Detroit’s newest artist MAHD is adding energy to his career after his first EP release "MAHD ALMIGHTY". He released several songs and videos including "Lotus", a cover of Jay-Z and Kanye West's "Otis". MAHD has been featured on many social and music sites as VIBE.com, 2dopeboyz, Kevin Nottingham, and other main music websites. Check out the link to his video "Hello Detroit" http://youtu.be/kOPzbDI6Gp0

After writing and making songs the last few years for other musicians and himself, MAHD made his entry  into the music scene with his single "Pretty Ladies". The song dropped online to great acceptance  and love, and the official video is presented on World Star Hip Hop. "Pretty Ladies" continues to obtain steady radio and club play across the Midwest, most outstandingly in his hometown of Detroit. MAHD can be found on iAmMAHD.com and Datpiff.com.  

RhareFootage had the pleasure to interview MAHD , and get a better look at this “Rhare” artist.

1)            How long have you been performing/making music?

I've always messed around with music but I started taking it serious around 2010.

2)            How would you describe your music?

I would describe my music as heart felt and authentic. Like a collage of everything I came up on, with my own touch added to it.

3)            What inspired you to write your single “Hello Detroit”?

My city inspired me. When AwillTraxx  first sent the beat, I instantly felt the need to speak on my city. I just heard Hello Detroit once I hit play. The rest is history.

4)            What should your fans know about your album “13”?

This album is very personal. It's everything that happened in the year 2013. From start to finish. The good, bad and ugly. I really took my time on this album so I want people to just hear my story. Hopefully some can relate.

5)            What made  you pursue your dream of music?

Initially, I would always say I never wanted to rap for real. After a while of hearing many people say I need to take it serious, plus me not being satisfied from the music that was being put out at the time...I finally decided let me see what I can do. I just wanted to make music that I'd like to hear.

6)            When  was the moment you knew music was your passion?

I grew up surrounded by music. From my family to my friends. So I've always had a passion for music and it's always been around me. Even if I wasn't doing this full time I’d still be just as passionate about music. It's a major part of my life.

7)            What inspires you and your music?

Life experiences. I make sure I talk about my life, what I've done and seen personally. It comes out in the music. I feel like if I talk about my life then I'll always have something to talk about.

8)            Would you say being from Detroit influence your music? If so why?

Yes, definitely. I grew listening to Slum Village, Dilla's beats, Royce, Em and the list goes on. It definitely set a standard in my eyes of where my music should be. Detroit has made some of the best artists in the world so being from here definitely influences me. Also just the city and people itself play a major role.

9)            Do you believe your musical roots influence your music?

My musical background plays a big part in my career. Coming up I got to see the ends and outs of making music and the industry. So when I started it was like second nature.

10)          How would you describe yourself as an artist?

I would describe myself as an artist that can't be put in a box. Lyrical, original, aggressive, versatile and more. I'm always looking to get better and learn new things. I push myself with this music.

11)          Describe yourself in one word and explain why you chosen that word to describe you.

Determined. I say this because no matter what comes my way I'm determined to get where I'm trying to go. I won't let anyone or anything stop me.

12)          What would you be doing if you were not doing music?

I'm not really sure. Maybe I would've went back to school or something. It's kind of hard to say now that I'm doing it because I can't see me doing anything else.

13)          What do you look to for inspiration when writing your lyrics?

I normally only record when I've already been inspired by something. I write about my life so when something happens. Good or bad, I write about it. So I normally don't have to look for inspiration because if I haven't been inspired by anything then I'm not getting in the booth.

14)          What do you want people to take away from your music when they hear it?

I’d like them to take away something they can relate to. Rather it be a line I said or a whole song, if they can relate and it helps them get through their day then I've done my job. I feel like everyone goes through similar things so what I'm rapping about, someone else may be able to relate to it.

15)          What advice would you give to someone who wants to get into the music business?

Be prepared. You have to be prepared mentally and physically. There's a lot of ups and downs in this game and if you're not mentally prepared you may feel like giving up. Also stay ready so you won't have to get ready. This industry isn't easy so staying ready helps to make the job a tad easier.

16)          If you can say anything to your fans, what would it be?

I honestly appreciate everyone that rocks with me. Everyone that comes to my shows or help spread my music or support in anyway. I appreciate all of it and it helps me to keep going. Shoutout to the fans!

