First lady of Moore Gang, Gift Uh Gab aka ‘Queen La’Chiefah’ took to the stage to headline her first show earlier this month with the backing of her Moore Gang family in full force!

Before Gift Uh Gab took to the stage I  asked her how she felt about headlining her first show, in short Gift Uh Gab said she had a lot of mixed emotions, and was simply excited to go on stage.

As you can see we’re having a small session in the video, during the recoding Cam The Mac popped up to join the session however, I figured seeing that he’s also apart of Moore Gang it would be nice to have Cam The Mac [who's also a dope artist] do the honors of asking Gift Uh Gab how she felt about headlining her first show.

I know it’s been a while from the last #BesaRoundUp video I did, which is honestly why this one is so long, however the sooner I start doing 2-3 videos a week, the sooner I can make these videos shorter.

In this weeks #BesaRoudUp video I recap/cover Beyonce’s new single “Bow Down/I Been On” plus Keyshia Cole responding to it on Twitter, Love And Hip Hop New York drama, Real Housewives Of Atlanta drama, TMZ killing off Lil Wayne, Jhene Aiko’s new song “Everything Must Go“, Macklemore and Ryan Lewis’ most recent successes PLUS a little Besa rant at the end about naked women in hip hop shows, because I’m truly over it and I hope people know it’s not cute.

“It’s important to release, to let go of everything in good faith and to be led by love not fear” – Jhene Aiko

I swear, every time I’m ready for some new music from Jhene Aiko, she gives it to me!

Yesterday was Jhene Aiko’s 25th birthday and rather than simply popping bottles [or smoking in her case] she released a new song for her fans entitled ‘Everthing Must Go’ via her Tumblr page with a download link. Within the post Jhene Aiko wrote an open letter to her supporters letting them know, she’s not dropping a new mixtape however wanted to give everyone a small life lesson. Find out what the lesson was below:

Alive at 25
What a ride its been !
And I’m still on this wave ….
Steady sailing.
2 years ago, today
On my 23rd birthday I released
Sailing Souls
And was pleasantly surprised by the response .
I didn’t have any expectations…
I really just wanted to share and express myself .
Since then, shit’s been getting crazier and crazier .
Reaching new peaks and hitting all time lows….
While prepping my debut album on Def Jam …. “Souled Out” Read more…

Oh, how do we so love the drama this show brings to our lives! :)

In case you missed Love & Hip Hop Season 3 Episode 8, as always I have the video for you up top! Personally I’ve only seen part of the show this week, however from the part that I did see, Jen is still crying, Winter is still starting mess, and Yandy is forever giving me life!

Rich takes action and confronts Erica on her wrongdoings but she remains steadfast in proving her worth. Joe has a revelation about how he has treated Tahiry and commits to changing. Lore’l lets Winter know how she feels once and for all. The holiday season poses more tension for Jen and Cons. Rashidah launches her new shoe line, but still can’t seem to escape negativity. - Via VH1

Post your thoughts on the show below!!!

And people say the Northwest doesn’t know how to come together! Lies I tell you! Lies!

It’s been brought to my attention Northwest rapper Stunna Kid has added five new key players to his label InkBoyz, which previously just consisted of Stunna Kid, Mic L, Skinny3x and Young Los. As of recent, Stunna has added Tacoma’s 50 Cow, P Slique, Cashier, SLRM , and Seattle’s YS onto the InkBoyz Label.

When I asked Stunna Kid why he picked these artist in particular, he said it’s because all of these artist have their own style and are in “their own lanes.” Stunna also plans on showing the Northwest that we can move better in numbers, and if we simply put egos aside, we could all get more done:

We’re comin together to show if the Northwest came together as one and stopped hating, we could accomplish a lot more!” – Stunna Kid Read more…
