This season of 'Sisterhood of Hip Hop' was by far one of the best seasons. Nyemiah Supreme and Bia who were casted on seasons one and two were not present on the third season. This season consisted of the originals Siya, Brianna Perry and Diamond with two new faces Lee Mazin and Audra the rapper added to the cast. Diamond who started out in the beginning of the season unfortunately, went AWOL, but the remaining female rappers managed to pulled off a successful season without her presence.

On the season 3 finale of 'Sisterhood of Hip Hop' MC Lyte invited all the ladies to perform at her show. She also selected Lee Mazin as the winner to perform with her on her single "The Remix". Of all three seasons noone has been able to do what Lee Mazin has done. She may have been a newbie to the show but she has accomplished a lot in a short amount of time. She has proven that she has what it takes to go to the top.

Check out MC Lyte and Lee Mazin as they perform "The Remix" below:

Before the main event the ladies couldn't decide on who should go first which caused and unnecessary conflict between Brianna and Audra. Brianna felt one of the new girls should go first but Audra disagreed. Lee Mazin felt since she won the competition that she should not go first. So to keep down all the commotion Siya took the initiative to take the lead. Following each individual performance MC Lyte and Lee Mazin graced the stage.

In other news viewers of the Oxygen reality show are wondering if there will be a season 4 of the hip hop series. 'Sisterhood of Hip Hop' executive produced by rapper and actor T.I. aka Tip debuted in August 2014. Rather there will be or won't be a season 4 is yet to be determined.

This week on 'Love & Hip Hop Hollywood' Brandi tries to make amends with Max B, A1 tries to get his mom and Lyrica's mom to settle their differences before their wedding. Nikki shows off her new boo and Masika and Fetty Wap welcome their baby girl.

After finding out his wife, Brandi spent their son's money on a boutique Max decided to be absent from home for a while. Brandi went down to the strip club to try to make things right and to ask for forgiveness. Max played hard to get knowing how Brandi would react and she did just that. There's never a dull moment when it comes to Brandi. She keeps us entertained.

Lyrica mother Lyrica

Masika having her baby was just one of the highlights of Monday night's episode of 'Love & Hip Hop Hollywood'. The top highlight of the night was when things almost got physical between A1's mother Pam and Lyrica's mother Lyrica. A1 thought he was doing an honorable thing by bringing Pam and Lyrica together but things turned sour real quick.

When the two first met Lyrica questioned why Pam was still living with her son and Lyrica. Pam let her know that where she stay and how long she stay is none of her business. Things escalated from there. Later on when they met up again this time with Lyrica and A1, Lyrica threw a drink at Pam. Security stepped in just in time before the claws came out between these two mama's.

Masika and Fetty Wap welcome baby girl

Earlier in the show Fetty Wap came down to see Masika before she had the baby. He promised her he would be there to help her raise their daughter. On the day of delivery Masika delivered a healthy baby girl and yes, Mr. Wap was at the hospital. If Fetty didn't show up Masika still would not have been alone with her family there to support her.

Nikki Baby is definitely living up to her name. She is showing the world that you can have the best of both worlds and live happy in the moment. Not only did she spend some time with Safaree at the beach where he kissed her on her left butt cheek, she also introduced her new boo to the mix, who happened to be a female. We already know how Safaree is going to react then he finds out but the question is, will Nikki say yes?

Stay tuned for more episode of 'Love & HIp Hop Hollywood' Mondays on Vh1!

Although it was a special day for Lee she took the time out to talk to express her feelings towards her father. She revealed that she would be staying there while she pursues her music career. Since Lee has been in LA she has made some big moves in a short amount of time. With that being said she appears to be on the right track.

On the other side of things Tank invited Siya to go on tour with him. She had a rough start during rehearsals and ended up walking out due to frustration. However, when the time came for her to perform their single "BDAY" she rocked it out. 

With Diamond still missing in action, she was also missing out on being on one of MC Lyte tracks. Siya, Brianna Perry, Lee Mazin and Audra all went hard in the booth. MC Lyte was impressed but who is going to be the chosen one to get that spot? Siya had a few hiccups but once she laid it down, she went from being last to coming in at number one. They all did a good job but there can only be one. It's going to be between Siya and Lee Mazin? What yall think?

Stay tuned for the finale of 'Sisterhood of Hip Hop' next Tuesday on Oxygen!

'Power' Episode 8: "Trust Me"

Photo by Google Images

While this episode of 'Power' is called "Trust Me" the role of the key players have shown that you can't trust no one, not even your right hand man. Following Tommy's brutal beat down by Milan's crew he became Milan's puppet unbeknownst to Ghost. Tasha portrays recklessness by putting Lakeisha in danger while Angela become vulnerable to Greg. Kanan is out for revenge so he goes after his own kin.

Ever since Milan introduced himself to Ghost he's been quite busy with eliminating anyone who is feels is a threat to his business. On the previous episode of 'Power' he showed up at Tasha's home unannounced for dinner basically to remind Ghost that if he doesn't comply to his demands his family is good as dead. This week he showed up at Lakeisha's beauty salon unannounced thinking Tasha was alone. While Lakeisha was eavesdropping she accidentally knocked down some items on the floor which caught Milan's attention. Tasha tried to come up with a story for Milan's sudden visit but Lakeisha already knew what time it was. She wanted Tasha to get out but Tasha pleaded with her to stay. Tasha tried to pay her bestie off with hush money but unfortunately, she didn't get a chance to enjoy it thanks to Tommy who reacted on Milan's orders.

