Memphis, TN (March 2, 2010)--The Southern Entertainment Awards & Conference prepares for its 7th annual event and Memphis debut this weekend, March 4-7. Centered in the heart of downtown with panels, showcases and a fashion show at the Cook Convention Center (adjoined to the host hotel, the Downtown Marriott) and the Cannon Center, where the awards show will conclude the festivities, Sunday March 7th.

DJ's, publicists, promoters, artists, and graphic designers will gather in Memphis, TN to celebrate the independent entertainment culture of the South. The weekend will serve as a networking and educational platform and present new opportunities and venture for attendees. Conference goers will experience panels hosted by industry professionals, showcases of new and veteran acts, a benefit fashion show, and the most anticipated event...the coveted awards show.

The SEAs is a results-oriented weekend that aims to identify a void and subsequently create a solution. This year the SEAs have teamed up with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Tennessee to answer the health care call of action set by President Barack Obama. As one of the first opportunities of its kind, artists (visual and performing), and those whose primary work is in the entertainment industry, will be educated on the health insurance reform and plan options provided by Blue Cross Blue Shield.

Another partnership will be with Full Throttle Music. Full Throttle, a software and music store application for Android phones, which has a revolutionary and innovative design constructed to re-invent the way music is purchased and distributed. During the weekend, artists will be encouraged to upload music, for free or a small fee that will be instantly available to audiences anywhere in the world.

The weekend will conclude with the 7th annual awards show, hosted by Solo da Come Upp Kidd. Over 50 awards will be presented in categories for DJ's, promoters, artists, models, publicists, media outlets, and visual artists. There will be performances by Finess da Boss, Christelle, Malaki, Diablo, Drumma Boy & Drum Squad, Sparkdawg, Skai, and Big K.R.I.T, to name a few. The SEA's will also present Impact Awards to those who have impacted the music industry and the culture of the independent music scene. A special memorial tribute will be given in honor of the lives of Lil Buna and Victoria Smith, who unselfishly committed themselves to the entertainment community. Panels are free and open to the public. Tickets for the benefit fashion concert can be purchased at the door for $10, with a portion going to L.E.A.D. (Life Enrichment And Development). Tickets are still available for the awards show and can be purchased at www.ticketmaster.com for $30. Panels, showcases, and benefit fashion show will be held at the Cook Convention Center, 255 N.

The Arrival Mixtape 2 - Update #2 From Tasha S Of SheBloggin.com

When you’re a part of a team, you’re supposed to support one another in all of their endeavors, even if you don’t agree with it. You make suggestions on how they can improve, only because you have sincere hopes for their best. When one has something going on, you should do what you can to support on your end. Even if you think their individual project doesn’t involve you, it does because you’re a team; I win, you win.

In the last few months I’ve realized who is and who isn’t a real team member. People that I’ve supported in their projects and helped build their brand are now not returning that to me. I don’t mind doing things for free for people that I support. I do it because I want to help make them a success in any way that I can. I’m a REAL team player, and that takes being loyal. Last night I came to the conclusion that loyalty is a blessing and one of the most important traits to possess, but it can also bite you in the ass. LOYALTY= GIFT + THE CURSE. I pride myself on being loyal. I don’t give up on anything or anyone that I commit myself to. So unfortunately that means, even when someone isn’t loyal to me, I’m still down. I don’t have it in me to back away from my people even when they’ve backed away from me. I’m not a quitter; I will go hard for anyone that’s apart of my team, but I end up getting stepped on because I’ll still run with you, all while you’ve slowed down on me.

You aren’t supporting me right now. I’ve been there to help create and build your business, and brought new opportunities to you. All I ask is that you support me in this, and any of my future projects, as I would do for you and have done. Although you’re not being the team member you ought to, I still got love for you because of what we’ve built together and because of that, I will continue to do whatever you need me to do. I’m loyal to the depths; I’ll never back away from you just because my feelings are a little hurt right now. Besides, me continuing to bless you will in turn bless me 10 fold. This isn’t a diss, this is a message. You know who you are.

Shouts to the people that have stayed down with me! And shouts to a particular artist that has really been supportive and contributed the future success of this project. I truly appreciate you. :)

MJ To Buy The Charlotte Bobcats

He has been called the NBA's greatest player and one of the country's top pitchmen.

Now Michael Jordan is ready for a new title: NBA owner.

With minutes to go until his exclusive negotiating window was to expire, Jordan struck a deal late Friday night to buy controlling interest of the Charlotte Bobcats, putting the six-time NBA champion in charge of the money-losing team in his home state.

Owner Bob Johnson announced in a statement that he's agreed to sell the Bobcats to Jordan, who been a part-owner of since 2006. Jordan has been running the team's basketball operations.

The purchase price and details of Jordan's ownership group - called MJ Basketball Holdings LLC - weren't immediately available. A spokeswoman for Johnson and a spokesman for Jordan said neither man was available for comment early Saturday.

The league's owners must still approve the purchase.

Jordan was in competition with former Houston Rockets executive George Postolos, who also had an ownership group together to buy the team. But Postolos said Jordan had the exclusive.......

The Arrival Mixtape 2 - Update From Tasha S Of SheBloggin.com

I just ordered the first round of graphics for the promo campaign, shouts to Faazon!! I highly recommend him, he showed out on my first mixtape cover. It's looking like the mixtape will be released in April. I want plenty of time for the promo campaign, but more importantly I need plenty of time to prepare for the many other things coming along with the mixtape, including the DVD.

Yes, I will be doing a DVD along with the mixtape this go 'round. It will feature artist interviews, studio sessions, artist's performances, and footage of the promo trips we have planned (that will later be revealed). I have several other surprises in store that will be featured on the DVD too. I'm really excited about this. This is the first time I've ever done a project so big. I'm more excited for the artists that will be featured on the mixtape + DVD. This will be a platform for them to carry themselves to the next level. It's time for artists to not see themselves as just local artists, but more as upcoming artists. I want to help my community think outside of the box, so in order to do that I have to be an example. I encourage everyone to go beyond the norm, reach for more. In the end, you will receive more.
