Good ole' Classic Weekend! A full weekend dedicated to celebrations! You know Starlet’s ready. Orlando’s nightlife is already full of action, but when this event comes to town…the city shuts down! All clubs are definitely locked in with special events for that weekend.

Big name acts are brought into town to host parties and rock stages. The weekend kicks off on Wednesday November 18 and goes strong until Sunday November 22 ending with Dawgman's Annual Car Show. If you have seen any promotions or flyers of different parties going on, have no fear…you know your girl Starlet’s got you covered. But do be on the look out for the official party guide provided by Frontline Promotions. Not only is it filled with over 20 events to do that weekend (no, seriously, its kind of ridiculous all of the events they have going on) it is also a very nice looking booklet. Great job on the marketing pieces guys! So, no matter if you’re a Rattler or a Wildcat or like me, just want to party, here are some parties you should be sure to check out.

Ladies & gentleman, be sure to celebrate responsibly. Classic Weekend is a party-filled weekend. Let’s all do it smart & right so we can do it all again next year. So, I’ll see you in the streets!

bedo- GanGstaG r i l l z

by: Nick Grace

On a brisk Thursday afternoon I was able to catch up with local hit artist Bedo out of Kissimmee but representing the whole Orlando movement . His last mix tape "Hurtin' Before Havin'" has had much success being hosted by DJ Khaled . The hit track on this album was "Money To The Ceiling which fea-

tured the well known DJ Khaled . On this track Bedo shows his unique style and crazy swag when he raps similes such as “I get higher than lab animals .” with DJ Khaled screaming on the tracks the usual crunk chants "We The Best" and "Listen!!!" . As I sat down with Bedo at the KDS Studio we discussed several different topics such as the Orlando Hip Hop Awards which we spoke roughly two weeks before the annual event began . Along with that the most anticipated Florida Classic which our city hosts every year and brings out the who's who of every industry . We go into detail discussing his plans for the upcoming event and what his mindset is for the future . Pay attention as the featured artist on New Dirty Entertainment speaks about his plan .


Bedo, What's new with you?Everything has escalated, we have been trying to bring everything together . Trying to pay bills and get the business portion situated . We are beginning a new movement starting at the end of this month .

Last time we spoke was before the Orlando Hip Hop Awards, how did the event turn out?

No Comment . LOL

What awards did you receive?No awards were received . I'm happy for the artists who did receive awards such as P . I . Bang and Drop who are my peoples .

How has your mixtape "Welcome to the Movies" fared so far?

This mixtape was put on hold . I am dropping a Gangsta Grillz Mixtape hosted by DJ Drama on Classic Weekend Called "Bedo Turkoglu Awake of Da Sleeping Giant" straight from the hood near you . Catch me on facebook, myspace, twitter and also

youtube . If you see me classic weekend I will have copies on deck so holla at me . We have DJ's on deck if anybody is in need .

What are your plans for classic weekend anything major?

Classic Weekend begins the take over!! That's the first step, for the record I will be everywhere you can think of . I will be on the radio, every club, show, and big event . This will be the start of the Bedo's World Era . I performed last night as of matter of fact at Tabu . The weekend of the classic I will be per-forming at Destiny on Friday, Saturday at Firestone, Sunday I will be at the car show . I will have a tent posted outside with the mixtape "Bedo Turkoglu Await of the Sleeping Giant" .

Do you have any future cd's or mixtapes dropping soon?

I'm pushing on the radio "Superstar" produced by R Chris . I also have the street singles "So Wavy", "Comeback", and "Chasin Dolla's" featuring Drop . This will be the street anthem mark my words when I say this . The video will be coming soon so keep anticipating . First quarter of next year we will be

dropping the Gangsta Grillz part two which is still untitled I'm in the booth working on it as we speak . Please note, you will hear me with DJ Drama a lot from now on .

What other shows or tour dates can you let us in on?

I will be at Classic of course . The "So Wavy Tour" will be starting which I will probably bring some of Or-lando's finest through to name a few Drop, Duck, P . I ., etc .

How can you be contacted outside of your shows?Check me out at www .newdirtyentertainment .com or my myspace .com/newdirtyentertainment, facebook, follow me on twitter at twitter .com/attha_real_bedo, also at our email newdirtyent@aol .com My manage-ment Craig 352-988-4487, also Hollywood at 407-948-2909 or Mercedes Streets .

And make sure your hygiene is on point! ie: Fresh breath, deodorant, hair done, smell good, before you take your ass in somebody’s face .







