STAMP'D Young Money's Gudda Gudda

Moving on up, maybe not to the Eastside but Gudda Gudda of Lil Wayne's Young Money ENT. camp is moving on up in the game. Literally, Gudda Gudda was moving from one lavish luxury condo to an even more luxurious one to celebrate his recent success and ultimate buzz. He allowed for STAMP'D to steal him away for a bit to chat. He told us, while he was carrying flat screen LCD televisions into his new Houston condo, that his recent success with Young Money can only be attributed to God and his fans. When asked how he felt about the hundreds of thousands of downloads his mixtape "Welcome to Guddaville" got, he humbly responded, "actually, its at over a million now."Unscathed by our miscalculations, Gudda Gudda proceeded to tell us about his long standing relationship with Lil Wayne. "We started out tight wit SQAD UP, but shit got fucked up on the business side. We just didn't see eye to eye, so I split." Now, after hashing out their differences, Weezy and Gudda are reunited and accompanied by a clique full of talent with the Young Money team. Gudda Gudda's big debut with Young Money was on the "Every Girl" track and video where the world was reacquainted and more so introduced to the face behind the lyrics. However, he really made his mark and STAMP'D the game with his verse on the Young Money collaborative hit "Bedrock." Gudda Gudda speaks on the topic, "yeah, the 'Bedrock' verse killed em. I came to prove myself and I did. I had to leave that Gudda Gudda YM stamp on the scene ya know."Well, a stamp he left, and a seemingly permanent one at that. This won't be the last you see of Gudda Gudda. His next project Welcome to Guddaville 2 is even more rugged, more raw, and more powerful than its widely acclaimed predecessor. He is also working on his own solo album with plans to release it winter 2010. Needless to say, Gudda Gudda has been STAMP'D!

Blair Maxberry and the BLOCKnROLL Movement

Sex, drugs, and partying; the building blocks of a college experience that prestigious universities won’t promote, but Maryland born, Atlanta bred Blair Maxberry took up the task of highlighting the exciting facets of secondary education in his debut hit song “College Life”. The independently signed artist on Steroidz, LLC rocked the Atlanta University Center this past fall while shooting the music video for his song at his house located within walking distance from the Clark Atlanta University, Morehouse and Spelman College campuses. Filmed on the same day as the annual classic Morehouse vs. Clark basketball game, Maxberry’s video brought the entire AUC along with many students from surrounding Atlanta schools to the house party themed video set. Blair Maxberry and the rest of his crew are known around Atlanta for throwing the wildest, craziest, and best house parties. The parties thrown at his house are epic and are considered by many as their best college experience; “why wouldn’t I use one of my house parties as my video? It’s where all the shit goes down! Walnut [the street Blair lived on] is the shit and “college life” is the shit!” says Blair while taking a pull from his newly lighted Newport cigarette. “And the crazy thing about it all,” Maxberry begins, “is that everything in my video was REAL! REAL partiers, REAL liquor, REAL girls we fucked, and that’s REALLY my house!” The reality of Blair’s video has proved to be quite beneficial; “College Life” premiered on WorldStarHipHop.com mid February and within a week topped off at almost 100,000 views worldwide.  This is just the beginning. The founding artist of the BLOCKnROLL genre, described by Maxberry’s ace, Garcia Vegaz, as the perfect blend between Rap and Rock”n”Roll, has recently opened for Jay Z’s first signed artist, J.Cole, at his concert in Atlanta, and just returned from South Beach Miami after filming his video for his second single “Spring Break”. Garcia Vegaz, who co-directed the “College Life” music video, the music video for his own song “Caviar” with Steroidz, LLC and Bangladesh Productions producer, Fraze, and the soon-to-be released “Spring Break” music video simply says, “We like to have fun. That’s all. Our videos aren’t fake or extra. They just show you the shit we do for fun on a daily basis with our music in the background. We’re really living a movie.” A movie they are living and this seems that the climax of this film is faaaaaar way. “It’s still in the opening credits,” Maxberry interjects. We haven’t even gotten to the sex scenes and car chases yet.” The figurative movie that the BLOCKnROLL duo is living may not just be that. GVegaz leans closely over ash covered table and whispers, “Real shit, we’re actually making a movie, really a few movies and a reality TV show. People ain’t ready for what we’re about to bring. If you’re not listening to us, then you’ll be watching us. If you’re not watching us, then you’ll be reading about us. We got everything covered. Just wait and see.” The anticipation for all of their endeavors is mounting, and especially since neither Maxberry nor GVegaz will spill the beans as to when the movies and TV show will premier, but what we can expect in the near future is their nation-wide touring kicking off late 2010.  What both Blair and GVegaz humbly decided not to mention, was that they opened up for J.Cole and Wiz Khalifa at their respective shows in Atlanta, GA. Their performance was so BLOCKnROLL that they were kicked out of backstage at the J.Cole concert after their set because they were too narley on stage, pouring liquor in red cups and passing them to fans in the audience. Coming to a college campus or stage near you, Blair Maxberry and Garcia Vegaz are ready to “ROCK THAT SHIT” so be prepared because BLOCKnROLL is STAMP'D and here to stay!
