Omega talent hunt is Little Rick from pane C5 North Forsyth became the breeding ground for Rick and his fellow emcees to create ideas as well as harvest some heat makers that would get them started. Glue, a witty Caucasian who doesn't make apologies for his skin color, demands respect as he sticks to his name by sticking to beats and riding instrumentals like transportation. Meanwhile, the laid-back, quiet swagger of Billionz is enough to round out a solid three-man group ready to take on anyone. Glue remembers high school being a time when they were not only the most talented but also the few to appreciate what they were try ing to accomplish. "We were the only people who got along that (weren't) hating on each other," Glue said. Rick describes their early partnership as "writing verses and passing them back (and forth), finding out we (were) the hottest," he said. From that point on they began recording together. "For about a year and a half, we were paying and pay ing, (then) we met some dudes who started paying for our time. They thought we were hot," Rick said. The group soon tired of having to pay for studio time, so the group built one of its own complete with all of the recording equipment neces sary for laying down lyrics. Southside Studio, which has been up and running for more than a year now. is home to thousands of tracks, released, and unreleased. Their latest heavy hitter is called "Destroy and Rebuild" with the group DDE. "(We) just said bump that, we want our own studio, and (we) built this joint," Rick said with satisfaction. Not only did they build Southside out of their own pockets, but they have shot three videos and they plan to launch an independent label in the future with Rodo's guidance. Rodo throws parties and gets them booked in clubs and as opening acts. So far. Little Rick has headlined the group in a Nelly/St. Lunatic type fashion, opening for Dis turbing the Peace, 50 Cent back in D.C., Jay-Z at Super Jam 2001, Juelz Santana, and T.I. at the Matrix here in Win ston-Salem. Solo projects are also in the works for each of the group members. Little Rick's will be out first, called "Almost Famous." Ill Spittaz managed to catch the ears and attention of the Beat gods, a group of pro ducers from Philadelphia, who discovered 111 Spittaz music online. As far as nation al recognition. Rick says they don't want to be classified as Dirty South or East Coast. They believe they can hold their own in any sub-genre of rap. "We don't want to be cate gorized as Down South or Up North, club or gangster," he said emphatically. "(North Carolina) got so many styles. We're not that (Deep) South, nor that Up North sounding." said Rick. The graphic design student at Winston-Salem State Uni versity is also the proud father of 3-year-old Jerimiah. Rick, who will graduate in Decem ber 2005. has started a music promotions company with III Spittaz called EyeAm Inc., which allows them to work with other local aspiring artists. Rodo' sums up their efforts best when describing their independent label aspirations called Tunnel Vision. "It's positive; our focus is positive. Tunnel vision, it has meaning. When you're in a tunnel, what's around you? Nothing but forward ness... We in the dark, but we gon' see the light." said Rodo about his expectations for the future. looking for contestants Start preparing now for the Palladium Omega Psi Phi Talent Contest.

Pfafftown Youth Achievers end year with two projects SPECIAL TO THK CHRONICLE Pfafftown Youth Achievers of the National Women of Achieve ment closed their 2004 year with two successful projects: Adopt a Family Thanksgiving Project and Project Social Graces. Each proj ect brought great joy to partici pants and to the recipients. On Nov. 22, 2004, Youth Achievers delivered Thanksgiv ing baskets to two families. This is an annual service project for the Pfafftown Chapter. The youths bring in canned goods and other nonperishable goods and put them in boxes, which they decorate for Thanksgiving. Adult Achievers also assist with food items such as hams or turkeys. They then deliver the boxes to the families. Inside the family homes they sing songs and often pray with the recipients and newfound friends. They really try to get to know the people they have helped. ,Co- President Kourtney Mac-, Beth said: "Thanksgiving is all about being with family and shar ing with one another The main purpose (for us) is to remind us of how thankful we all should he for everything that God has blessed us with during the good and the bad times. The joy of see ing the expressions on the faces of the family (is) indescribable. It makes you (the giver) feel like you are truly helping someone." After the delivery of the bas kets. the girls went out to eat at a local restaurant to celebrate all November birthdays of Youth Achievers in the Pfafftown Chapter. Plans for the December Social Graces project were final ized at the group's Nov. 29 meet ing. On Dec. 10 , Pfalltown youths gathered fiW their final project of the year. Youths were excited about this project because it allowed them an opportunity to put into practice the social graces that they had practiced and they had escorts who practiced along with them. Pfafftown Chapter selected Astor Park as the site for social graces. A relative of one of the youths catered the five-course meal. There were no paper plates or plastic utensils. This was a dress-up and formal affair for the youths and observers. Youths were escorted and presented by Achiever Linda Bowman Hopson to the other friends who were present to wit ness. The Youth Achievers had practiced the graces of social din ing, starling with soup and salad. Proper ulensiis were required and had to be properly used through out the meal. Youths were encouraged to hold light table conversation while dining. This proved to be a success ful experience for all youths involved. They have definitely prepared themselves to feel com fortable in other settings requir ing such graces. Success often comes to those who have pre pared themselves to be comfort able and knowledgeable about the proper behavior required of those who would achieve. Good manners always count! Pfafftown Youth Achievers have worked hard to achieve and to succeed in the projects for this calendar year. They have been successful. ,? cAW cy eQ, '4/ vAeu AJ?h "Party Supplies f 11.5-12 Ounce Select Varieties Lays Potato Chips | Limit 2 Free MVP Boneless Value Pack New York Strip Steak Without MVP Card $9.79 j Whole, Boneless Pork Loins MVP..