17)          What makes you a rhare artist?

What makes me rhare is I stay true to myself no matter what. Also I feel I'm the best. Seeing that there can only be one best at a time I think that makes me very rhare lol.

The Secret to a fun Labor Day Weekend

Hello my readers!!

It's Labor Day weekend in the city! What is fun to do?....Jazz Festival

The Detroit International Jazz Festival was originated in 1980 by Robert McCabe and the Detroit Renaissance. Alongside with the Detroit Grand Prix and the International Freedom Festival, Jazz Fest was anticipated to bring people into Detroit and to deliver all parts of the population with world-class entertainment. It rapidly became a Labor Day Weekend tradition at Hart Plaza, a city park beside the Detroit River designed by Isamu Noguchi and Shuji Sadao.

    

  The mission of the Jazz Festival is to: Adoptive the history and cherish the development of jazz,

Continue Detroit’s significant jazz legacy through educational and collaborative opportunities accessible to all, and Present a world-class signature event that makes Detroit a tourist target. 

Yes everyone this weekend is Labor Day weekend. I remember every year my aunt and uncle would go down to Hart Plaza to go watch the performances. This festival is the sign to the citizens of the city of Detroit that summer has come to a close and fall is here. I would tell anyone to come to Detroit and experience the Jazz Festival and I promise you after you come the first time, you would come back every year. 

For more information about the festival and performances please check out the website.

Chicago and Men's Fashion Week Chicago Finale show

Hi all my wonderful readers!!!!

Andrea Kelly 

     Sorry for the long wait, but I had to make sure everything was right before I post this. The last weekend in June, I along with my best friend went to Chicago, Ill. We really enjoyed ourselves. We went to the DUI fashion show which was the finale for Men's Fashion Week Chicago. Coming from Detroit, a city known for it's mix of classic and future fashion sense, I knew I had to bring it. The show was held at DuSable Museum of African American History located 740 E 56th Pl, Chicago, IL 60637.  The show and the week long event was organize by the one and only Blake Martin. The show was hosted by Tony Harper of VH1's Hollywood EXES and Andrea Kelly of VH1's Hollywood EXES, acclaim choreographer and dancer.

Tony Harper

Me on my way to Men's Fashion Week Chicago

      Someone like myself that only see fashion shows on television or just read about them, I had a stereotyped thought in my mind of how it was going to go. The show was high beat the total time which was totally the opposite I thought it was going to be. The show had everything from comedy from the hostess, hot fashion, dance numbers, and celebrity model Sessilee Lopez. Unkowning to me there were a couple designers in the show that were from Detroit. It was great and fresh breath of air to see young people doing positive things and place a positive light on to their city. It was also great to see how the show did not show favoritism between the newer designers and the more known designers. Everyone had their respected time on stage. I know you thinking because it was Men's Fashion Week that it was only clothing for me, but you are wrong there was clothes and designs for men and women. Blake Martin made sure that whoever came to his show would have an expereince unlike anything before. There were a list of wonder designers  at the end of the video and, please go look up all these wonderful designers and their work, you will not regret it.

Here is a link to a video of the finale show so you can live the expereince that was Men's Fashion Week Chicago.  Leave a comment of your favorite fashion staple for this sumer and telling me why you can not leave home with out it.

Younique just like you

Hello my beautiful readers!

To all my readers that are make up artists, love to create, or just learning about make up.
I found a great online shop where you can find all your make up needs. I tried a few of their make up products and I love it. The company is called Youinque and I was introduced to the company but one of their sale representative name Jackie. They have brushes all the way to concealer. All the products are reasonable price.  I love the eyeshadows. They are loose powder that can be use wet or dry. They come in different sizes and colors,  and the best part you can mix the colors to make the right colors for you. The product that introduced me to the company was the 3D fiber lashes. The lashes really help make your eyes stand out and be seen. I will post pictures of me wearing them during my trip to Chicago. The lashes come in a nice black case small enough to fit in your purse. It comes with a gel that helps curl your natural eye lashes and the fibers about to put on the ends of your natural eye lashes. This is a great product if you like me and can not put on false eye lashes or just dont have the time to put them on. Check out the website I promise you will find your own favorite product and fall in love like I did.

