Monica’s two sons celebrated their birthday together early this month.  The Starfire Group  and The Garner Circle PR, produced the extravagant celebration, that took place at Red Carpet Lanes. Family and friends came out in numbers for an afternoon of bowling, fun, and food.

The celebration also brought out Jermaine Dupri, Daniel Wilcox, Derick Blanks, Rock City and many more of Atlanta’s music community that has been with Monica since her beginnings.

Many people were asking why the two boys celebrated their birthday together, well after Lil Rocko repeatedly asked his mom if he could have his party with his little brother, she finally agreed to it. We all know Mama’s have no choice but to give in after looking at their little ones face…  And Lil Roc Knows he know how to make his mama heart melt… LOL

Yesterday was a big day for my big sis she did “106 & Park” to promote her new show still standing. The premiere of Monica’s new reality show aired last night immediately following the BET Hip Hop Awards and we are so glad to see that it was drama free. This first episode brought us into her life and captured her in her element working with producer Bryan-Michael Cox to choose the perfect single to kick off her upcoming album.

Viewers can look forward to seeing Monica balance her family life along with recording her fifth studio album not to mention raising those two adorable little boys of hers. She plans to show that even through the most difficult times hard work, faith and perseverance can carry you through anything. The chart topping R&B recording artist hesitated at first to allow such an up close and personal look into her life but decided that her story could be used to inspire those who tuned in.

“It was very scary stepping into the type of situation that would expose me and my life,” said Monica. “But I think that there are so many kids now that are aspiring to do exactly what I’ve done and I felt like that was worth me putting myself on the line so they would really understand what it’s like to try and juggle both a music career and personal life.”

Can’t wait to see what’s in store! I’m so happy to finally see a positive light being shined on the black community. Tune in to BET every Tuesday at 10/9c to watch Monica: Still Standing. I have to say that I am kinda pissed after finding out that Mo will only have 10 songs on her album… so please send that label notes letting them know that we need more songs …

Please feel free to express your true opinion on the show!
