Monica, Trey Songz and Dondria came through Baltimore’s Pier Six Pavilion Friday for the SOLD OUT Passion, Pain, Pleasure Tour. Monica blew the crowd out of the water with “Love All Over Me” and “Still Standing.” She even dedicated part of her set to the legendary Whitney Houston. She never fails to put on a show. She also didn’t fail to set the record straight on recent rumors, put out by Shannon’s disgruntled ex, about her being a “homewrecker.” Notice how classy Monica remains as she addresses the rumors. Check out the interview here:

Trey Songz, Monica and Dondria headlined the Passion, Pain, Pleasure Tour in Baltimore Friday evening. The sold out show was the talk of the city last weekend. Trey pampered a few lucky ladies with massages, food, wine and a private meet and greet before the show. He also sat down with 92Q’s Kelson “The Urban Informer” to discuss the tour, his new album, making out with Ciara, and hooking up with Lauren London. He even hinted toward another tour being in the works. Check out the interview here:

JD’s protégé Dondria opened up for the Passion, Pain, Pleasure tour starring Trey Songz and Monica when the tour rolled into Baltimore’s Pier Six Pavilion . 92Q’s Dre Johnson talked to Dondria just before hitting the stage. Let’s just say Dondria is not as innocent as she appears. LOL.

On Thursday Seriously Funnyman Kevin Hart called me up to talk about his “Laugh At My Pain” Tour that will hit Baltimore October 16. Of all the comedians I have talked to, he is definitely one of ones that keeps me laughing constantly. We talked about the Fantasia situation, his platinum selling new DVD “Seriously Funny”, mistakes comedians make coming into the game and his fears of becoming the “IT” comedian.

Part 2:
We also talked about his favorite comedians and who would make the 2010 cast for Kings/Queens of Comedy and what we can expect from him on this new tour. He even answered questions from my Twitter followers. Uh oh. Anyway, check out this hilarious interview.

You can check out Kevin Hart and his brand new tour, Laugh At My Pain tour, when it hits Baltimore on October 16. Tickets are only $36.75. They are on-sale NOW at Ticketmaster

The Dream’s album Love King is out and in stores TODAY. It features tracks including the Love King remix featuring Ludacris, Makeup Bag featuring T.I., Sex Intelligent, F.I.L.A. also featuring T.I. and more.

During the interview he claims that this is his last album and he’s looking forward to retiring from being a solo artist and continue working behind the scenes producing and writing music and possibly being in a group along with T-Pain. WTF?

If you are looking for hott collaborations, you won’t find it. He only features T.I. on this album. He also talked about his highly controversial remake of Aaliyah’s “One In A Million”. It was not a hit among fans and was better left untouched. The Dream also talks about marriage the second time around to singer Christina Milian.

Check out the interview (in three parts) right here!

Over the weekend, I got a chance to sit down and talk Dondria aka Phatfffat, who was in town for an event at Eden’s Lounge.

The R&B singer-songwriter was discovered by Jermaine Dupree from YouTube. Dondria uploaded video of herself, daily, singing her rendition of chart-topping songs including “Love” by Musiq Soulchild, “Listen” by Beyonce, and “Are You That Somebody” by Aaliyah just to name a few. She received lots of feedback and a large following on the site.

On August 3, she plans to release her album Dondria vs. Phatfffat.

Check out my interview with Dondria here where she reveals her local crush, how Youtube changed her life, how she almost missed out on her oppurtunity to get signed by Jermaine Dupri, and much more.

Special Thank You out to Roshanda, Aliya (Bubblistic Mgmt, and Mindbolic), SoSo Def, Tippy Inc, and Robin Razzi!

T-Pain rolled through Bmore a few days ago, and you know The Urban Informer had to sit down and chop it up with him. It being the first time formally meeting T-Pain, I wasn’t too sure how he was. You get some artist who feel they are the IT, and don’t have time to just kick it-not with T-Pain.

We talked about his brand new Freaknik cartoon, selling his soul to the devil, what we can expect from the new album Revolver, using the vocoder, his stage performances, his golf cart incident, the T-Wayne project, and we played the Name Game!

My brother DJ Showtime, the co-host of 92Q’s Rap Attack sat in with me, and chimed in with me. We talked about Akon retiring off T-Pain or Lady Gaga (if Lady Gaga and Akon really tight), the next move for Nappy Boy, being sued, and his iphone app.

RevolveR, will drop later this year.

Just hours after being released from jail, 92Q’s own Kelson The Urban Informer get the FIRST EXCLUSIVE interview with Waka Flocka Flame!

In his first interview from jail, Waka talks about his release, working with Diddy on the set of “O Lets Do It” remix, and artists saying he isn’t lyrical.

Listen here:

Last weekend, Overture Films & Allied sent me up to NYC for the screening of “Brooklyn’s Finest” starring Wesley Snipes, Ethan Hawke, Don Cheadle, and Richard Gere!

The morning after the screening, it was time for me to go to work. Turn your speakers all the way up, sit back, and enjoy the interviews with the stars and director of “Brooklyn’s Finest“!

During Ethan and Antoine’s interview, I got the chance to ask about their chemistry together on their second film, what was Antoine trying to potray in the movie, and choosing some “Wire” stars in the movie!

Interviewing Don Cheadle & Wesley Snipes, I knew it was going to be lots of fun! I got the chance to ask Don how he prepared for his “special role”, if Wesley’s character in the movie compared to his Nino Brown character in New Jack City, did Wesley ever get joked for playing a drag queen, and which one you would NEVER catch listening to Taylor Swift.

If I had to give a grade on the movie, I would give Brooklyn’s Finest at A-. It is definitely a must-see. I describe it as a Crash-meets-New Jack City.

Brooklyn’s Finest is in theaters March 5th.
