.






















ATLANTA GA, September 15, 2008 --For many years, V-103 has put on the phenomenal family expo called, "For Sisters Only" that targets women and their families. The expo reaches over 50,000 consumers and other business owners in the community for the two day weekend. For the past 15 years this 2-day marketing event has attracted more than 250,000 African American shoppers that involve celebrity entertainment, cultural enrichment, informational seminars and family fun every year. Also many artists have participated in the event such as Usher, Destiny's Child, Johnny Gil, Mary Mary, Wyclif, Musiq Soulchild, Mario, Keith Sweat, Cameo, late Gerald Levert, Frankie Beverly and Maze, just to name a few.

This holiday season, It's Cool To Be Smart will introduce their new book series, called "Saving Our Daughters" From a Man's Point of View and will feature 6 leading African American Men in Film, Television, Sports and Music; one of these men will be T.I. and the organizations sponsor and spokesperson for the past 5 years. It was a very special September 13th weekend at this years' event because of the support from V-103's Producer, of The Porsche Foxx Show, Tequilla Whitfield. Tequilla had joined It's Cool To Be Smart and the new book series' efforts to help support and uplift single parent mothers and their daughters in the black community. "I read the first two chapters of Saving Our Daughters and was truly touched by the mother and co-author's quest of overcoming horrific acts in their life", stated Tequilla.

Tequilla and V-103 blessed these two remarkable women with tickets to attend the event for the September 13th weekend along with arranging up an an up/close conversation with T.I., who personally thanked the mother, co-author and writer Karen Watts, for the opportunity to participate in the book to inspire single parent mothers and their daughters.

T.I. has always been in support of single parent mothers and their children with past scholarships and sponsorships for these families to attend recreation centers during the summer and help in college aid.

WARNING DONT SALE DOPE

From BallerStatus.com -- BMF (Black Mafia Family) founders and brothers, Terry "Southwest T" and Demetrius "Big Meech" Flenory, were sentenced to 30 years in prison on Friday (September 12) for running a large scale nationwide cocaine trafficking ring, reports the Detroit Free Press.

The brothers pleaded guilty last year to heading a continuing criminal enterprise, which trafficked large volumes of cocaine throughout the nation from 1990 through 2005.

Their organization generated hundreds of millions of dollars during that time period, affording them luxurious homes, cars, boats, and jewelry. Some of their money was filtered through legitimate business such as BMF Entertainment, a record label who released music from artists such as Bleu DaVinci (who himself was indicted on drug conspiracy charges).

Under terms of a plea bargain, the brothers agreed to forfeit $270 million to the government.

BMF began in the early 1990s in Detroit, authorities said, and eventually extended their activities to Missouri, Kentucky, Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, California and Texas -- using vehicles equipped with hidden compartments to transport cocaine and cash.

65 people have been indicted in the BMF case, most of which have pleaded guilty and half have been sentenced, the U.S. Attorney's Office told the paper.

In massive seizures in the case, the government has taken more than $19 million in assets from ring members -- including 13 homes, 35 vehicles, over $5 million in cash, and millions of dollars worth of jewelry.

One of the best-known defendants in the case was famed jeweler Jacob Arabov (aka Jacob The Jeweler) who, back in June, was sentenced to 2 1/2 years in prison, and fined $50,000 for lying to federal agents investigating the drug ring. He was originally arrested for conspiring to launder money for the BMF.
