By: Ashley MariettaCategory: Events

An Atlanta favorite, ForteBowie, premiered Vice Haus 2, live at Music Room this past Monday night (Dec, 12, 2016) for a packed venue who crowded around as Forte debuted the new project and screened videos from early favorites “Birfday” and “Hitlist.” Forte was backed on stage by DJ Genesis and Slade Da Monsta who assisted on keys for live renditons or Vice Haus 2 tracks. Some of Atlanta’s notable underground talent such as Money Makin Nique, Landstrip Chip, Yung Booke, Cmore Stacks, Wavy Wallace and 31 Gramms were in attendance as well as beloved Snob Life entrepreneur Ming Lee. You can check out Vice Haus 2 here and watch the Hitlist video here.   @AshleyMarietta

Check Out The New Instagram Updates

By: Ashley MariettaCategory: Lifestyle

Instagram has been dominating the social media game especially after implementing “Instagram Stories” this past summer which generally mimics Snapchat’s platform. Today, Berna (@HeyBerna) from the Insta communications team went “live” for an intimate digital crowd of 50 people, including myself, to demonstrate the newest feature and drop info on some of the updates happening in Instagram today as well as the coming weeks.       LIVE: As of today, a select group of people (mainly content creators and influencers) can go live directly from their story on an interface that is essentially Periscope. It will appear in your story feed with the “LIVE” indicator across the broadcaster’s photo to signify an active live broadcast. Users can broadcast up to an hour but can immediately hop back on live to start another hour long live session, although these live cast can not be replayed or saved. Berna assured today’s viewers that this feature will be available to all users after the completion of a successful test run in select markets.   DISAPPEARING PHOTO AND VIDEO MESSAGES: Another eerily similar Snap influence feature rolls out today as Insta now offers the option to send photos and videos in direct messages that vanish after a few seconds.  EXPECTED UPDATES: Instagram has promised that we will see more creative (Snapchat-like) features in the coming months, as early as a couple weeks, such as filters, location tags and more. Stay tuned for news on updates and always, follow me and say hi! – @AshleyMarietta

By: Ashley MariettaCategory: Features

ForteBowie fans have been begging for a Vice Haus 2 after the success of Vice Haus & Vice Haus Deluxe in 2013. Finally, after touring with  Trinidad James, molding the successful sound of singer Jacquees and another tour run with alternative pop band Cherub, Forte finally confirms the anticipated Vice Haus 2 is indeed on the way before the year closes.

Before passing, Prince discovered and began working with an amazing all girl trio by the name of KING who’s music is nothing short of ethereal. With only 3 songs on their debut EP, twin sisters Amber & Paris and band-mate Anita managed to stir up an incredible buzz and appreciation that has followed them to their latest project, We Are King.

With cuffing season among us, we can not afford to miss out on the alternative R&B vibes that ooze from the Prince-approved musing of KING.