Kandis Page Photography

Hello everyone!!

                I’m so sorry for the long delay in my posting. I had some real life issues to handle. Now, I am back to let you all know about a wonderful photography company in the Detroit called Kandis Page Photography LLC. Once I saw the beautiful pictures and hometown pride, I knew I had to get an interview with this wonder photographer. After speaking with her about her company, I could tell right away that photography is not a hobby for her, yet it is a passion. To check out her amazing work and to get in contact with her check out her facebook page https://www.facebook.com/kandispagellc  Here is the interview with the owner Kandis:

 1.           When did you start doing photography?

                I have always loved to take photos; however, I began to do serious photography about three years ago.

2.     What kind of photos do you like to shoot?

When I began shooting I wanted to do high fashion photography, but eventually acquired a love for environmental and architectural photography. Soon after I thought it would be smart of me to be well rounded and look into all forms of photography.

3.   When did your company start?          

My company became official (LLC) as of late 2012.

4.   Which moment have you had on site that made you say “I love what I do"? 

I think for me whenever I can capture moments that people would otherwise miss out on, is what makes me say “I love what I do” or when someone has seen their pictures and are extremely happy.

5.   Do you think you living in Detroit influence your work or style of photography?

Living in Detroit certainly influenced my work. Detroit has always had so much to show and still does, but the fact that the world projects Detroit in such a negative light sometimes only inspires me to want to show the world what they truly miss out on, on a positive note with Detroiters and our beautiful city!

6.  What word would best describe your passion for your company and your talent?

Committed, would be the best word to describe my company and my talent.

7.  Who or what is your inspiration?        

Wow! This is a tough one!! I can honestly say I find inspiration from so much. More than anything my parents are my motivation. They showed me what it was to own a business at a young age because they owned one while still while still maintaining other jobs from time to time. With that being said I had the opportunity to see the flexibility, commitment, and hard work of a business and what it took to own one. Once I got a little older I receive the opportunity to work at various companies/businesses in which I received much experience, however I was building someone else’s dream, which is also inspiration in itself because not many will take the chance to step away from that and say I want to do something different. Aside from those things my family, my friends, my CITY, other artistic works (not just photography) and even my own work are my motivation also!

8.  Where do you see yourself in 5 years?

In five years I want to be completely established. I want to be a master at my craft but still be a student to my craft is that makes sense. In addition to that, I want to have given at least about ten to twenty scholarships to high school seniors looking to pursue the field of photography after they graduate, teach people what I learned and what it took to become successful, have more photography equipment (of course lol), I want to have retired my parents, have a nice size studio, I want to have traveled the world to have pictures of everywhere. Most importantly I want to have been able to give back. Although I know my answer seems very “photography driven”, photography is my life and I love it! I just want to be able to open new doors for everyone, not just photographers, show people that owning your own business can be done, help build my city up in the best light possible, and be the go to person whenever people are looking for photography need.

9.   Out of all the photos you have taken, which one is your favorite to shoot?   

Man, that’s a hard one too but hands down, I would have to say the pictures I take around the city are some of my favorite!

10. Describe your photos with one word.             

Creative

11.  Do you think Detroit is a good back drop for photography?  

Of course! As I touched on in some of the others questions, Detroit has so much to see and show the world. I can’t lie, I think we as Detroiters even take for granted what it is that we have to offer sometimes. We have some of the best areas to take pictures and we are home to some of the greatest art!

12.  What made you start your company?            

What made me start my company was being tired of working for someone else, not to mention I wanted to do something I loved rather than just doing something to pay the bills. Photography was that thing for me!

13. Who would you say is your biggest supporters?         

My biggest supporters are family, friends, PEOPLE I DON’T KNOW, and my business partners! I’m a really self-motivated person, but the abundance love and support I get from all of these people is UNMATCHED and fuels my drive for what I do even more!

14.  How would you describe Detroit to a visitor of the city?        

I would describe Detroit to a visitor as “a diamond in the rough”. Though that makes perfect sense to a Detroiter it may be confusing to someone else even though it shouldn’t be. I would simply describe Detroit as a city that has its problems just like any other city however the positivity and talent that is here is overshadowed by so much negativity.

