How are you Bronchey?
I'm doing pretty good. And yourself?
When did you start writing?
I first started writing when I was about thirteen to give myself a release of emotions. Writing has also been a solace for me when I was having trouble.
Your first novel for blackurbanbooks.net is called, Billionaire Boyz, give us a quick synopsis.
"Chasing women and money is all Semaj ever knew. From sleeping with rich white women to millionaires of Fortune Five Hundred Companies. He feels like life couldnt be any better until he's put in a serious predicament and has to find a trick for a quick come up. His yunger brother Zioni has it all. Money, respect, and all the women he could ever want.When Zioni falls for the woman Semaj feels could potentially be the woman her'd give up the game for, he begans plotting against his brother on his ultimate quest to get her.
Semaj resorts to desperate measures to steal Saniya away from Zioni. When Saniya doesnt sleep with him he begans blackmailing her to get her to himself. When the truth comes out, an unexpected twist will have everyone on the edge of their seats.
There's a reason why both Semaj's parents are six feet under and Zioni's father is in prison.

BLACKS IN TECH: ANTHONY FRAISER OF PLAYD.IT..IS CHANGING THE WAY WE "PLAY" GAMES

When did you start your site?
We started developing Playd in June of 2011.
How did you get the idea?
I formed the idea with my co founder Alex Galkin after realizing there was no way for gamers to share their experiences across multiple platforms. There were apps out that allowed you to track what games you played, but you got nothing out of it. We aim to make it a fun experience to share what your playing, and we want to also reward you for doing so. Another problem we aimed to solve was better engagement between game publishers and gamers. The old way of traditional advertising is over. People want more interactivity around the brands they love.

Basketball Wives Cover Jet Magazine & More
So the lovely ladies of "Basketball Wives L.A." are gracing the October issue of Jet magazine. Well, at least three of them are. The three that create the most drama on the show anyways....which are Laura and Gloria Govan and Draya Michelle. The new issue of Jet will be on newsstands everywhere on October 3rd.
And if you missed out on last night's episode of "Basketball Wives L.A.", let me tell you that you missed out on a lot. For starters, Jackie Christie and Draya had a lunch date and Jackie asked Draya about her not attending the wedding. Then Jackie got upset when Draya told her she didn't feel welcomed because of what Malaysia told her. So you know Jackie will be approaching Malaysia at some point about all of this real soon.
Then Laura Govan gets a call from someone who tells her that Draya is badmouthing her and her kids! Now that in itself is cause for an ass whooping, but instead of asking Draya about what was told to her, they fight it out in an MMA ring. In fact, Laura was soo wound up that a couple of refs had to rush into the ring to break up the fight. Talk about drama right?! All I know.....is that I can't wait for next week's episode because these chicks are off the chain!! But I did have one question for you guys. Why isn't Kimsha Artest on any of the episodes? Is she that boring? Last I checked Queens chicks were the bomb.com! ;-)
Anywho, for those who missed out on the drama filled episode, you can check it out below when you click on the "Read More" button:

The Reason Why Funk Master Flex Never Came Back At Power 105
So last night I received a bit of information that kind of blew my mind. So let me break it down to you from the beginning so you understand. When the whole Mister Cee scandal broke loose it was no secret that Power 105's own, Charlamagne Tha God, had it in for Mister Cee PAUSE! Words were said and as we all know, Funk Master Flex came to Mister Cee's defense. If you don't remember the rant that Funk Master Flex had on Hot 97 then click (here).
Now, Power 105's "The Breakfast Club" did not back down from Funk Master Flex's rant as Charlamagne Tha God (the very next day) repeatedly stated that Flex did not want to take it there with them. After all was said and done and the rumors died down, Flex didn't mention anything else about "The Breakfast Club". Want to know why? Then click on the "Read More" button to find out below:

Meagan Good Has A Sextape?
Oh my God!! I hope this is all a hoax! I'm at a loss for words, but hopefully there will be some light at the end of this tunnel. It seems that there is a nude photo of Meagan Good floating around the internet and word is, there's a sex tape to follow!!
However, with all of the creative things folks can do with photoshop these days, I wouldn't be surprised if the picture was indeed a fake. So until Meagan Good says otherwise, I'm going to say this is all a hoax. (And this has nothing to do with me being a fan) I just don't think this kind of behavior is in her character. But if you're still interested in checking out the nude photo that's floating around the internet then click on the "Read More" button at your own risk! NSFW:

Rockland County D.A. Announces Sentencing of Four Locals
By Alicia Cruz
The Black Urban Times
Rockland County District Attorney announced the sentencing of the following defendants Wednesday:
Marquise Henderson, of 52 Temple Lane, in Suffern, New York was sentenced to nine months in the Rockland County Jail after pleaded guilty in August 2010 to one count of aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle.
District Attorney Thomas P. Zugibe stated that in May 2010 at 4:43 a.m. police found Henderson driving a car while intoxicated and while his driving privileges were suspended in the State of New York. Henderson, 25, was considered a habitual offender having racked up a total of seven driving suspensions. In addition to the jail sentence, Judge Charles Apotheker added a $500 fine, a $80 court surcharge and ordered Henderson to install an ignition interlock device on any vehicle he purchases or operates for a period of one year following his jail sentence.
William B. James, of Inwood, New York was sentenced to 1 to 3 years in State prison following a guilty plea in June 2011 to fourth-degree criminal possession of stolen property.
According to the press release, the 56-year-old Bayview Avenue man was stopped by police in February 2011 for a vehicle and traffic violation in West Nyack. A subsequent search led to the discovery of several stolen credit credits.
A Highland Falls man learned he will spend the next six years in a New York State Prison following a guilty plea to first-degree attempted robbery, said Zugibe.
Police say 20-year-old Ryan Hayes, of 58 Laurel Road tried to rob a TD bank teller of $3,000 after handing her a note claiming to have a pistol and threatening to shoot if his demands were not met. Hayes targeted the TD branch located at 82 South Liberty Drive in Stony Point on May 10, 2010. Judge Apotheker also ordered the would-be bank thief to 2 ½ years post release supervision.
A welfare check of a vehicle driven by Carlos Caraballo in July 2010 led to the discovery of 30 grams of cocaine, said Zugibe. Caraballo and his passenger were stopped on Interstate 87 near Sloatsburg when police found the narcotics. The 33-year-old Rochester man copped a guilty plea in to attempted criminal possession of a controlled substance in May 2011. Judge Apotheker sentenced Caraballo to one year and six months in State Prison and one year and six months of post release supervision.
