‘Love & Hip Hop Atlanta’ Season 4, Episode 8

480x360Love & Hip Hop Atlanta season 4, episode 8 airs tonight on VH1.

Kalenna and Tony make a major investment; Khadiyah faces Yung Joc’s exes; Kirk acts as peacemaker between Ashley and Rasheeda; Joseline needs Stevie’s help; and Mimi is ready to make a big confession.

VH1 is bringing a Southern-fried tale of struggle, love and temptation to Atlanta with a new season of Love & Hip Hop. Love & Hip Hop Atlanta proves love, music and the game know no boundaries. Among the main characters in this series are Stevie J, a three-time Grammy Award-winning producer who has worked with artists such as Diddy, Jay Z and Mariah Carey; Stevie’s longtime girlfriend, Mimi Faust; and a fiery up-and-coming rapper named Joseline. There’s no shortage of drama with this strong-willed trio. Also featured are Lil Scrappy, best known for his 2006 smash hit, Money in the Bank; his girlfriend Erica Dixon; and his mother, a former hustler known as “Momma Dee.”

The hometown hero, Atlanta rapper Rasheeda, is still searching for that big hit after years in the hip-hop game, but she’s constantly at odds with her manager Kirk Frost—who also happens to be her husband. Rounding out the cast are the talented songbird K. Michelle and Trinidadian R&B singer Karlie Redd. Atlanta is the new frontier in entertainment, the Dirty South, where the opportunity to make it big in the rap game is always one hustle away. Striving to leave their mark beyond the red clay of Georgia, hip-hop’s Southern princes and princesses are allowing nothing to stand between them and making it big in the game.

Love & Hip Hop Atlanta season 4, episode 8 airs June 15 at 8 p.m. EDT on VH1.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