15.  Last question, what advice would give someone who wants to start their own photography company?         

The best advice that I can give to someone starting a photography business or any business for that matter is to stay consistent, know that sometimes that your family and friends will not be the first people to support you, believe in what it is you’re doing or no one else will, remove all emotions from business matters and DO NOT expect instantaneous results!

Interview that is so Rhare

Women Rhare

It’s that time of the year again, the snow melting, rain pouring, and potholes growing. Yes everyone, spring is back in Detroit. Along with the season, the fashion scene is changing. It seems the more you look around, the more it seems that everyone is wearing the same thing as the next person. I have to tell you as a woman that is the biggest fear to show up wearing the same outfit as another woman. Living in an urban city full of music and art, it’s hard to find something rare and unique. I found a place where you can find that classic look.

It’s called Rhare Footage Clothing Co. It is a classic urban clothing store. I went to their website and feel in love with a two of their pieces which was their “he loves me ” and “build Detroit tough” shirts. The prices are reasonable and the color selection I really like. Not that may online stores give you that many colors to choose from for every item. Check it out for yourself at http://www.rharefootage.com/

I had a wonderful  interview with the owner of Rhare Footage Clothing Co. For all my readers in the Detroit/ Detroit metro area, Rhare Footage is having a unveiling of their first commerical this Saturday, April 5th  from 7 pm until midnight at 5E Gallery 4605 Cass avenue, Detroit MI 48201. Go show support to this wonderful company and see the clothing for yourself, plus there will be live performances and free giveways that night. Don't miss out.

Men Rhare

Here’s  the interview, Enjoy.

1.   When did your clothing line start?

March 2013

2.   What is the name of your clothing line, and how did you come up with that name?

Rhare Footage.  I’ve been thinking of clothing ideas for years, I met with artist, graphic designers, and more artist and I never clicked with them until I met my partner Titus Johnson he took my idea of having a Rhare line to always give the consumer something different and together we built "Rhare Footage" I always try to get exclusive shoes and I want my own exclusive clothing so rhare footage is rhare lol.

3.   What inspire you when it comes to fashion?

SHOES. Shoes is my favorite part of all outfits I feel like shoes could make the dullest outfit the most extravagant in the building. Ex. black Levis plain black tee? Anybody can do that, but add some "when pigs can fly" Nike dunks to it and you have a totally different outfit!

4.   How would you describe your clothing line in one word?

RHARE

5.   Where can people find and buy your clothing line?

www.rharefootage.com

6.   Who do you make clothes for? (women, men, children)

Men and women, and as of the summer of 2014 children as well.

7.   Do you think growing up in Detroit influence your clothing line?

I’m Built Detroit Tough so yes.

8.   Which celebrity style do you relate to, or inspire your personal style?

Teyana Taylor as random as that might be.

9.   What’s the inspiration behind your clothing line?

I’m inspired by competition I thrive off it.

10.    Do you think you are ahead of the fashion trends? why or why not?

I feel that my line is Classic/Timeless so it will always stay in style and will never be considered a trend.

11.    Would you say your clothing line is a rebel when it comes to the rules of fashion, or do you play by the rules?

I’d say it rebels because my clothing line doesn't have a face, you can't look at rhare footage and say that’s for white people or black or any other race it’s just classic as I previously stated.

12    What’s the size range of your clothing line?

Adult  XS-5x

13.   What message do you want people to get from your line?

That it’s not ok to be like everyone else be rhare dare to be different be your own Waldo.

14.   If you had to choose one piece from your clothing line to represent you, which one would it be?

The Built Detroit Tough

15.    How hard was it for you to start your own company?

Honestly God has blessed me with a great day to day job so when I met Titus we put our heads together started researching material and in a matter of 7 months we had 3 different looks 3 different designs and we went straight to work.

16.  What advice would you give to someone who wants to start their own clothing company?

Sale to strangers not friends.

That Awkward Moment~ Movie Review

Hello Everyone!!

I am back with another movie review. This time it is for the movie That Awkward Moment starring Zac Efron, Michael B. Jordan, and Miles Teller. This movie was funny, and I can not remember a moment in the movie when I was not laughing. I went to see this movie with a guy friend of mines, and let's say that everything they did in that movie represents a normal "bromance" while at least that's what I was told. The movie is about 3 friends who have fun and party. Zac Efron and Miles Teller 's characters work to design book covers and Michael B. Jordan's character is a doctor and the only married one in the group.

