Really quick spin: Tabi Bonney, "A Place Called Stardom ... - Washington Post Blog Posted: 26 May 2010 09:53 AM PDT By Sarah Godfrey D.C.-based rapper Tabi Bonney has never needed to rely on mix tapes as promotional tools — the legions of cool kids rocking pieces from his clothing line have been advertisement enough. So it's only now -- years into the MC's career -- that Bonney has released his first mix tape, "Mick Boogie presents: A Place Called Stardom." The free download contains enough of Bonney's successes to stand as a solid primer for the uninitiated, and there's plenty of newer material, so those who've followed Bonney's career from day one should have no problem allowing him to reintroduce himself. Many of the 24 tracks on "Stardom" already appear on Bonney's studio albums, "Dope" and "A Fly Guy's Theme," including the Kokayi-produced "Jet Setter." Even "The Pocket," Bonney's best-known track, appears here, but he justifies its inclusion by setting it up with a little introduction that explains the influence go-go has on D.C. hip-hop, and where he was when inspiration for the track's infectious hook hit him (that would be at the intersection of Florida and New York Avenues). Newer tracks feature Bonney's adroit rhymes and plentiful brand-name dropping, including "Killer People," "Get Me," "The Feeling" with Buckshot and GZA, and "Bonafide," a Wale-assisted gem from Bonney's vaults. And for the go-go heads, there is a remix of "Rich Kids," with Reaction Band -- a track that would would fit in just as well on a PA tape as it does on the mix tape.

Business mom: Nici Holt Cline has thriving multi-pronged at-home ... - Missoulian Posted: 24 May 2010 10:06 PM PDT Home is where Nici Holt Cline nourishes her heart and her business, both of which seamlessly commingle in her busy life as a mother, entrepreneur, writer, designer of kids' clothing and gardener. Other labels would also define this fourth-generation Montanan, among them, wife and risk taker. Flexible and imaginative, Cline, 32, quilts together an unusual workday from her house in the heart of Missoula. In and around meals, outings and naps with her young daughters, Cline writes a blog – which has paid sponsorship – and sews whimsical children's clothing that has become so sought after that Cline is hiring another seamstress because local shops can't keep her handcrafted items in stock. ***** In many ways, Cline exemplifies the new wave of Missoula's small business owners, entrepreneurs whose work is fueled by a creative outlet, and where life overlaps in the virtual and tangible worlds. You can find Cline on Facebook, on etsy.com and on her website, www.digthischickmt.com, and in specialty retail stores across the state, including the Blackbird Kid Shop in Missoula. All of this falls under one label, a brand called "Dig This Chick," which Cline gave herself years ago when she named her unusual business that offered gardening and graphic design services. That business faded away when Cline became the development director at the Missoula Art Museum. When she became pregnant for the second time, she wanted to become a full-time mother, who wrote and sewed every day. "It was a huge risk and a huge decision to stay at home and be a mom," Cline said. "I loved my job at the museum, but my kids are my No. 1 priority. "I'm also a believer in the law of attraction; that if you put your mind and heart into something, it always works out." And so it has. With her husband Andy, an electrician and painter, all of the pieces of their textured life work – and pay the bills. Cline's children's clothing has been so successful because she has a great eye for color and design, said Kia Liszak, co-owner of the Blackbird Kid Shop. "Our customers are generally looking for something local and unique and what we are selling the most right now are Nici's Montana T-shirts," she said. The shirts have a colorful applique of the state's silhouette. "She really hit the nail on the head with the perfect gift item. "She also picks really great prints for her clothes, which are really fun and unique. It's why her stuff is so popular. We can hardly keep them in stock." Cline said she continues to be amazed and thrilled by her entrepreneur success, and while she has more than 400 friends on Facebook, more than 29,000 monthly page views of her website and more than 16,000 monthly visits to her blog, she credits her success to Missoula's generous spirit. "This is a community of dreamers and supporters of dreamers," Cline said. "The people who live here are willing to spend and extra dollar to support a friend or a friend of a friend. "I felt that support right away, and it's what makes Missoula a great place to live and raise kids." Reporter Betsy Cohen can be reached at 523-5253 or at bcohen@missoulian.com.