During a meeting with all the big time drug dealers Tommy introduced a new product to sell and they weren't happy with the fact that they had to pay their money up front. Most of them objected to the new order but when the Mr. Woo was stabbed to death by one of Milan's men, after he called Tommy out on killing his son, there were no other objections. 

Angela who claims to no longer want to have anything to do with Jamie, showed up at Tasha's looking for information on Tommy's whereabouts when Lobos got shot. Tasha told her that Tommy was with his mother. Of course, Angela went to visit Tommy's mother and she confirmed his fake alibi. She then ran to Greg to show him video footage of Ghost being with Tasha during the murder. Later on she and Greg had an intimate session. Getting Angela in bed was apart of Greg's plan to bring Angela and Ghost down at the same time.

When it was all said and done Ghost was so busy trying to keep up with the new changes that he forgot about his son, Tariq. Dre who was told to look after Tariq took him to the gym to play basketball where Kanan just showed up out of the blue. He took over Dre's responsibility to become closer to Tariq. His plan was to kill his nephew but when he said he hated his dad that was music to Kanan's ears. Meanwhile Ghost found out the one man he thought he could trust was working with Milan behind his back.

So what now? Ghost has no one left but Tasha. Hopefully, he tells her about Tommy so she can stop confiding in him about Ghost. That's all he needs is for his wife to turn against him. Is Lakeisha really dead? How far will Angela go to save herself or will she go the extra mile to save Ghost. Angela is in too deep there's no escape now!

Stay tuned for the final two episodes of 'Power' on Starz Sunday night.

CBS: Big Brother 18: "Will Paul Win POV, Who Will Be Replaced?"

Last week on 'Big Brother' Nicole won Head of Household and Victor who was evicted twice returned for a third time.

As HOH it was Nicole's duty to put up two nominees. Ultimately, she chose Paul and Michelle. Paul has had a target on his back for a long time and according to his roommates his time is up, or is it?

If Paul wins the Power of Veto competition he will pull himself off, no doubt about it. So who will be his replacement? It's a possibility that since Victor has had three chances to enter the game that they now want him out for good.

Victor has been one lucky player in this season of 'Big Brother'. Many viewers feel Victor has been in the game too many times. When he was first evicted he played in the first battle of the block and won. The second time he entered the game was when he was the last evicted player standing in the previous HOH competition. Victor has also won POV and HOH since he's been back in the game. 

If neither Paul nor Michelle wins the POV will whomever wins save one of them or leave the nominees as they are? Who do you think should win POV? Are you ready to see Paul go home? If Victor gets put up on the block you better believe he will be giving it all he's got to win the next POV. If Paul wins and saves himself the rest of the house guests better watch out because he's coming for all of them with the exception of Vic!

Sisterhood of Hip Hop 3: "Lee Mazin Debuts New Video Featuring Brianna"

Photo by Google Images

This week on 'Sisterhood of Hip Hop' Lee Mazin debuted her latest video to the hot single "T.O.B." featuring Brianna Perry. The song was catchy and the execution of the video was on point.  Lee and Brianna delivered something to the viewers that some of the cast of 'Love and Hip Hop' have not been able to bring. Maybe this will motivate the so-called aspiring female artists to step their game up.

Meanwhile while Lee is making progress in her rap career, Brianna is not where she need to be. She clashed with her label and was mad at her mom/manager for taking his side and not hers. She was also dealing with the loss of her uncle which caused her to lose focus during the video shoot with Lee. Brianna finally came to the ocnclusion that she needed to talk about her uncle and speak to her mother following her conversation with Lee. later on she expressed her feelings to her mother and went to visit her uncles grave.

Check out the video to "T.O.B.": The two female rappers also performed the song during rapper Trina's show.

Since Lee has been in LA she feels like she's in the right place but wants her manager Shantel to step her game up. She wanted to build a team so she brought in Charlie Mack who has worked with rapper Yazz who plays Hakeem on the Fox drama series 'Empire'. At first Shantel was hesitant to work with Charlie but she later gave in so Lee can get what she needs to continue ot move forward. 

While Siya struggled with forming a relationship with her father who is incarcerated, her mission to get a distributor for her music finally came through. On top of that music producer Irv Gotti agreed to work with her on a track. 

With Diamond missing in action one of the remaining four female rappers will have a chance to be featured on one of MC Lyte tracks. Which one of these artists will impress Lyte the most? Will it be Siya, Lee Mazin, Brianna or Audra? Who do you think will win this competition?

BET: One Shot Charlotte, North Carolina: Lady Ki Rips The Mic

Photo by Google Images

On the second episode of 'One Shot' hip hop artists from Charlotte, North Carolina were given their one chance to show their talents. 

There were six artists chosen to perform including Three, Leesha, Lady Ki, Milly Boy, Krome and Regalado. The judges Mike Smith, King Tech, King Crooked and guest judge RZA had a very difficult decision to make when it came to these aspiring artists.

Leesha Baby and Lady Ki both impressed the judges but which is the most marketable was the question? Leesha had the full package while all Lady Ki needed was to be herself. Between the fellas it was a no brainer. Krome threw some spanish flavor in the mix but it wasn't enough. Three was just the epitome of what a male rapper should be. 


Each artist brought something different to the stage. They had creative hooks and some had phenomenal word play. Following the deliberation between Sway and the initial judges Three and Lady Ki were chosen as the Charlotte semi-finalists.

Was Three and Lady Ki the right choice? These two artists were unique and one of a kind. Watch out New York!
