HD1

BY: Julian Austin

As I stepped past the giant wooden, double doors into HD1, I found myself staring at a large, plexiglass menu covered with !avor combinations and ingredi-ents I never thought I would have associated with a hot dog. Lets get this straight. HD1 isn’t serving up your typical ballpark style hot dog with ketchup and mustard. In fact, it is much more than that. With a menu inspired by Atlanta chef Richard Blais, and a sleek, modern décor, HD1 embodies a "ner side to enjoying one of America’s most beloved foods - the hot dog. More speci"cally a beef and pork wiener.Complete with a bar serving up your favorite arti-sanal beers and liquors, the space at HD1 is simple enough. A few high tops and communal tables line the center of the room, dotted with patrons chow-ing down on meat in tube form between two sweet Ghana rolls. #e atmosphere casts a social, laid back, come hang out and enjoy a gourmet hot dog type feel.

#ey o$er up varieties like the Eastbound and Down - a wiener covered in Carolina pulled pork and cole slaw. Or, #e Whiz which is smothered in cheese sauce served with shoestring frites. You can never go wrong with the ole standard, justi"ably listed on the menu as #e Classic, a hot dog covered in sauerkraut and HD1’s own mustard.

!edoctorstold me

that I would

never walk again.

Former group member of Le" Eye Productions female group Egypt; T’melle speaks on the devastat-ingly tragic car accident in Hondu-ras involving Lisa “Le" Eye” Lopez and 9 other passengers, including herself. !e odds were stacked against this young lady, and being in critical condition from the accident, she has had a long road to recovery. Bzzy B Magazine had the opportu-nity to sit down with T’melle to get her thoughts and feelings about theentire ordeal, and what she did to help herself heal. T’melle says: It took 2 years to recover. My leg was severely damaged and the doctors performed 5 surgeries on me, Be-cause I was so young, they did not want to put a rod in my leg due to the fact I was still growing. Ultimate-ly, my leg would not heal properly and they ended up putting a rod in my leg anyway. Although I was told I would never walk again; let alone be-ing able to exercise or even dance, I still had faith and kept positive. And I knew God had other plans for me. Fast forward ten years later ....

T’melle: Now I am working on a solo project. I make sure that I take my experiences that I’ve had with the accident, recovering, and trying to make my place in the music industry and put it in my music. With every lyric, melody, and feeling: you get all of me. !rough my music I hope to be able to take my listeners through a journey: “MY JOURNEY”. I’ve been so blessed to have a management team that stands behind me, believes in me, and pushes me to be thebest. T’melle has had the opportunity to work with some of the best in the industry including: Usher, B. Cox, Rodney Jerkins, Rock City, Fantasia, and more.

Be sure to check out her #rst single “Go to War” featuring Waka Floc-ka dropping in March 2012. Also, STAY TUNED next month T’melle has something extra special to share with the readers of Bizzy B Maga-zine... You can #nd out more about T’melle out on

Eugene “400” Jackson

THE SONGWRITER/PRODUCER/PUBLISHER INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MAN

Eugene “400” Jackson, the songwrit-er, the publisher, the international business MAN....400 makes his mark on the world in so many di!erent ways. 400 states, “it takes hard work and you can not let a bump in the road deter you from your dreams.” As a songwriter 400 has written for local and major artist alike from Ce-leste J all the way down to Outkast. Even though his accolades speak for themselves 400 always remains level headed and works just as hard for signed and unsigned artist alike. Starting o! in the rap community 400 was able to secure a deal with Epic Records at a young age but soon realized that his heart was not there. Now 400 indulges in the POP ROCK writing arena he says, “ I feel like I’ve found my niche, my way, my style just breathes pop rock.Bizzy B asks: What song to date is your favorite song that you have written?

400 says “Rain” because it’s about smiling when everything is going wrong, don’t let the thunderstorm on your parade.

400 ON STYLE

“My style is very di!erent from most of the people I hang around I could be wearing some Armani Shades, Mortal Combat Boots, and some

heavy metal wrist bands, but hey that’s where I feel that I the most comfortable.

Bizzy B asks: Do you like to travel?

400: YES but, only for the purposes of getting paid. I am most relaxed when I am making money.

400 has had the opportunity to spread his wings in international business partnering with a clothing business in Africa called Trunk Box Vintage.