The movie shows about a 9 month time frame in the guys lives. Zac Efron was the player of the group, Miles Teller was the goofy(they called him the dumb one) of the group while Michael B. Jordan was the serious one. The movie shows how they each interact with women and how they deal with their relationships with women.

 once you see the movie you know why they each are holding their respected items in this photo.

The end of the movie was very "Disney" in my opinion. As in, the guy mess up loses the girl, the girl moves on but still the loves the guy, guy realize he was wrong and goes after the girl and they live happy ever after. Don't take it as I did not enjoy the movie because I did. It really help me to see my own male friends a little differently. I know I haven't said this in a while ,but it was a good movie, yet don't take my word for it go see it for yourself and when you realize how good it is then you know I did not lie to you.

MJR Digital Cinemas and RIDE ALONG movie review

Hello Everyone!

This past week my friend and I went to the movies. We decided to go to the remodeled MJR Digital Cinemas. Since neither one of us has been there, we didn't know what to expect. It was very clean and brightly lit like your normal movie theaters. I was under please with the theater it self until I sat in the seats. They're nice size, black leather rocking chairs. I would tell anyone in the Westland area to go check out this movie theater.

While I was in the theater, my friend and I went to see Ride Along staring Ice Cube and Kevin Hart. I was surprise on the level of action that was in the movie. The movie show case how much Kevin Hart's character is willing to go through for his dreams and to prove his love for his girlfriend to her overly protective brother played by Ice Cube. I like the movie, but I am not a fan of cop movies and this was a cop movie. I also didn't like all the reference to the movie Training Day. The ending of the movie was very "by the book" when it comes to a ending of a movie. It really do not take much time to figure out the next scene in the movie because it is a topical cop movie. Within the first 30 minutes of the movie I knew everything that was going to happen. The best parts was the comedy given by Kevin Hart.  All and All it was a nice movie to go see with friends or your partner.

Happy Valentine's Day!!

 Happy Valentine's Day Everybody!!!!!!!!

I know I'm early, but hey it's the thought that count, right? As you can see I changed up the look of my blog just to show you all some love this month. Since I do not have a Valentine this year, I thought I would share with you some Valentine's Day ideas for you and your Valentine.

Make your own Valentine's Day gift. I mean come on who don't like the idea of your lover taking time out to make something specially for you.

Do some dirty dancing. Burn a CD with hot and steamy tunes.  Hint: Pull down your shades before things get too steamy.

Have a picnic indoors. Spread a blanket on the bed with fresh fruit, chocolates, cheese slices, and wine to encourage between-the-sheets action for the night. 

Vamp it up. Buy yourself (or your girl) three new lingerie outfits in totally different styles -- over-the-top, cutesy, and subtly sexy -- and use your shopping spree as an excuse to suggest a before dinner fashion show. 

 Book a hot reservation (at home). While cooking together might be something you do every day, there's no reason it can't be special. The twist: Devise a unique menu that you'll make together every year on Valentine's Day (think: all seafood, or an aphrodisiac theme). Start the tradition now and you'll never have to worry about making last-minute plans in the future.

Get the Zen treatment. Book a couples treatment at a local spa for Valentine's evening. By the time you get home, you’ll be ultra-relaxed for some late-night fun. 

This is just a quick list of a few things you can do with your partner this year. From me to you HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!! 

HERE'S A SPECIAL KISS FROM ME TO                                                               YOU! *MUAH*

Personal rant

I just had to write these feelings out. It's a personal rant that I am posting just to show someone out there that is going through something like this that you are not alone.




I started this out not knowing what to say. This thought has been really have on my heart as of the past few months. I feel like this is a safe place for me to express these thoughts and emotions. I been in love with a man for 10 years of my life, but I always been the best friend. For 10 years, I just played my role as my heart bleed. Don't get it wrong, I had relationships, but my heart always wanted him. I tried and tried so many times to get over him and "let it go", but there was always something not allowing me to let go. Now I see that the writing is on the wall and he has a girlfriend, but that force will not let go. I miss my best friend, but this foolish pride will not allow me to reach out to him. I guess I don't want to seem like a pest or something. I guess I just got to get use to not talking to him, and it's going to be hard since I known him since I was 14.

