25-12, and St. Pius won the next two 26-24 and 25-23. We were both playing our hearts out, it was time to battle once the ref blew the whistle signaling the 5th set to commence. Our faith didn’t waver any after starting the set off down 0-2 despite the set only being scored to 15. Then, we kicked in into overdrive, busting out of the gate with many service runs getting us to a 14-10 lead. Then, on match point, Tatum Shipes nailed a 10-foot-line kill in the face of a Pius defender, ending the match. The Buford side of the gym erupted. We charged the court, jumped in each other’s arms, and screamed at the top of our lungs. We did it. We had made Buford history. The road to the ring was complete.

Next up is the club volleyball season. I’ll keep you posted once I get my schedule and team finalized.

#EntertainmentPSB: Call of Duty “Black Ops 3” – November 16, 2015

By: Jordan Davis @JDavisPSB

In college, the biggest thing that helps me get through the long and stressful semester is my (limited) free time. For some, it’s being on a sports team, but for me and my crew it’s a combination of working out and video games. My editor, Brandon Clay, thinks he’s stronger than me but I got him beat while still making time to play video games. Other than FIFA, NBA 2K, and Madden, one of our favorite video game franchises is the Call Of Duty series.

Last year, Call of Duty released “Advanced Warfare” but that one didn’t catch on with our crew. The extent of how futuristic the game was made it feel more like a Halo or Gears of War. Fast forward a year to the latest Call of Duty release of “Black Ops 3” was announced we knew what was going to be occupying our late nights. As expected, the graphics are superb and the realism of the gameplay can draw even non gamers to the screen. The moment you turn the game on the introduction page reads, “Forget a sick day, you’ll need a sick week.”

We are either all crammed into one apartment playing or playing together online. After we finish working out around 9:00 pm, my online group – Brett Byerly, Dante Sawyer and CJ James – will stay up until as late as 4:00 am (weekends only of course) glued to our flat screen. Without a doubt, Black Ops 3 is a game that I would recommend for any age and any game experience level.

I Lied – DJ Khaled

Keep an eye out for this one off of the latest Khaled release “I Changed A Lot.” Ironically, this track is a very standard cut off of a Khaled CD featuring French Montana on the hook. I got the assist thrown while attending the Keil Moore Showcase in Philadelphia at a Subway from Matt Jones as I was “breaking bread” with Rider assistant coach Sean “Sticks” Smith.

It’s been a rough fall for Meek Mill but the embattled rapper delivers a solid verse on this one. He teams up with fellow Northeast corridor rappers Beanie Sigel and Jadakiss to drop one of the more memorable tracks on the CD. – Brandon Clay

Kiss Me Quick – Nathan Sykes

I’ve been a fan of Sykes solo career since his duet with Ariana Grande on the track “Almost Is Never Enough” off of her Yours Truly album released in 2013. A former member of the band “The Wanted,” Sykes has a rich voice that over the Kiss Me Quick beat has a pop feel. This song has been in the rotation since the middle of October. Keep an eye on another Sykes’ track “Over and Over Again” as well. – Brandon Clay

Verge – Owl City

One of my favorite groups in the genre, Owl City, teams up with one of my favorite singers of the past 12 months in Aloe Blacc. In “Verge,” Owl City has another hit in their pocket similar to their “Fireflies” smash hit back in the summer of 2009. It’s an uptempo flow with Blacc playing his role well. – Brandon Clay

Vice City – Jay Rock feat. Black Hippy

“Black Hippy” is back since their last time being seen on the U.O.E.N.O remix (a performance that even my 40-year-old pops appreciates) and their incredible cypher at their BET Awards in 2013. A modern rap group that includes artist such as Kendrick Lamar, Schoolboy Q, Ab-Soul, and Jay Rock. Black Hippy’s new song “Vice City” does an impressive job of displaying the versatility of the West Coast super group.

Kendrick starts off the song by making joking references to stereotypical ideology behind rap music saying, “I got big money, big booty women, man that stuff’s gonna be the death of me.” After his verse, Kendrick lets Ab-Soul, Jay Rock, and Schoolboy Q obliterate the track. My personal favorite part of this batch of artist is the way each musician is able to bring in their own style to the group. – Jordan Davis

#PSBSportsChop: University of Missouri – November 9, 2015

The University of Missouri has been the center of media attention this weekend and today due to the racial tension due to the treatment of issues involving minority students. The story itself has been well documented by every credible media outlet nationally. Take a minute to research the background.

Listen to more about this topic on the PSBPopCulture.com Report at the 9:00 min mark:

Our PSBPopCulture.com Group Message kept my iPhone 6S Plus buzzing for the majority of the past 48 hours as the stories kept coming in. Given the racial unrest that was front page just months ago during the Ferguson, Mo., situation, I decided to write about this situation from a different angle.

My point of view is from that of the “student-athlete.” Based on finances generated through booster donations, ticket sales and athletic apparel sponsorships, the current “Power 5” conference system in both men’s basketball and football are funded better than any Minor League organizations in the United States and most draw better average attendance than their pro sports counterparts. Located in Columbia, Mo., the University of Missouri football program is no different.

Even during a down season for the emerging SEC powerhouse so far at 4-5, coach Gary Pinkel and his program are the go-to for Saturday entertainment in the Show Me State. What they say, what they do and how they carry themselves goes a long way in setting trends statewide. It’s why Nike has an endorsement contract to pay the school through cash and product millions of dollars annually. I credit the 36 players who risked their scholarships had the protest lagged on for weeks by saying they would not play football again until change was made. Those young men taking a stand that great says a lot about the tension that existed on the Missouri campus.

