It's been 3 years since I released my last album Girl Talk 2007. For those who don't have any of my albums, I wanted to show you who I am now and where I came from. But I'm ready to come back again. I had a season of learning, pain, crying and growth that I had to go through. But I'm coming back stronger and more sure of myself and confident. So get ready for my new album Emotional coming 2011...stay tuned. The previous posts are stories and footage from 2004 that led me to where I am today in Dec 2010. There's so much footage from Mega Fest, The Dirty Awards Performace in ATL, and more that's missing...but I'm sure you'll get the point.
It's not in order but it's a part of my story. Thank you and much love to all my fans who've been holding me down. If you're curious to know why my next album is R&B, go read the post about me and Kelly Rowland. Click on January's posts...
I just wanna take you on a journey from how I got to where I am now. It's almost 2011 and I'm working on my fourth album. But, this show is a part of story. This was about 3 or 4 years ago. They say you can take a person out of the hood but you can't take the hood out of a person.lol It's nothing like being able to be yourself without feeling judged....especially on stage. You do have to learn how to conduct yourself and play the game in certain environments though. You have to turn on that corporate face some places and some places you can be you. There is a saying that says go where you are celebrated and not where you are tolerated. I was celebrated in the Holy Hip Hop community and I really appreciate it. Holy Hip Hop is not very popular when it comes to "gospel." Some old heads and some young heads just weren't feeling it and still don't. Sometimes you can't go where the path may lead, you have to go where there is no path and leave a trail. That's what they did with the Holy Hip Hop Genre. So the Holy Hip Hop fans showed me a lot of love. They have the Holy Hip Hop Awards in ATL every January. I had been there twice but God blessed me to be able to win a Holy Hip Hop Award and I performed that day as well.
Check out one of my fav memories performing at the Holy Hip Hop Awards here.
I was going through youtube one day and found these guys dancing to one of my songs "I'm Going Home" off of my second album "The Lita Mae Show."
I'm Going Home is a song about a wife who allowed an emotional affair to steer her away from her husband and she left him. Even though she left with this other man, her heart was still with her husband. Conviction was so strong on her that she decides to go back home to her husband, her first love.
Check out "Jadson Jone-JHH" Dancing To it and listen to the full song under it.......
It's always exciting to travel to different cities and perform. This show was in Miami, Florida. I love it in Miami. The reason that this show is so special is because it was my first time being on one of TBN's biggest programs JCTV called YOUTH IMPACT TV. I did this show in 2005. Even though this clip is rather embarassing because I was big Shei..lol, I do understand that it was years ago and it was very significant to me. It's still a part of my story and journey to the top and I'm grateful for it.
Check Big Shei out singing "Temptation" on Youth Impact TV......
Street Flava is one of the Hottest Video Shows in Houston. OMG!!! I'll NEVER forget the day I walked in to do the interview. The show comes on UPN Channel 20 so that was huge for me to interview with D Solo. I did an interview and they played my video "I Got Shot."
Check out a clip of the interview from Street Flava....another one of my fav memories in my singing career....
In 2007, the summer before "Girl Talk" came out, God Blessed me to go on the Russ Parr Bus Tour with Lil Mama, Cupid, Mario, Yung Berg, B-Five, The Alliance, and many more. I had a great time on that tour.
Check out another one of my fav memories in my career in Louisville, Kentucky performing "J-Walk....."
"I Got Shot" is one of those life songs and yes it is a true story. I told you I sing about the real.lol To make it short I was 13 years old and I got shot because of my disobedience to my mama. She told me I couldn't go to these certain apartments anymore because I kissed a boy over there and she found out.lol
Word on the street was there was a party over there in the apartments and me and my friends went to a lot of parties. I had to get to this party...so I got sneaky with it. I came up with a plan to spend the night at a friends house who's mama said she could go to the party. We would leave and go to the party once my mama dropped me off. It was really like a sleepover party so we spent the night over there. Well everything was cool until the day after the party. Me,and a couple of friends were walking to the store along with the guy who had the gun. He was saying there weren't any bullets in the gun and wanted to play Rush and Roulette. I was like "Hell No". I was walking a little bit ahead of the group. I remember him putting the gun to my friends arm and clicking it but it didn't go off.
All I know is I'm walking ahead of them and I hear this loud bang. Lo and behold!!! That bullet hit me in my upper back. Needless to say, I was taken to the hospital. All I could think about was the fact that my mama told me not to go but I didn't listen. She was 9 months pregnant with my little sister. What news to hear at 9 months pregnant. She rushed up there and thank God I was ok. My family came to see me. God spared me. The bullet didn't hit any vital organs. It hit a bone in my upper back and came out. When I got home I found the bullet in my left front pocket. Yes...I really did. To me that was God's way of telling me he kept me for a reason and don't let it happen no more.lol
After the news sank in to my dad that his daughter had got shot, he got to thinking about that thang. He called that night ready to kill.lol We had to calm him down and let him know if I hadn't been over there, it would have never happened.

Even though I eat healthy..this will never change.lol I'm a house cat and a very laid back person who loves to conversate and give advice.
