The Simmons Sisters & Reid Bro's Being Interviewed

A Bit of the New Voices Tour Background

Just in case you have been out of the loop on one of the biggest /latest movements to keep music alive, let me enlighten you. Back in June the music industry’s generation next, Vanessa & Angela Simmons along with Antonio Jr. & Aaron Reid, launched what could possibly be the most promising resolution to bring back music’s authenticity…The New Voices Tour!

While it would have been more than simple to sit back and enjoy the compliments of being heirs to their families’ empires, this tenacious group of moguls in the making decided that they wanted more than simply being known as the sons and daughters of greats. For the Simmons sisters, this will mark the third lone venture, having already tapped into reality TV (Daddy’s Little Girls…spinoff of Run’s House) as well as fashion (Their very own shoe/clothing/lifestyle brand “Pastry”…look out for their new line “Box Of Chocolates” coming soon).  As for the Reid bro’s, it was only a matter of time before they walked down the path of their father’s footsteps. Together they have been on the move to continue their families’ legacy with the New Voices Tour, and by the looks of things…so far, so good.

Fly Gypsy

Since their introduction to the industry, Fly Gypsy, Jamaican-born emcee Kom Plex and Russian-born producer/one man band Alexei have gotten airtime on VH1 Soul and MTVu, as well as national and international recognition for their unique brand of Hip-Hop. Now that the band has a very successful album “Change For a Dollar” and mixtape “The Vodka & Rum Mixtape” under their belt, they are making sure their new project makes just as much noise.

The Glit got the chance to hang out with Fly Gypsy as they promote their new mixtape, which has yet to be titled. We caught up with the duo on Sunday at the Atlas Theatre, and got a chance to witness another one of their awesome shows. Because the guys hit the ground running when their first album dropped, they weren’t able to nurture their DC audience the way they wanted to, but this time around they are making sure their DC fans are ready—with ears wide open—for their soon-coming mixtape, slated to drop March 16^th. The “Remix Kings” as we dubbed them, have been getting a lot of positive feedback about their recent remixes, including Robin Thicke’s “Sex Therapy,” “Wale’s Pretty Girls”, and their latest, David Guetta and Akons’s “Sexy Bitch”, to name a few. “We actually taking songs and making them better in our opinion, our humble opinion. Alexei touched up the production and I like flipped some of the concepts completely,” explains Kom Plex.

Although many would categorize Kom Plex as just a rapper, he would beg to differ. The emcee clarifies that he has never set aside his first love; spoken word. “I still haven’t transitioned to rap. I do both, says Kom Plex. He goes on to explain that “poetry for me is very different than hip-hop. There are a lot of people who slow down their rhymes and call them poems, but I actually write poetry. It’s like the same language but a different dialect”.

Fly Gypsy has definitely been leaving their stamp in various locations worldwide and continues to expand their brand even further.

Recently, the duo shot the video for their “I Wanna Rock (Brooklyn)” remix in NYC. Check out the new video which was released on Tuesday!

Chef Michael M. teams with fellow culinary craftsmen, media personalities and performing artists to present SWEET CHARITY! “Pastry Tasting for Charity”.

New York City – October 27, 2009 - Comfort Zone Cooking Service’s commitment to providing delicious “North Meets South Cuisine” and organizing charitable food events, just got sweeter. This time Chef Michael M., owner of Comfort Zone Cooking, will continue his movement with a star studded red carpet affair. CZC presents its next event, SWEET CHARITY {Pastry Tasting for Charity}, November 22, 2009 from 6:00pm – 12:00am.  This night of philanthropy will be held at 137 Duane St Loft in Tribeca—the former multi-million dollar loft of rap mogul and co-founder of Roc-A-Fella Records, Damon Dash. An admission price of $25, nonperishable food items, and all other donations will go to Food Bank For New York City.

“In a time of job loss and recession, people are stepping out on faith to pursue their own business ventures and follow their destiny,” says Chef Michael M. His strong concern for the community helped evoke his vision, which was to create a platform to support local businesses and collaborate with other influential community figures to ease the pain of struggling New Yorkers in this desperate time of need. This event will feature local pastry chefs—giving individuals an opportunity to taste an array of sweets just in time to plan their holiday dinners and parties.

Sweet Charity embodies a taste of fashion, a taste of art, and a taste of culture.  The event will premiere new products and feature live music, visual and spoken word, still life and much more.  This mixing pot will undeniably be the most sustainable, tangible, and substantial hopeful charity event that New York City has seen in a long time. Since word got out about this event sponsors have been eager to dig in for a good cause. Some of our co-sponsors and contributors include nationally syndicated, Initiative Radio with Angela McKenzie, talk show host, life and small business coach, Consultant Cory George, and one of New York City’s extraordinary online publication’s “UnVogue Magazine”.

We invite you to partake in this charitable effort to help raise food and money for Food Bank For New York City.

Food Bank For New York City is a charity that works to end hunger; while raising much needed resources for the 1.3 million New Yorkers who rely on food pantries and soup kitchens to meet their daily nutritional needs. In doing so they are increasing access to affordable, nutritious food for low-income New Yorkers through a comprehensive group of programs such as direct services, food sourcing and distribution; also nutrition and health education that combats hunger and its causes.