400: It’s always a wonderful experi-ence traveling to Africa. I absolutely love it there. But, for those who live in the US you can still purchase items from the store online.

400 on Music

400: Right now my main drive is TV and Film there is a lot of money to be made mainly because of the syndica-tion aspect of things.

Bizzy B: Where do you get the topics for your songs?


“With me, what you see is what you get” - 400YOU START LOOKING FOR MORE THAN WHAT YOU SEE...THAT’S WHEN YOU WILL HAVE PROBLEMS KNOW THAT WHAT YOU GET-

TING AIN’T BAD AT ALL

“ I’m a no nosense kinda guy”400: My concepts come from personal experiences. Music is my outlet. But sometimes, I just sit and vibe to the music and whatever feeling it invokes that’s what I write about. But, every beat brings a di!erent feeling that’s what makes it so easy to get inspired. You will always "nd my answers about love in my music.Because, 400 has had the opportunity to place mu-sic in TV and Film he started a publishing company called MSMJ Publishing. Songwriters and producers

alike are welcome to submit their music on his website www.msmjmusic.com . He is looking for some-one who is consistently writing hot material.

What you see is what you get with with 400. He will always be honest and stay true to himself and his people he has around him all you have to do is play your part.



“I never had to do

anything ILLEGAL to get to

where I am”

!e mastermind behind themusic for songs such as: “Low”- Flo Rida, “Walk it out”, and “ 2 Step” - DjUnk. Montay used his God-given talent to create music that would go on to make millions. With music in over 15 countries, DJ Montay has de"nitely created an empire that he and his family will enjoy for a life-time. Montay sits down with Bizzy B Magazine and candidly talks about his journey in the music industry, from the beginning until now, and what he is looking forward to in the future.

DJ Montay: I started out wanting to be a DJ... I really looked up to DJ Jelly: a huge mixtape DJ in Atlanta. Iremember I would go down to Big Oomp’s record booth at the Flea Market with just pennies, nickels, and quarters and buy the latest DJ Jelly mix tape. I would take that tape home and try to recreate it with my own spin. At the time I was only 15years old. Every week I would go down to Oomp’s booth and let him hear what I had done..... ( At the time DJ Jelly, Big Oomp, and MC Assault were the dream team that basically

started the Mix Tape Game in At-lanta )..... Finally, a#er going down there for several months; Oomp showed up at my house and wanted to sign me.

Bizzy B: So, when you got in the game you wanted to be a DJ, at what point did you want to venture into being a producer?

DJ Montay: About 5 or 6 years later. I was producing stu$ for Baby D, Hitman Sammy Sam, and Intoxi-cated. In 2000, Big Oomp signed DJ Unk to his label Big Oomp Records. Montay and a host of other produc-ers worked on his album. !e "rst single to drop which DJ Montay pro-duced was “Walk it Out” which went 3x platinum in the US. !e follow up single “Two Step” did just as well hitting the Billboard Hot Rap Tracks at #4. !en an A&R from Atlantic contacted Big Oomp about this new artist named Flo Rida. He was look-ing for tracks for his new album Mail on Sunday. Oomp sent over some of Montay’s tracks, and one of those tracks was written by T-Pain and Flo Rida, which is now known as “Low” and the rest is history.

Bizzy B: What was one of your more exciting times in the music industry?

DJ Montay: My "rst huge royalty check!!! I was on the phone with my mom when I opened it, and I was like, “Momma, I gotta go”... I was in that much shock.

Bizzy B: How has your family adjust-ed to your success?

Dj Montay: My family has beensupportive since day one, but I pray a lot that’s what keeps me going.

Bizzy B asked Montay if there were any projects that he could speak of that he is currently working on. He says, “he is really looking forward to ‘BIG KORY’s’ (Big Oomp’s son) album dropping which will be out very soon.”

Underground Economy Presents:Trapp Bank$ & DainjaRuss

!is month we got a chance to sit back and talk with two up and comers in the game, TrappBank$ and Dain-jaRuss. !ere was a feeling of Déjà vu when we started talking to these guys, as they had a sense of folk wis-dom and street savvy about them, which translates well given their style of music and lyricism. And although this may be the "rst time you have heard of them; these two lyricists are seasoned veterans, and in many ways their attitudes towards music and life de"nitely place them outside of the norm, especially in comparison to many of their peers. Jay Russell: When people hear your music how do you want them to feel?

