The Return of Remy Ma Upon Her Release From Six Years Behind Bars

These female MCs are about to be in trouble because the First Lady of Terror Squad is coming home! With a majority of female rappers conforming to the ideal and clean-cut image of mainstream Hip Hop today, it's exciting to see a woman that lyrical went against the norm from the jump getting back into the game again. After being sentenced to prison back in 2008 on two counts of assault after a shooting altercation, Remy Ma has served six of her eight year sentence and is expected to be released from prison on July 31. 
The Bronx native recently called-in to speak with Power 105's own Angie Martinez on July 21 about her plans to focus on her career upon her release, gradually maturing in prison, and her marriage to rapper Papoose while behind bars. Remy sounded joyful during the phone interview and is excited about all the projects she is about to get into which will be filmed in an upcoming reality show.
Remy told Angie Martinez:

"I grew up a lot, like I look at things differently. Looking back and looking at everything else, I was able to see a lot of things. I was really crazy. You get to see from when you're stuck in one spot and you can't just go as you please and do things as you please…it's the simple things, you can't take a shower when you want to. You can't make something to eat when you want, you can't wear your hair how you want."

In regards to Remy's music career, currently the only real competition she would have is Nicki Minaj. Seeing as how Nicki has been holding a steady spot as a female at the top of the Hip Hop charts for the past couple of years, she would definitely be one of Remy's major competitors. Instead of having animosity towards the rapper for her recent success, Remy has nothing but love for Miss Minaj and wishes more female rappers would come out of their comfort zone to take over the game as well.

"Nick has always been a supporter. I love what she's done, she's done wonderful things for females but…I just wish there was more of them . I don't know what they're doing, they're letting these guys take over."

At this point in time, it's looking like nothing but positive vibes and good times for the Grammy-nominated artist upon her release from prison. The "Conceited" rapper has some high expectations to live up to in the next couple of months but she seems to be ready to take on the fire.
It's about time somebody comes and shakes things up in this Hip Hop game! Welcome home Remy Ma! Your fans welcome you back with open arms.

The first lady of Hip Hop radio has done it again! Angie Martinez is truly "The Voice of New York" as she snagged the most talked about couple beside Kimye for their first joint interview. The Power 105.1 FM host sat down with rising rapper French Montana and his reality star beaut Khloe Kardashian on July 24 and let them dish on everything from their sex life to addressing critics who question the sincerity of their relationship.
After the horrific public breakup with her husband, basketball player Lamar Odom, it seemed to be difficult for Khloe to jump back into the dating game - but it now seems as though she has met her match. French told Angie that Diddy was to blame for their budding relationship as he introduced them during a drunken night in the studio and they've been kicking it ever since.
The Keeping Up With The Kardashians star expressed the love she has for French letting Angie in on the rapper's sense of humor as well as the more sensitive side that fans don't necessarily get to see.

He is probably one of the funniest people I have ever met in my life. In my life. You cannot stop laughing, like crying laughing.People definitely don't see the great parts about him too...but there's also a different side of him which he keeps more private as he should...He can be a softie sometimes.

It has only been less than a month after their red carpet debut as a couple at Khloe's 30th birthday party and their already comfortable enough to dish out their raunchy sex life to the media. Although French observing Ramadan has put a bit of a hinder on their sexual activities, Khloe supports her man's by helping him as he restrains from food, drink, smoking, and sex until after sundown each day during the Muslim holiday.
Of course with such a high-profile relationship comes critics, but Khloe has got a word or two for the haters who pride off of biting off other's happiness.

People are gonna comment no matter what. If I dated the most clean-cut perfect guy, they're gonna comment. That's just the way it is. If I'm having fun and if I like this kid, no one else should care, they're not f--king him, (laughs) or maybe they are, I don't know.

French responded to to his lady's statement with his "haaaaaaaaaaaa" signature and agreed to just let the haters hate while him and Khloe keep busy just doing them.

Angie Martinez Moves Up The Dial To Take The Power 105.1 Mic For The First Time

'The Voice of New York' has officially readjusted her radio dial to her new home at New York's rising Hip Hop and R&B station Power 105.1 FM. Legendary radio personality, Angie Martinez, is back on the mic keeping it real with the city as she kicked off her first day on the air in her2pm to 6pm time slot on July 17.

The former Hot 97.1 FM voice-jockey shook fans by surprise when she announced  back in June that she would be resigning from the station after being a huge contributor to the success of Hot 97 for over 15 years. Just a day after she resigned from Hot 97, Angie announced that she would be taking her talents to the rival station by joining their powerhouse lineup. With there being a long-history of competition between Hot 97 and Power 105, Angie's decision to join the Power 105 team was met by many opinions and critiques.

Despite what critics had to say, Angie stands strongly by her decision which she views as the next phase in her life. When the Extra correspondent sat down with Power 105's hit morning show The Breakfast Club on June 24, she held nothing back when she told the trio exactly why she made the drastic station change.

"This company offers so much opportunity for growth, and I want to be on in different cities. I wanted to grow, I wanted to be able to have new challenges, see new things... It was time."

Angie Martinez celebrated her new found glory by posting this photo of  her new radio home just minutes before going on air.

Angie's Instagram caption read:

Feels like the first day of school! Going live in 15 mins on @power1051#Day1

Angie kicked off her first day at Power 105 with one hell of a start. Besides spinning hits after hits, the radio personality received well wishing calls from Hip Hop game changers like Diddy, Alicia Keys, and Jay Z  just to name a few.

Power 105 and the Clear Channel Media family seem to be a great fit for Angie. And as she settles down at her transitioning station, we hope that she'll continue to bring New York (and now The Beat 103.5 Miami) nothing but the best.