When you think of Classic Weekend, you think Frontline Promotions . But lately, the streets have been wondering what is really going on with Frontline? Out of

nowhere, Club Whispers was gone and up came Rain Ultra Lounge . Pat Nix & Willie Fisher went all out when designing this club, but it appeared that they may be loosing their touch with the people . I had the plea-sure to sit down with this dynamic duo, and learned firsthand why this partnership and company is here to stay and their vision is larger than Orlando . Through all the rumors and uncertainty, Pat & Willie still run this town tonight .

What made you decide to shut down Whispers & re-open it as Rain? What was your vision?

Pat Nix (PN) Simply put, Whispers was very success-ful for six years . And JJ Whispers was successful for fif-teen years when it was previously off of Lee Rd . We just felt that the name had ran its course, and it was time for something new . The vision for Rain was more so some-thing for everyone . It’s a wide genre nightclub; more mainstream .

Willie Fisher (WF) Usually the lifespan of a club is about five-seven years . Whispers had its run for six . We originally was going to do something downtown, but when that fell through we decided to put all our effort into Whispers . We were trying to go for a new vibe, new club scene for Orlando . We felt it was time to flip the script .

How did you go about changing the concept of the club from its “Whispers” roots? Did this concept work?

(PN) Well we just went out and teamed up with other promoters, other marketing people and decided we weren’t going to be a straight urban night club . It was go-ing to be a nightclub for everybody . We have had some challenges, but for the most part it’s doing what we need it to do . The club is opened six nights a week now, so we feel we have done what our goal was to do .

(WF) When we did the changes, we wanted to start going after everyone and not just be known as an urban club . Right now, it is working very successfully . Especial-ly our Tuesday night, which is real mainstream . We also have a successful Latin night on Friday . We pretty much across the board, so I say yes it is working .

You put a lot of work & money into the remodel-ing, as you two have done a couple of times. Just recently before Rain, in fact. Did you feel you had to go that route to change the stigma?

(PN) Yea, we did feel like we totally needed to revamped the club . We couldn’t just go out and say we change the clubs name to Rain without the enhancements .

(WF) We didn’t just do the changes because of Rain . With any night club, you have the wear and tear . And after a couple of years, night clubs change . When we

originally bought the club, we didn’t have all the lights and light show stuff . It was mostly all wood . Since then, lights have been more involved in clubs; light shows, neon lights, things like that . So we changed with the times .

What’s the relation between Frontline Promotions & The Next Lvl Project?

(PN) The Next Lvl Project is actually a branch off of Frontline Promotions . We are trying to go after some of those customers we may have lost . The Next Lvl Project would be events that go after the elite . Frontline kind of got “married” with Whispers . So therefore we stopped doing some of the things we were known for in the past . The Next Lvl Project is going to do some of those things that we pretty much went away from . Things that we are trying to get back to .

Any Next Level Project events in the works that we can start expecting to see?

(PN) Absolutely . Some of the things during the Clas-sics are brought to you by The Next Level Project . But we haven’t really mentioned it because we want to do an official launch party for The Next Lvl Project brand .

What made you decide to bring back J-Deezy? How does he fit with the new vision?

(PN) Well J-Deezy is a valuable asset to any business . We feel like he was part of us, you know . He had been around for well over ten years in doing Frontline events . It just so happened that he want-ed to go do events out on his own . He had wanted to be back with us and we wanted to be back with him, so we just decided mu-tually to reunite .

(WF) J-Deezy has a gift . He has the gift of mov-ing people to the clubs, and keeps them moving while they are in there . See nowadays, you not only have to promote to the people to get there, you gotta promote to them to stay . He’s very good at this .

What happened with Christina Clarke resigning? She was with you guys for a long time. Are you looking to replace her?

(PN) You ever heard the saying “all that glitters is not


gold”… . Sometimes people come to a crossroad in life and honestly that’s simply what happened . Christina actually chose to move on and I respect her for that . And I wish her all the best .

Are you looking to replace her?(PN) Already replaced .

What’s the situation with Shelly Flash?(PN) Shelly is no longer working here either . And I

am pretty sure she is doing some of the things that she wanted to do also, so we wish her the best also . I will always love the both of them (Shelly & Christina) . This is the last time I will talk about that, It’s history .

You two dominated the promotion & nightlife scene for so many years. It appears not to be so true at the moment. Could you explain what is going on?

(PN) Some people may see that in their eyes that we slowed down and whatever . The people talked about Je-sus, and look how great he turned out to be . (Lol) What I’m trying to say is “if nobody is talking about you, you probably aint doing shit” . But come on now, there is no promotion company, not just in Orlando, but all of the southeast that’s on the level that we are on . We do national events . We own our own club . We keep it mov-ing . We getting ready for All Star in Dallas, Super Bowl in Miami . Those are the type of events that we do . You got

Fortune 500 companies shutting down everyday . I just feel blessed that we are still here . Yes, it’s been hard on every business . The country is in a

recession .(WF) We are trying to make

changes, and these things don’t happen over night . We are pretty much happy with the

way things are going . This is the slowest time for night clubs regardless . Now, we are just trying to change from just been urban, and these things just take time . But, we are happy with the way things are going .

