Interview by: Camillia Harris. I met the R&B singer Ray Lavender at Café Nineteen in Atlantic Station to interview him. As I sat in front of Mr. Ray Lavender. His intriguing eye-catching, million dollar smile, with an innocent cocoa brown complexion, comforting a warm charisma captures my attention, to say the least. From the moment he introduced himself, I knew this interview would come at ease. Although I would have preferred him to sit across from me, he sat beside me and warmly introducing himself “Hello, I’m Ray Lavender”.

By Nikki D. Bosompem. Back in the 80’s, when hip hop was fresh on the scene, the industry was primarily dominated by males.  Female MC’s were few and a novelty.  The only female DJ I can remember who reached a semblance of notoriety was Spinderella from the popular group Salt-N-Pepa. Since then, there has not been much female representation on the turn tables.  The fact that men were always central and present behind the tables did nothing to deter DJ Princess Cut, of College Park, Georgia, from observing, learning, and then “touching the tables” herself in a quest to master the testosterone saturated world of the disc jockey.

By Dee Corley. One of the most valued traits that Atlanta has is the vast selection of things to do and places to go. Anywhere you look entertainment is never far away, and it can be found in any price range from free to the sky’s the limit. Places to go as individuals, as a group or as a family, it can all be found here in Atlanta. Shen Yun Divine Performing Arts Chinese Dance was one of those options that arrived in Atlanta just for the weekend of the 15th through the 17th of January at the Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre.
