Flashback to the jheri curls, rainbow-plastic bangles, door-knocker
earrings, acid-wash jeans, and Members Only snap-collar jackets. On Saturday (December 8), Ms. Marty Mcfly, a.k.a. Keri Hilson of Timbaland’s Zone
4/Mosley Music Group, took it all the way “back to the future” for her
'80s flashback birthday bash hosted by Polow Da Don.
Keri took center stage at the event, channeling her inner Michael
Jackson, while rocking the traditional spandex garb underneath a Members
Only jacket. Polow Da Don, Cee-Lo, Jazzy Pha, Young Jeezy, Nelly,
Jermaine Dupri, Johnta Austin, Bone Crusher, Diamond (formerly
of Crime Mob), Jlack, Bobby Valentino, Jagged Edge, and Chamillionaire
were all in the building showing their love and support for Hilson.
Hilson, who has written songs for Ciara, Usher, Chris Brown and Justin
Timberlake, among others, became a household face after her appearance
on Timbaland’s summer banger “The Way I Are.”
Polow Da Don hosted the bash, and he a lot to say about his impact on
the industry in 2007, as well as working with Keri.
“I’d describe Keri as an artist just like I’d describe her as a person,”
Polow, who wore a green track-suit, said, “as being beautiful,
passionate, and very sincere.”
“Like I said in the beginning of ‘07, I’m going to bring good music
back. Right now music is great, and I think I started it off. I took a
chance on doing real music, when not-so-real music was winning,” he added.
As a parting gift, Keri and her people handed out bootleg mixes on
cassette - but unlike those once-beloved tapes, Keri Hilson’s musical
life is just beginning.

I had a chance to go to this party this past Sunday in Atlanta and it was off the chain. Hey! Ya'll remember the group Blaque who did the song "808" and was in that movie Bring It On? The ones that look like TLC's little sisters? Well they rocked the party! They're making a reality show and they were there filming with their cameras and stuff. Somebody said that they are going to be living in T-Boz's house on the show. That should be cool. Anyway, the ladies looked great! They have a new CD coming out next year and I hear Timbaland's doing a lot of their stuff. That's going to be HOT!!! Can't wait to see the show, guys. Keep up the good work!
By the way, has anyone else heard about this and if so, what network will it be on?