When do you plan on opening the second room?

(PN) Yes, the room will be open for Classics . Not completely the way we

want it, but it will be open .

What’s going on operation-ally within? It appears you hired a whole new staff.

(PN) The thought process behind that was new club, new

vision, new staff . Just about everybody working here is new . We have some people around from Whispers .

What made you decide to move 1st Fridays to Rain? Is that its permanent home?

(PN) Definitely not its permanent home . But really knowing this business, August through November are the slowest months for clubs & promotions . So why not cut some of the expenses and gain profit in the venue that you already own . But this is definitely not its per-manent home . We’ve got some big things planned for 1st Fridays that I am not ready to speak on . 1st Fridays will be reloaded by the 1st of the year .

(WF) We have a Latin night at Rain on 2nd, 3rd, & 4th Fridays . Nothing is being done on the 1st Fridays . So since we already have a once a month program, and being that it’s the slow season, we thought it be a pretty good idea to do that for now at Rain until we get out the slow season .

Tell me about your different nights at Rain?(PN) Well, we are closed on Monday . Tuesday, we

have a very successful alternative night by the pro-moter name Paul Anderson . He’s been great, and the number has been tremendous . Actually, for the alter-native crowd, it’s the premier nights for that genre in all of Orlando . Wednesday we have Rumba . Thursdays, we went back to the famous Girlfriends Thursdays with DJ Q45 and 102JAMZ . Friday, we have happy hour with 94 .5 . Later that night, we have a promoter by the name of Dallas, and he has more of a younger Latin night . Sat-urday is more of an RnB, Hip Hop, Top 40 night . Sunday, we have Service Industry Night .

Frontline owns Classic Weekend. Could we expect the same this year?

(PN) Have you seen the booklet? LOL . Put it like this…Frontline IS Classic Weekend . Our theme this year is “We Run This Town: You’re Game . Our Party .” Same big events . The rundown is featured is this FlyerPromoNow edition . We are bringing in Daddy Yankee, Bell Biv De-voe, the Cash Money family, Terrance, Rocsi, Kevin Cos-som, & Kid Capri, just to give some names .

(WF) When it comes to acts, this is the largest Classic Weekend we have ever done . We are giving the people a little bit more for their money .

What’s the future hold for Rain, Frontline, Next Level, Pat & Willie?

(PN) The future holds success . Like I said before, my goal is for my great grandchildren, or my great great grandchildren to run Frontline . It is a business . We ain’t going nowhere . Trust that .

(WF) We just taking it one day at a time . Starting in January, we are going to be doing major shows . We just doing what we do, but being more cautious during the hard times, like all businesses do .

The Classic has approached us again and the streets are flooded with Orange and Green and Maroon and Gold. Who is the bet-

ter HBCU? FAMU or BCC? If you let this season's record speak for itself well then Joe Taylor and the Rattlers come out on top. The Rattlers are 7-2, as of Presstime, with only Hampton University left to play before they take on the Bethune Cookman College Wildcats, who at Presstime are 4-5. I have to admit that I don't really follow the MEAC (Mid-Eastern Atlantic Conference) that much. I should considering I went to a prestigious HBCU myself. Even without following Black College football this season I heard about FAMU's LeRoy Vann, you may have heard him referred to as Vann-tastic!

I have to agree the man has skills. Vann is a Defensive Back and Punt Returner. He is the BMOC (Big Man on Campus) and the Big man on the grid iron. Vann has 5 punt returns for touchdowns so far this season. He tied the FCS (Football Championship Subdivision) record. He has won National Player

of the Week honors more than once this season. In my eyes he is more than player of the week he is FAMU's player of the year. Other sources have called him the #1 Black College player. With all the Vann-tastic hype and the Rattler record the Wildcats don't have an easy task ahead of them.

I dont know what BCC has up their sleeve to pull off a win against the Rattlers. I can assure you that Vann plans to show out though. Word is that before the game he calls how many touchdowns he is going to get, and so far he's been right. While he is doing his job on the field the Marching One Hundred will be doing theirs in the stands. BCC and FAMU both have good bands. But it is goiong to take more than playing Swag Surfin or Wasted to win this game.

I guess by this article its obvious who I am pick-ing to win this Classic. Sorry BCC players, coaches, students, faculty and Alumni but I'm riding with FAM G** Damn U...alright alright!
