F! F! F! – Rap Battles, Twin Hotties, Culture & More!

May 30, 2014 by AshleYYY
My Blog
2014, AshleYYY, AshleYYY Music, ATL Live on the Park, Atlanta Braves, Auditions, Birthday Bash, Caribbean Carnival, Culture, Culture shoes, Dancer, Drumline, F! F! F!, Fun Fact Friday!, hhucit, HHUCIT Music Group, Joe, McDonalds, R.A.P ON AIDS, Rap battle, Twin Hotties, V103

Yes, it’s that time of the month – FUN FACT FRIDAY! So May has actually been a really busy month for me – feels like the longest month ever! Lol I’ve had an adventurous last couple of weeks. Allow me to share a few moments with you all below 🙂

 1. My twin sister, Erin came to visit me for a WHOLE WEEK! It was a well needed visit. I’ve been missing the people that mean the most to me back home, so it was nice to have her here with me 🙂 #TwinPower! Now of course we recorded lots of corny videos (some of which may be posted at a later date lol) and took many photos of our time spent together. (Read my blog on Erin’s visit here!)  

2. I feel like I have just been dancing my butt off this month! Lol Man! I went on about 5 auditions this month (3 out of 5 – dancing). There was one that just really stuck with me – Drumline: A New Beat auditions. This was a two day process, therefore a lot of passion, sweat & tears went into it. I learned 4 completely different routines in 2 days & killed all of em! Lol No lie. Now, I was in the Marching Band back in high school (clarinet player), but never had any experience doing dance team drills; so this was a really cool experience! The dance style is so uniformed & sassy! 🙂 Sadly, I wasn’t one of the twenty something ladies chosen for the TV movie. 🙁 But as always, evaluate your performance, take notes, learn from it & KEEP IT MOVING! 🙂 Praise God. Picstitch 2Picstitch 1

3. I won a RAP BATTLE! LOL … So I went to audition (yes, another one lol) for a chance to perform at ‘Birthday Bash’, one of the biggest music concerts in Atlanta, GA. McDonald’s is sponsoring ‘5 Minutes of Fame’ and was looking for talent. I attended the last audition and of course it was a large turnout! The staff at V103 (The People Station) did a raffle – so if your name was called, you got ONE minute to perform. At the end of the night, judges picked their top 4, and now viewers must vote online… yada yada…so I stuck around to see how I could WIN free tix to the concert, since I wouldn’t be performing lol.

 Beyonce, of V103, asked for 4 ladies & 4 guys to participate in a “Freestyle Rap Battle” – I raised my hand. Lol She picked me! There were two rounds; the first two ladies went against ea other (winners were based off of applause), then I went against the third contestant. *Thank God it was a cappella!* I performed ‘The S-H-I-T’ and at the end of my verse, I did a little bit of singing. (I think that was bonus points for me lol) I won that round! Then, I had to go against the other winner. I performed ‘Rock the Mic’ but first got the crowd clapping with me, and then I DELIVERED! LOL Praise God! It feels good to be a versatile artist; I just KNEW my rapping skills would come in handy and I’d win a battle one day! Haha! :O 🙂

4. Like I said, this has been an adventurous month! (I’m trying to keep this down to 5 facts only! :o) So I’ll sum these events up together…ALL three of these were a first for me!

ATL Live on the Park – There was some amazing talent in the building, from singers to songwriters & super producers. We had a blast! I even got to meet R&B singer, Joe!

Atlanta Braves Baseball Game – We had some great seats! At least 4 baseballs flew past our section! Lol After the Braves won, there was a fireworks show!

Atlanta Caribbean Carnival – Omg. I just can’t get over how HOT it was that whole day lol Despite the weather, we did lots of walking, met new people, and saw how they ‘get down’ in other cultures! Ashley & Joe

5. Speaking of cultures, 🙂 did you guys know I helped launch a new campaign?! That’s right! I have been in a focus group over the past month and given the opportunity to create our very own sneaker! But not just any sneaker – a sneaker with PURPOSE. Culture has partnered with R.A.P On AIDS and will donate 100% of the profits to help combat the deadly epidemic. Culture: The R.A.P On AIDS Edition, is a red & peanut butter, unisex shoe. This is a limited edition sneaker & will be on sale for 30 DAYS ONLY, starting June 1st,2014. (Enter your info. on the site here & be sure to follow Culture’s social media!) Please #Support this great cause! Culture Profile Picture

