A-Thug to launch "Thugga Thursdays" this week

By BRS Staff

Black Rolling Stones' flagship artist, A-Thug, is continuing his rise to the top with several new projects. Not only is Harlem's king preparing a new movie, but he is still focused on his music, too. While grooming longtime BRS artist, Ronnie Juz, A-Thug is still boosting his own image.

This week, Black Rolling Stones will take another step in the direction of progression. A-Thug has several unreleased songs that were intended for albums and mixtapes. Fans have been waiting for a way to hear these unrelesed songs, along with new projects. A-Thug has come up with the fix of those wanting more.

Until the release of The Signature, A-Thug will release a new song or freestyle each week. A-Thug has joined a list of other hip hop artists with their own segment. This week, A-Thug will officially launch the new series, "Thugga Thursdays."

Megastar Films is preparing first Black Rolling Stones movie

By BRS Staff

Black Rolling Stones Enterprises has been making moves at every corner. For years, Megastar Films has provided fans with Megastar DVD. Given the positive reception of the DVD series, the company sees no end in sight. However, expansion is always on the horizon and Black Rolling Stones is putting together the very first film, which will be produced by Megastar Films.

The film, which will be called The Signature, named after the upcoming A-Thug album, is about a man (which will be played by Aaron "A-Thug" McBride) and his rise to the top. Also starring in the film will be young BRS standout, Rondell "Ronnie Juz" Charles. The film begins in September 2010 and is semi-autobiographical.

While the first two roles have already cast, the BRS team is currently looking for more people. The film has three primary characters with McBride and Charles. However, Megastar Films is currently searching for an actor to play the role of "Rocky." Casting calls for a man between 5'8 and 6'1, black or hispanic, who carries himself in a professional manner.

Other minor roles include Raymond Sanders, Bennie Finch, and Lola.

A-Thug nominated for Emmy for "Invisible" documentary

By BRS Staff

Even when pursuing the same dreams, people take different routes to get what they want. A-Thug wanted complete control for his company and he has it. The downside, however, is he has had to wait on the proper exposure coming for him. But, good things come to those who wait.

Late in 2009, A-Thug (birth name Aaron McBride) participated in a documentary. The documentary was titled "Invisible: the Diaries of New York's Homeless Youth." A-Thug was one of several people featured in the documentary. His story stuck out with many people.

Here was a young man who pulled himself up by the bootstraps and created a solid career rapping. Usually, when a child says they want to rap, people tell them to focus on something attainable. The same things were said to A-Thug, but he turned his career into something he could live off without working a job and now he is enjoying the fruits of his labor.

The documentary was recently nominated for an Emmy and A-Thug is excited about the entire project. The wait has been so long and things are finally panning out and in a major way for him. All of this hype comes as the Black Rolling Stones CEO is recording his next album, The Signature, and recording a few new mixtapes for promotion. The best promotion for his album would be if he could add Emmy Award winner to his list of accomplishments.

Even if the documentary does not win an Emmy, A-Thug and Reciprocity Foundation will be taking home major wins just for being nominated.

A few months ago, A-Thug released his single, "Can't Stand Still," featuring Ronnie Juz. The single is being used in promotion for a few of the upcoming A-Thug mixtapes and also for his upcoming album. A few months ago, A-Thug began recording his next album. Because he wants this to be his defining album, it is titled The Signature.

The album will not be released until later this year, but A-Thug will have more than enough to hold fans over. Not only will he be releasing several mixtapes, but there will also be new singles to look out for. But, with the singles he has already released, A-Thug plans to make them official.

In the era of technology, no single is official until a video is filmed and released. Earlier this month, the "Thuggatron" video was filmed and the release will be coming sometime next month. But, the main event of March 2011 will happen on the 5th. On March 5, A-Thug will be filming the official video for "Can't Stand Still," featuring Ronnie Juz.

A-Thug returning to Mixtape Grind

By BRS Staff

For every two steps going forward, one has to take a step back. It seems to be a silly concept, but it has been around since the dawn of time. When reaching for a goal, one will make great strides. However, many setbacks will also be faced.

What separates the winners from the losers is how they respond when facing advertisty. A-Thug has dealt with his fair share of adversity in the past. Growing up in Harlem is no walk in the park, but he did it.

Even when he was a child, A-Thug knew he would make it big doing something. Soon, he decided he was going to become a rapper. Many doubted A-Thug, but he did not let the negativity get to him.

Independently, he released album after album and built an entire company around his career, Black Rolling Stones Enterprises. A-Thug is much more than just another rapper on the streets of New York. First off, he makes music for everyone and knows how to change his style up and remain authentic. A-Thug is also one of few organized independent artists in any part of the nation.

While his studio albums have done well throughout his eight year career and he does intend to release his album this year, A-Thug is hitting the mixtape scene hard. Many popular mainstream rappers have done this to increase their buzz and A-Thug is no different. The Harlem rapper is working on making The Signature the best album he has recorded yet, but is keeping himself sharp by releasing a few mixtapes.

Check out the Black Rolling Stones site for more information about his mixtapes in the near future.