Women are too emotional???

Hello Everyone!!!

I had a very good debate with some friends over the weekend. During this debate, it was brought up that women are too emotional. I do not know if I completely agree with this statement. As a woman, I know I have my moments when I get emotional, or I get too emotionally involve in something and can not let it go when the time comes for me to move on. Too emotional, I would not say that I am. Before anyone state I must been talking to a group of guys, I was not, it was a only one guy and he disagree with the statement. Then it was brought up that we was having the same debate as the leading women of Bravo's new reality series Blood, Sweat, and Heels. I heard of the show, but have not watched. I was so wrapped into this topic I went on to YouTube to pull up a clip of the show. I could not believe what I was heard. Do not get it wrong, everybody have the right to say or feel what they please. I just could not understand how women with that much power can say those things. Plus one of the ladies stated that she did not like bloggers and start to describe us(bloggers) as over weight and not taking care of themselves. I did take offense to that because I am new blogger and I am what many would call over weight, but I do take care of myself. I will not dive into the show because this post is not about the show or it's stars.

Personally, I think that women use their emotional to push them in life. I know I do. Negative leads to Positive in my book. It's just so funny how people look at emotions as a bad thing. They are not a bad thing. I believe women can be strong and emotional, but what do you think?

Needy Man

I'm sorry you guys! I know it's been a long time since I last post something for you guys, but school just started back and I was busy with that. Here is a little rant about what's been happening to me lately with accordance to guys.

Is it me, or are guys now a days supper needy? When I say guys I am not talking about all men, so fellas relax. I notice that a lot of guys are super needy. When I say needy I mean they always asking "so when am I going to see you?" or my favorite (sike) "when we gone to chill". That is a major turn off to me when guys say this. To me personally, if you want to talk, chill, hang out, or date me you can not ask me this. In my opinion you should make a move to spend time with me. If I am talking to you, you would know my schedule and what time I have free, so try to set something up during that time. You the man, don't make me set up all the dates and meetings.

North American International Auto Show

Hello Everybody!! It's that time of year again. The jewel of the winter for us Detroiters and automobile lovers. Yes!! It's time for the North American International Auto Show! This post is just to give you a little back ground about the show the show starts January 18 through the 26. 

Detroit has hosted an auto show for over a century. For the first few decades of its presence, however, the show's concentration was strictly regional. Then, in 1987, an imaginative group of auto dealers within the Detroit Auto Dealers Association (DADA) wonder why the show was not a truly international event. Achieving this objective within only a few years' time, the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) follows a vision of frequently redefining what it means to be an essential international event. To accomplish this goal, the NAIAS continually introduces bold new ways to enrich attendees' experiences and deliver brilliant value to media, industry and the public.

NAIAS 2013 was a true gala of the vehicle and a rally of the strength and resiliency of the auto business. People was doubting the show could bring anyone to its doors with the reason bail out drama. They were wrong. Nowhere was that more clearly seen than on the show floor where companies revealed over 60 of their most remarkable new vehicles, showcasing them before international onlookers of some of the world's most influential media and the all-important car-buying public. The show was a true image of a strong, vibrant and more confident industry. International media numbers were up, Industry Preview saw more attendees, and Charity Preview elevated 30 percent more than the 2012 event and total ticketed attendance was the highest since 2004. NAIAS 2013 was a two-week celebration of cars, technology and industry self-reliance.

The North American International Auto Show 2014 is where the global automotive community comes together to catch up on the latest news and events. Join more of your peers from around the world at the industry's most substantive annual event. In addition to some of the automotive world's most eagerly anticipated new vehicle premieres, you'll gain unprecedented access to more of the industry's top leaders and thinkers than anywhere else in the hemisphere. What a great way to build up the hype for the celebration of the 25th anniversary for this year!

New Year = NEW CHANGES

 Happy New Year Everybody!!!!!

As some of you can see, I changed up my blog background. I came up with the idea to change the background every month. It's important to shake things up every once in a while, right? This year I will be more open and getting back to what my blog originally was started to do. Promote Detroit in a positive light.

I want to thank every single person who have came to my blog, read my post, and left a comment. I promise to make this blog bigger and better.