Thank You! Thank You for tuning in & have a safe weekend! Goodbye month of May; let’s see what June has in store 😉 Talk to ya’ll soon…

God Bless,

It’s that time again… Fun Fact Friday! For the Month of January 2014 🙂

1. “Winter Storm” catches Atlanta off guard

snow

So as I mentioned in my previous blog, we had a “winter storm” the other day. People were stuck on slippery roads, in traffic for hours. Some slept at schools, local businesses, and/or were even forced to leave their cars & walk to find shelter for the night. Today, I learned that all the cars left on the road were towed! Owners can come claim their abandoned vehicles & drive them home! Praise God. I was wondering how they were gonna get the cars off the streets. Lol

2. T-Pain

One of my good friends/dancer, Vanessa, invited me to meet a few artists over the holiday. I met a couple singers, writers, and even spoke to T-Pain himself! Lol How cool. (He doesn’t know yet, but one day we will do a collab. 🙂 Lol) Next time I’ll make sure I tell him how much I love his music! I actually dance to a lot of his songs. “Booty Wurk” is the latest one…Check out my performance from last year! –> Click here

3. Birthday Girl  

January is my birthday month 🙂 and this year I wrote a pretty personal blog about turning another year old. Get deep with me here –> Click here

IMG_3479 I’ve also realized it’s about 15 of us whose bdays ALL fall in this month! :O (i.e. My mom, sister, niece, nephews, friends, etc.) Capricorn babies! Oh and an Aquarius! (…I’m not really into all that sign stuff, but I figure I’d give a shout out. Lol)

4. American Idol Premieres

IMG_3589

As you all know I auditioned for American Idol, season 13 and it finally aired; which means I am now able to really share my experience with you all. If you missed my first post/video, check it out here –> Click here

Expect more of my story and footage soon! Told ya’ll I got ya covered 😉 And once again, THANK YOU guys for being so supportive!

5. Official resident of Georgia!

OKAY SO LEMME TELL YA’LL WHAT WENT DOWN….. I received a letter in the mail from the DMV back home in WI. It was almost time for me to renew my “probationary license” lol. So I decided to finally renew it but at the same time become a GA resident officially – right before my birthday! So this was a big deal for me! I was so excited!

NOW I SAID TO MYSELF I WASN’T GONNA COMPLAIN ANYMORE & TELL THE PUBLIC ABOUT IT, BUT…. This is a major fun fact! Lol So I rushed to do my make-up & hair, get to the DMV all cute, get to the counter and go thru the process. It’s time to take my pic and the worker says, “Don’t move until you see the flash.” So I fix myself up a bit, look up (waiting to hear “1, 2, 3”..), then I see the flash and hurry up & smile last minute! The worker told me the picture looked “fine.” Okay, so I don’t sweat it. Then I get the print out and I’m like, “Oh, …I wasn’t ready..” I WASN’T EVEN SMILING!!! EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT ASHLEY SMILES!!!! :/ #Fail #WT* #WeAk!

I get to the car and call my twin sister to vent for a sec, but she couldn’t talk long. I was about to tear up in the car. I swear I wanted to burst out crying HAHA. So I call my mom, and we talked for a good minute! She felt my pain! Lol The rest of the day I shopped alone, and my mom helped calm me down 🙂 I HAD to remember that the worker DID apologize and NEXT TIME, I will have to be MORE VOCAL! This story has a moral to it – I have to learn to be more ASSERTIVE in certain situations! That’s my goal. 🙂 Lol Praise God. ….OMG I just relived that whole experience again HAHA but I’m fine 🙂

So there you have it! My fun facts of the month. I hope you enjoyed reading about my misery & pain as much as I did typing it!! Lol

Much Love & Happy Friday World – Love You Guys…MUAH!

“Wh-WhAt cHu kNoW A-boUT ME?!” (I made it a song, in my head.)

1. I auditioned for America’s Got Talent last weekend here in ATL. It was another lonnnng day guys. These TV show auditions are draining. Seriously. It’s a full work day. Lol! I warmed my voice up, had my outfit packed, did my make up, ate a “Chicago dog” lol, watched others perform in the waiting area, and FINALLY got to perform for one of the producers around 4:30PM! I sang & danced for this audition. It went well. The others in the room gave me a few compliments 🙂 We shall see if I make it to the celeb. judge round – NEXT YEAR! [They review tapes in January! lol] Keep ya fingers crossed.

