2010 Underground Girls of Hip Hop Awards Show

The 2010 Female Hip Hop Honors took place, last Saturday May 22, in Los Angeles at The Radisson Hotel! The event was to commemorate the beauty of women in Hip Hop!  Female and Male MC’s Old & New came out to celebrate!

Special honorees included domestic violence survivor, Grammy Winner, author Queen Pen and humanitarian and Academy nominee Kimberly Rivers Roberts; hosted by “bad girl of comedy” Luenell and special performance by Lady of Rage.

This award breaks down the barriers of conventionalism and was created to acknowledge and honor the achievements and contributions of legendary Females in Hip Hop, unsigned and independent artists within the urban music scene. Every year there are incredible records released by independent labels and artists, and this year F Records Recording Artist Draft was in the building as a presenter and performer, throwing it down for the ladies! So I’m sure you can understand why this event is dear to me!

With the recent turn of music, I must say, I want everyone to become familiar with my artist and label and really understand the movement we have created! I am proud to be working with such an amazing group of talented artists and one of the “Best” Producers in the game, and I’m not being biased! Of course I stand behind my company and vision, but we intend to give you “Timeless Music” that will “Feed the Soul”! So stay tuned F Records, “Don’t Think, Just Listen” www.frecordsonline.com

Black Shoes and Belt

These items can be worn with  your suit, khakis and or jeans to give a little sophistication to those casual outfits. This is an essential combo, please take time to invest!

 White Dress Shirt

 A simple but classic white dress shirt, can go with just about everything. It is great for day and night occasions and can add a sharp but versatile look to and outfit!

 Solid Tie

Solid ties are easy and versatile. If solid isn’t your thing, try a  diagnol stripe, another simple but versatile style.  Havaing several tie patterns however, will ensure you are prepared for anything from interviews, weddings and other events.

A Blazer

A good blazer preferably navy, is good all year round and works with khakis and jeans for that Casual Look! You can also invest in a tweed sport coat but it’s only good for the winter months. Either way a blazer or sport coat can bring a look together!

Khakis/Jeans

No Explanation is really necessary for either of these items. Both are a staple of the American wardrobe. Wear dressy or casual whatever suits the occassion.

 Overcoat

An overcoat doesn’t necessarily mean a long coat. It can refer to a ¾ length coat or car coat. This item can complete a look when the winter months hit.

Casual Shirt

 The Little Black Dress

Let me say every woman needs a little black dress! Trends come and go, but the little black dress will always be stylish. Sexy, Glamorous and timeless it is an essential piece for every woman’s wardrobe! In the words of great designer Karl Lagerfield, “One is never over or underdressed with a little black dress”.

Cashmere Cardigan

A Cardigan is always classic and smart . When Spring/Summer rolls around this can be paired with floaty, feminine dresses and skirts.

 A Classic Pair of Jeans

Just like the little black dress, trends come and go with jeans, but a classic pair of jeans can last you a lifetime!  Jeans are relaxed, simple and sexy. Denim can be casual or elgant depending on how you mix the pieces together.

Get to Know...Honor Roll Clothing Group H.R.C.G.

New Clothing Brand, Honor Roll Clothing Group, set to release today, May 24, 2010 is based out of Atlanta, GA.

California Native, Blair Caffey reached out to me a week ago about his new clothing brand, and I was honored to speak with such a positive brother and help spread awareness about his new line of clothing. With a great ‘Passion for Fashion’, after interning in Chicago for ESPN Radio, Blair met a lot of Underground Hip Hop Artists, and was tired of what was being put out by other Urban Fashion Companies and became very interested in starting his own clothing line. Blair spent the past two years gaining an understanding of the fashion business, and teamed up with his business partner Darnell Shepherd, and added a very talented designer Brock Horne to his team to start Honor Roll Clothing Group H.R.C.G.

 When asked how did he come up with the name, “I feel everyone is living on ‘Honor Roll of Life’ and not really focused on living out their dreams and I want to inspire people to ‘think outside the box’; the theme behind our Summer Collection entitled ‘Pardon My Excellence’ tells a story about being yourself and taking a risk to follow your dreams and create your own destiny”.

“The Inspiration Behind the Line comes from Life: Trials, Tribulations and Triumph! Those 3 things are what make up the fabric of people in general, and in my opinion there is nothing more beautiful than those pure emotions of life. We strive to create a product that legitimately symbolizes hope, the spirit of perseverance, and embracing life and all of its good and bad baggage”.

“9-5's, Stuff it in Your Pipe, Respect My Smarts, and Be You” are just a few of the taglines on their t-shirts and on that ‘Positive Note’, I’m inspired to rock these T’s myself!

Starting out with the t-shirts, H.R.C.G.’s target market is all nationalities between, 18-28.  H.R.C.G. will be expanding their brand to a full-clothing line of sweatshirts, crewnecks, cardigans and a letterman jacket in Fall 2010 so stay tuned! You will be able purchase all items from their online store www.honorrollshop.com .

 H. R. C. G.’s goal is to create a “Main Stream” demand with “Exclusive” accessibility. In the years to come, H.R.C.G would like to open a shop, sell in other boutiques and eventually come out with a Female Line. So if you want to be Fresh and Fly for the Summer, Checkout Honor Roll Clothing Group!