TrappBank$ : I want them to feel like; when you hear a song and a beat and you go, “ Oh that’s my jam!” !en I know as a person part of that song relates back to you as the listener, I want them to relate basically.

DainjaRuss: I just want people to feel my music man, and I just want move them in a way. I’d like them to feel that I’m the same type of person they are, and that I have gone through similar things that they have gone through.

JR: What made you all decide to get into rapping as op-posed to any other type of occupations out there?

TB: Well for one singing in the chorus in 6th grade

piqued my interest in music. !en in the 7th grade there was this black history month program and I was supposed to recite Martin Luther King Jr’s, “I Have a Dream” speech. However, instead of just speaking it Ms. August made me rewrite it as a rap.(Laughs) At the end of the rap I remember doing this James brown split, it was a crazy feeling.

DR: Jam Pony ,basically what I would do on certain songs is, I would let whoever it was rap their verse or whatever, and I would write a bar then a#er they were done rhyming I’d spit. Eventually, I "gured instead of just doing a little part of a song why not write a full bar. And what I would do is take one radio and play a beat then have another radio recording the beat and me rhyming over it.

JR: Do you feel like the region you all are in has any ef-fect on the type of music you all make?

TB: No, the south really has not really had any e$ect on the type of music I make. I do some Northern sounding stu$, some western sounding stu$. It really varies from time to time. But all in all there is going to be some-thing for everyone on there.

TB: No, the south really has not really had any e$ect on the type of music I make. I do some Northern sound-ing stu$, some western sounding stu$. It really varies


from time to time. But all in all there is going to be something for every-one on there.

DR: I have never really been just a Southern rapper; I have a lot of art-ists that have in!uenced me. Wu-Tang, Nas, and Tupac are big inspi-rations of mine, and I feel like if you took them all and rolled them into one: that’s how I think I sound.JR: What is the overall message of your music?

TB: It depends on what type of song I’m doing at the time, it really varies and just comes down to what I have experienced in my life; basically my music is my story.

DR: "ere is a lot of stu# I have gone through and experienced and music is my way of expressing myself….I gotta get some of this darkness outta me.

JR: What is the hardest part of being an independent artist?TB: Finances and working with a limited budget is really hard at times.

DR: Getting money and staying rel-evant in the game; there are so many underground MC’s going a$er what you are going a$er, and it gets really competitive.

JR: On the other hand, what is the most rewarding aspect of being an independent artist?

JR: On the other hand, what is the most rewarding aspect of being an independent artist?

TB: Control over everything and the ability to make money from what you love doing.

DR: I can agree with that although sometimes I feel like I would rath-erhave the money over the fame any

day of the week. But regardless of whether we blow up or not our men-tality will stay the same.

JR: Who do you all feel is your target audience, who do you all basically feel like you appeal to?

TB: I feel like out audience ranges anywhere from 20 to 35

DR: A more mature crowd basically.

JR: Lyrics-wise where do you all get your songs from?

TB: "e bottom of that cup

(points to alcohol and laughs )….Nah I’m kidding, I get my lyrics from whatever the beat says to me , my lyrics are derived from what I feel like the beat is saying to me.

DR: It really depends on my mood. I let the beat take me somewhere that’s just… bangin.

JR: Alright, so when you are on stage and the crowd reacts positively, what does that do to you?

DR: It’s like, “Man I didn’t know they felt like that”


- it just gasses you up and gives you motivation to keep going!

TB: Reach on teach on it makes me feel like I’m the shit, I love it! It’s the best feeling when you get up there grab the mic and start spittin and the crowd starts rhyming right back to you!

JR : What do you do to mentally prepare for your performance?

TB: Grab my cup, grab a drink and get in the zone.

DR: Same thing.

TB: We try to lose ourselves and go to another place inside of the music and alcohol helps us do that, but not too much, just enough to get a buzz going.

JR: So, let’s touch on this a bit be-cause I think there is something im-portant here. Earlier you said you have a lot of darkness in you, where do you think this pain comes from?

DR: My mom is in prison, I just lost my job, and I have three kids to feed … My life has not been easy there has been a lot of stu! I’ve seen and

experienced that’s caused me a lot of pain.