Then Pinkel released this tweet that received over 15,000 retweets on Sunday morning:

I talked to Carl Reed Jr., coach of the Lutheran North High program based inside the State of Missouri. One of his former players from a different school, Ronnell Perkins, is on the Missouri roster and was one of the players involved in the initial stance against the President. Reed Jr. had this to say, “I believed that Pinkel would side with the players given the subject matter and sheer amount of guys who felt strongly enough to take a stand. Pinkel’s willingness to stand behind his team and program will go a long way in recruiting future in-state prospects regardless of color.”

I heard a lyric off of Drake’s “6 PM in New York” on his last solo album that I felt captured my sentiments about much of the unrest nationwide including the Missouri situation:

“We need protection from those protecting the block/Nobody looking out for nobody/Maybe we should try and help somebody instead of being somebody that makes the news so every body can tweet about it/And then they start to RIP about it/Four weeks later nobody even speaks about it/Man, I just had to say my piece about it.

In this case, the block is the university and all that it encompasses. Everyone involved in the protest stood up and looked out for each other. By banding together and staying peaceful in the protest, the focus remained on the injustice that the group was calling out as opposed to the protestors themselves. As a result, this situation and the resignation of the President as a result will be talked about much more than four years from now let alone four weeks.

#TeenLifeStyle: “Coach Charming” Series Premier – November 5, 2015

Wednesday marked the World Premier of the new TLC reality series, Coach Charming. The series hits close to home as my dad, Bill Alverson, is the focal point of the storyline. Coach Charming is based on my dad and his lifestyle as a father, lawyer, and, perhaps most importantly, a pageant coach. My brother (William), sister in law (Helen Anne) and sister (Blanche) are all in the show along with various clients and pageant girls of my dad. I even got to be a consistent part of the filming and appeared in both of the opening night episodes.

By: Stella Alverson @StellaAPSB

After making the 600-mile round trip drive from Buford, Ga., to Andalusia, Ala., to film multiple times this past summer, it was awesome to watch the footage rolled into televised episodes last night. Various clips that aired included contestants preparing for pageants as well as bickering between my dad and Helen Anne over foods to eat during her pregnancy. I thought I’d heard all of Dad’s sayings and other phrases he likes to use but I guess not. He had some ultra funny one liners during pageant prep that I had never heard him use before. I laughed harder watching it on TV last night than I did when we were filming.

The first episode was centered around a disagreement over what type of family portrait to take. Dad wanted to take a poolside picture mainly because he wants the world to know that he’s been working out. The rest of us outvoted him going with a studio based portrait instead. Even though he didn’t get his way, I think he was more than happy with the final result. In the second episode, he coached up Britain Bennett on how to overcome obstacles to reach her goals. It’s the same way he’s coached me since Day One and I thought it was awesome to watch it positively affect her life too!

Hopefully this is the start of even more episodes of dad helping his contestants shine on stage while the rest of the family keeps him busy trying to keep pace with our lives off of it. Coach Charming airs on TLC weekly each Wednesday at 10 pm EST/9 CST. It’s a MUST WATCH so make sure to tune in next week.

Brandon Clay’s NOTE: I’ve known the Alverson family over 10 years and thought the show was a very accurate depiction of their life as I’ve come to know it. I’ll be glued to the screen weekly for this. Job well done TLC.

#FreshStyleFits: Epitome ATL – November 4, 2015

By: Jordan Davis @JDavisPSB

My friend, Evan Samuels, and I were in Buckhead a couple months ago when we stepped in Epitome for the first time. It’s located at 252 Pharr Road NE in Atlanta, Ga., a mile down the street from Lenox Mall. From the moment we walked in, we noticed the crisp displays and varieties of shoes the boutique carries. From wall to wall, there are shoes for sneaker heads of all backgrounds ranging from custom Nike Roshes to Vans and even old school Limited Edition Air Maxes. I knew immediately this was a heaven for both collectors and fans of nice kicks alike.

The staff is laid back and down to earth and give great service along with their ability to offer personal knowledge of every collection. My friend, Terah Moore, works there and says “the shoes there can’t be found at any other stores.” She told me, “I’m a sneaker girl so it’s awesome to work somewhere that has a very special selection that you can’t just find at the mall”. Epitome offers an abundance of unique shoes and should be checked out by my people riding through Buckhead. I knew anyone with a fresh shoe game like Brandon’s would like the boutique, so I had to drop the assist.

By: Brandon Clay @BBallPlusMusic

Epitome-Atlanta

I took the Chris Paul like assist from JD and slammed the alley-oop home like Blake Griffin making Epitome home for an hour on Tuesday evening. Like JD, I was immediately drawn to the crisp lines and white designs inside the store. Shoutout to both Terah and Justin Paul for all the help and providing the background of the store while I looked around. I’ve been focusing on tightening up my Jordan Collection the past 12 months but there was a Nike Backpack that caught my attention. The Nike MOG Bolt Bag on display was simply too saucy to let slide so I scooped and scored on my way out to the Daron Jones performance downtown. The staff also informed me that everything is available for purchase online at EpitomeATL.com as well. The store is definitely in the rotation when I visit Lenox and Phipps from here on out.