AGT

2. I love to cook now. Kinda. lol I like to experiment! HAHA! I search recipes on the web and/or type in specific ingredients and see what photos pop up! HA! [Don’t judge me]. And yes, I STILL take pics of my food. Food is a beautiful thing. I love to get down ya’ll. Which reminds me, lunch time is approaching!!!..

3. My NAILS must be re-done every two weeks! I love color! I love making up my own designs! It’s exciting! I believe my hairstyles, make-up, and nails are all a reflection of me & my personality 🙂 …And no, I don’t go pay someone else to do them – PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT! 🙂 LolNails new

4. BABY HAIR  is a must. #BrushThatDown lol! [I apologize if I’m over the top today, I just feel good.] So, baby hair has always been apart of my life. If and when my hair is pinned up, it is imperative that the curls be brushed in a smooth wave pattern. [Take a look at Exhibit A above. Lol]

5. Since we are on the topic of cosmetology, why not finish off this last fact with my BROWS? This is something I pride myself on lol I’ve gotten so great at learning how to do them myself!! [I’m all about saving money if you guys haven’t noticed.] My eyebrows are the FIRST thing that I do when applying make up. They take me about 10-15min to complete. I get really anal about them. Lol

…..Lastly, I have a special announcement… *drum roll* ……..

AshleYYY Unplugged 3 will be Sunday, November 24th, 2013 – here in ATLANTA, GA — This will be my first big concert here in the A! Details coming soon — Please mark your calendars and stay tuned guys! 🙂

It’s time for FUN FACT FRIDAY! OW! =)

It’s the end of the month and time to give you 5 fun facts about myself!

1. I decided to STOP using HEAT on my hair for a while. I haven’t used my blow dryer in over a month! (I’m proud of myself guys lol!) I’ve been reading up on natural hair care tips & watching YouTube tutorials. It’s always fun to experiment with different hairstyles, all while learning how your hair works.

2. I have been chosen to be a FEATURED DANCER on a new dance show in Atlanta – It’s a mix between Soul Train and 106 n Park! The show is called, “THA MUSIC FACTORY” and will be airing on MyATL in a few weeks! I’ll keep you guys posted! 🙂

3. So I ate at PAPPADEAUX for the first time yesterday! Am I late? lol I had the Seafood Platter and the best part was the BLUE CRAB CAKE, because I think it was stuffed with DRESSING! I don’t know, whatever it was was good – despite how scary the shell looked.

4. My GUILTY PLEASURE – Watching The WENDY WILLIAMS Show. I think Wendy is hilarious! I love how honest she is. But I could never have her job because I feel certain things should be kept to yourself, so that you don’t offend others. But overall, she does her job VERY well – always entertaining! (I secretly want to be a guest. lol)

5. My FAVORITE RAP SONG out right now would have to be Lil Wayne ft. 2 Chainz “RICH AS F*@K.” lol Whenever it plays on the radio, I Turn. It. Up! I LOVE that beat … maybe I’ll do a cover for it?!

Well that’s all for now folks, have a BEAUTIFUL weekend!

It’s time for FUN FACT FRIDAY! OW! =)

1. I used to hate using TREADMILLS because they are stationary. I prefer to run outdoors for the scenery. But now I don’t mind using them during the cold months. Gotta keep it tight right? 

2. My favorite food to eat for BREAKFAST is pancakes. Mmmh, it’s like dessert in the morning time =)  …after running on the treadmill. Smh.

3. I joined FACEBOOK back in 2005 as a freshman in college. I liked that it was only for college students. But then it just became open to everyone like every other website at that time. Lol! I love it now though – I can stay connected with friends & family 🙂

4. The last REALITY SHOW I watched was Braxton Family Values. There are so many personalities on one set, they’re all entertainers & fabulous! I love them!

5. MCTS (Milwaukee County Transit System) was my BEST FRIEND back home in Milwaukee. It may be time to make new friends & get acquainted with MARTA (Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority). Eh.

Have a BEAUTIFUL weekend people! Smile. Laugh. & Be Nice.

Don’t forget to check out my NEW video So Beautiful HERE!