TB: Whenever I think of that phrase “product of your environment” I think of him.

DR: "at’s what I talk about in my music my experiences I don’t #oss in my songs the only money I talk about is the money I have held. "e only times I really talk about the $ner things are when I am talking about ful$lling my dreams in the fu-ture.

JR: So do you all have any other proj-ects you are working on right now, any solo stu!?

TB: We are primarily focused on the Mixtape we do he solo stu! as we go along.

JR: Where do you all perform main-ly?

TB and DR: South Atlanta. "row-backs, Blue Flame, "e Gate, J. Pauls and Tiempo Bravado.

JR: Do you all have any new music out right now?TB and DR: Yeah, right now we have UGE Mixtape volume 1: Die or Do.

JR: So how can we get in contact with you all?

TB and DR: On Twitter you can con-nect with us through the accounts - @dainjaruss850 and @trappbanks. On Facebook you can connect with us through our accounts- facebook/russelbrown and facebook/trap-pbanks. And on you tube our chan-nel is- youtube/undergroundecono-my1"ese two ambitious MCs aren’t looking to make a name for them-selves; they already have, only time will tell.

Bizzy B: It’s been 10 years since the passing of Lisa “Le" Eye” Lopez

how have you coped with her pass-ing?

the shirt o# her back if she thought it would help you get to your goals.

Bizzy B: Who are some of the artist that you draw inspiration from?

Brandi D: Janet Jackson.... she is the greatest musically but of course I love Beyonce and J-Lo I really feel

Brandi D: I was in Puerto Rico when she passed I was just numb. I don’t think it really hit me until I got home. Whitney is something that we will never have again. She was America’s Princess. My aunt was re-ally good friends with Whitney so

like she is a true powerhouse.

Bizzy B: What are some of the things that we can look forward to on your new album?

“You’ve got to be willing to self-promote or you won’t make it” - Terry

“It’s not my style to dog women”Music Industries new comer Terry singer/songwriter sits down with Bizzy B Magazine to talk with us about his journey to stardom.

Bizzy B: What made you want to be a singer?

Terry: I started out in the the church at the age of 9. My mom was the choir director.

Bizzy B: What is the inspiration for your music?

Terry: 99% of the music I write is about being grateful to women. It’s not my style to dog women. Plus 85% of the things I write are things I’ve or someone close to me has experienced.

Bizzy B: How do you get yourself out there?

Terry: I self promote. I do my own !yers, sell CD’s, and go to clubs to see if I can perform there. I am always on Facebook, Myspace, and Twitter... I promote, promote, promote. I’ve been at this for about 4 years now. Al-though I have to admit at times I felt that I should fall back. I kinda feel like major labels aren’t really looking at independent artists though.

Bizzy B: What is your favorite song on your album?

Terry: Precious Time... the meaning behind this song

is that time never felt more precious than the time that I’ve spent with the person I love. I really feel like people can relate to this song. Everyone has been in this situa-tion at least one time in their lives.

Bizzy B: To date how many shows have you done and what was the most exciting one?

Terry: I’ve done close to 35 shows within the last 4 years. I think my favorite one’s were the one’s where I have opened for Trey Songz, Jamie Foxx, and Jagged Edge at the Music Soul Festival in Fayetteville NC.

Bizzy B: What is one thing that you want to let your fans know about you?

Terry: I’m doing real music that people can relate to and I will always do my best to stay true to that.

Bizzy B: Do you have anyone you would like to shout out?

Terry: First I would like to thank GOD for me to have this gi". my Mom for her love and guidance my whole Scott Town, Quincy, and Tallahassee FL family, my manager Tonya Mc Neil, Big homie and mentor Chase and lastly shout out to UGE.

