Although Williams was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, he was raised in Dayton. He is the son of a former member of the Black Panther Party. As a child, Williams rejected a scholarship to The National Science Academy, choosing instead to emulate his idols such as Don Knotts, Bill Cosby, Darnell Allen, Walt New and Richard Pryor by becoming a comedian.

Katt Williams started out on Wild ‘N Out on MTV. His jokes and punchlines instantly made the show a favorite. He has also played supporting characters in movies such as the upcoming movie First Sunday, Norbit, and probably more widely recognized for his character in the movie “Friday After Next” as “Money Mike”. He has also provided numerous skits and video appearances for artists such as Ludacris, E-40, Outkast, Lil’ Kim, Lyfe Jennings, Nick Cannon, Suga Free, Lil‘ Scrappy, and a variety of other up and coming artists. In 2006, Williams starred on his own new stand-up HBO show: The Pimp Chronicles Pt. 1. He is considered a “Harlem World Diplomat” and member of the Dipset Family (The Diplomats).

In 2008, Williams made news when he handed out $100 bills to audience members at one of his standup performances in Los Angeles’ famed Laugh Factory comedy club.

devon’s OLSKOOL R&B JOINT OF THE WEEK!!Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

This artist 1995 debut album entitled “Deborah Cox”

the album sprung four singles from it including the first single from the album Sentimental. This single peaked at #27 on the billboard hot 100 and #4 on the R&B charts. So here is my throwback pick of the week the beautiful, the sexy.
Deborah Cox

Deborah Cox began singing for TV commercials at age 12, and she entered various talent shows with the help of her mother. She performed in nightclubs as a teenager, and she also began to write music around the same time. Cox entered the music industry as a backup vocalist for Celine Dion, and after signing to Arista Records, she releasedself-titled debut album in 1995. Image Hosted by ImageShack.usThe album introduced her to the world and set the stage for 1998’s One Wish. The first single from that album, “Nobody’s Supposed To Be Here“, spent fourteen weeks at #1 on the Hot R&B charts in the USA, as well as eight consecutive weeks at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100. Her third album entitled The Morning After was released in November 2002, under J Records. On February 17, 2004, she made her Broadway debut in the Elton John-Tim RiceAida, returning to recording only to release a dance remix of “Easy As Life” as a single. her musical

Cox also has been involved in a number of movies and soundtracks. In 2000, she played Niko Rosen in Love Come Down. In 2001, her hit-song “Absolutely Not” was featured in Dr. Dolittle 2. In 2005, in the movie Blood of a Champion she played the role of Sharon, and again in 2005, her voice was featured in the movie Hotel Rwanda in a song entitled “Nobody Cares”.

To sustain demand for Cox’s club appearances, while focused on her family and new album projects, she released a dance single titled “House Is Not A Home” on Nervous Records in January 2006. Later in the year, a new song entitled “Definition Of Love” was used in the movie Akeelah and the Bee, but has yet not been released as a single.

Between 2005 and 2006 Deborah recorded a new album called Destination Moon as a tribute to jazz singer Dinah Washington. Destination Moon, her fourth studio album, was released on June 19, 2007.

She performed the Canadian national anthem at the NBA All Star Game in New Orleans, LA on February 17th, 2008.Image Hosted by ImageShack.us-DEVON

Ace furthered his mainstream appeal in 1995, with his radio-friendly Sittin’ on Chrome album. This effort was also released with the Masta Ace Incorporated crew, now also known as The I.N.C. The album was Ace’s most commercially successful release, breaking into the Top 20 on Billboard’s Top R&B/Hip Hop Albums chart. Sittin’ On Chrome included “Born to Roll”, as well as two other Hot 100 hit singles, “The I.N.C. Ride” and “Sittin’ on Chrome“. Following the album’s success, Ace had a falling out with I.N.C. members Lord Digga and Paula Perry, leading to the break up of the crew. After the split, Ace was largely missing from the hip hop scene over the next five years, save for a number of random vinyl singles. During his vinyl days, he bounced from a number of labels, releasing his “Cars” single on Tape Kingz Records, his “Yeah Yeah Yeah” and “NFL” singles on the Union Label, his “NY Confidential” single on Replay Records, his “Express Delivery” single on Three Sixty Records, his “Spread It Out/Hellbound” single on Yosumi Records, his “Conflict” single on Mona Records, his “Ghetto Like” single on Fat Beats, his “So Now U A MC” single on Bad Magic Records, and his “Brooklyn Blocks” single on Buckshot’s Duck Down Records.

**shaddy sidenote**-”sittin on chrome is in my top favorite rap albums of all time. The production of the record was ahead of its time. This tape inspired me to Dig deeper into my love for synthesizers. The way they mixed keyboards and samples on this album was CrazY. The only comparison would be either “the chronic” or “ready 2 die” production wise. I know, crazy.