Here’s my pointer for the month: play up the lips so you won’t have to worry about the rest of your face...!e hot colors this spring are "ery reds, fuchsia pinks, and orangey cor-alsMy suggestion for an easy, long last-ing look is to pick an awesome lip liner you fall in love with at "rst sight. Line the lip and "ll in all the way, this will give a matte "nish that is more of a natural "nish that you can blot, re"ll, and layer with your everyday chap stick for an easy lip pop. You can go an extra step fur-ther and layer your liner with lip-stick and/or gloss that compliments your favorite liner for more of a dra-matic and ampli"ed e#ect. When you have these luscious, spring lips, good news is that you don’t have to do too much to the rest of the face (which saves time), so slap on some mascara, and a shimmery blush for a fresh dewy look and be on your way! If you do anything with the eye,

let it be a light application of eyeliner or just a brush of natural, shimmery eyeshadow. Have a great spring and enjoy the $owers and all the colors nature has to o#er! P.s. Don’t forget this weather brings sweat and allergies so be mindful to take care of your skin! You may have to change your cleanser and mois-turizer so pay attention to what your skin is doing and saying to you!

!ings Woman Hate about Men

!e connection between men and women has always been a love-hate type. !ough this is a much delib-erated topic, I will bring about cer-tain points which women de"nite-ly "nd “annoying” in a man. We know for sure that a woman never likes a man who is weak or shows too much of interest in her initial-ly. !ough women publicly admit that they like men who are strong, secretly they like a man on whom she can wield certain amount of power. Well for all the MEN read-ing this article, the Maxwell song ’!is Women’s Work’ is how we would love to de"ne her. No mat-ter what, men will always enjoy the company of a woman.It is also likely (majority of the times) that a woman would not like a person who would show insen-sitivity towards her feelings. !is is a mistake that many men make and women do not like this atti-tude from them. !ere are many other factors that women gener-ally do not like in men such as ar-rogance, lies, submissive behavior, etc. Never ever show a woman that you have a weak character. !is is another of the traits that women dislike in a man. It is a mistake that many men make by making

a woman feel that he is ready to fall at her feet. Contrary to a man’s thinking that a woman would ap-preciate it, women get annoyed with men who are too submissive and ready to do anything for her. !is does not mean that a wom-an does not want a sensitive man who is open about his feelings, but it does mean that a woman still wants a man to be his own person, think for himself and claim what he wants from a relationship.A woman’s relationship with a man is very delicate and she looks for a strong shoulder to rest her head. A woman always likes a man who has a big heart and ready to share and care. And then there’s the “self-centered man” - is rarely loved by women and more o#en than not will crave for female company. Men, you are setting yourself up for failure, if you show unjusti"ed interest in other women when you are with a woman. !is is conduct that women dislike and will de"nitely put her o$. Scheming attitude is something that women dislike in a man. !e male brain is highly special-ized, using speci"c parts of one hemisphere or the other to accom-

plish speci"c tasks. !e female brain is more di$used and utilizes signi"cant portions of both hemispheres for a variety of tasks.Men are able to focus on narrow issues and block out unrelated in-formation and distractions.

Women naturally see everyday things from a broader, “big-pic-ture” vantage point.

Men can narrowly focus their brains on speci"c tasks or activi-ties for long periods of time with-out tiring. Women are better equipped to di-vide their attention among mul-tiple activities or tasks.Men are able to separate informa-tion, stimulus, emotions, relation-ships, etc. into separate compart-ments in their brains,Women tend to link everything to-gether.Men see individual issues with parts of their brain, Women look at the holistic or mul-tiple issues with their whole brain (both hemispheres). Men want sex.Women want relationships.

!ings Woman Hate about Men continued........more testosterone in their systems than do women. !is makes men typically more narrowly focused- which is typically not the case with women. All of a woman’s senses are, in some respects, more "nely tuned than those of a man.Men want #esh - Women want love. Just as boys want balloons, toys, and carburetors, the girls have always wanted contact, and communion, and company. !e female mind is organized to place priority on relationship, the male on achievement. Men keep a tally of their sexual conquests. !e fe-male brain is not organized to keep sex in a separate compartment. !is is a male model-as if his brain has a speci"c "ling cabinet for sex, completely unrelated to emotion.Conclusion: Men o$en act with the intention of impressing a woman. But unfortunately, as I explained in the "rst part of this article, we are o$en misguided as to what kind of behavior we think women like; thus, our actions don’t always yield the results we hoped for. It’s too common that men get blamed for all of the emotional and mechanical errors when it comes to women. Can you blame us? Of all the nightmarish memo-

ries and scars we’ve been a%icted for years and years? No human be-ing is perfect. !ere are some bad habits which every human being is indulging in. But these habits should never be out of limits.
