SANTA MONICA, Calif., Jan. 4, 2011 /PRNewswire/ –Spring fever is coming “atchoo” on VH1 with six new series set to premiere in March and April 2011.

When people think of the hip hop life, they think of the players – the men who shape the music and the blinged-out lifestyle that comes with success. The fact is the hip hop life is different for the women involved: the spouses, girlfriends or artists trying to define themselves in a world where men are still calling the shots. VH1’s new, eight-part docu-soap series Love & Hip Hop follows four dynamic women who are connected to the world of hip hop, whether it’s through the men they love, or their struggle to be heard as an artist. Love & Hip Hop provides a dramatic, funny and sometimes heartbreaking look into the female side of the New York hip hop life as these four women try to claim their own place in it.

Chrissy Lampkin, girlfriend to hip hop star Jim Jones, and Emily Bustamante, girlfriend to rapper Fabolous, are waiting for their men to put a ring on it; however, both men suffer from a severe case of commitment phobia. Olivia Longott, the former first lady of G Unit, is done living in the shadows and is determined to make it on her own as a solo artist. Like Olivia,

Somaya “Boss” Reece, a tall, sexy Latina, also has a fierce determination to launch her rap career and become a household name in the music industry.

Will these four women have the endurance and fortitude to survive the chaos of the hip hop game and realize their dreams? Watch it unfold when Love & Hip Hop premieres Monday, March 21.

[UPDATE] Unexpected bad news, Somaya Reece!

January 3, 2011 in News

Bad news and more bad news.  Without getting into too much detail. I’m extremly sick. I’ve been fighting this cold for a week now. I haven’t moved from my bed, picked up my phone or anything. I can’t breath very well. I plan on being in bed for a weeks. Doctors orders. I’m really annoyed about it -_-  I’m locking myself in my home, staying in bed and  trying my best to knock this cold out so I can get back to work on my projects.

I have a lot of things to finish up and work that needs to be posted/announced. So, I will have my promo team & Team Somaya helping me update my Twitter, Facebook, Myspace and emails.

Hope all is well, it’s a new year, a time to let go of your negatives and move forward with a positive :)

I love you Team Somaya <3

But this time, it’s really going down in 2011 for me with all my projects.  However, i’m so grateful to have an extended family here on the East. I spent it with my other half of loved ones here. It was wonderful. I LOVE Christmas everything, the lights, trees and the spirit in the air is so beautiful. I’ve had a rough life  filled with tears and you know what? I still smile.  These are the moments I live for. Spending quality time with people who LOVE me unconditionally.  anyways. Merry Christmas, I love you all. TEAM SOMAYA you are my blessing :)

Hey guys Feliz Navidad! It’s been a few days that I have updated. It’s a little crazy over here with my new Broadway play  schedule and recording. However. You know I never forget you guys. So. The other night me and my castmates had some radio promo. After our interviews we all went out. Well, I should say, my girl First Lady said I better go. lol I cannot begin to tell you how loving my castmates are, the experience with this cast is truly magical and POSITIVE!  We have had a chance to bond which is making the chemistry of our play so amazing. Ok so, onto the party. We all went to Busta Rhymes artist Reek Da Villian’s “The Gift” Mixtape Release Party . It was a lot of fun and we danced a lot. Caught up with a lot of people I know out in NYC bit haven’t seen because I was working on  my VH1 show almost daily. Here are just a few photos from this celebrity event. Enjoy :)

My plans on traveling the world, backpacking!

December 19, 2010 in Candid Thoughts

Being in this entertainment business, I’ve been fortunate to travel the world. I love what I do and I get to travel with it. Call me a free spirit  but I am one to get up, pack my bags and move across the world like I did when I came to NYC. This may sound crazy but. I’m stirring my next plans. Me & a few friends are planning  to back pack through Spain, Italy, and Greece for 1-2 months next year . I’m strategically planning this trip around my work because next year is gonna be THE YEAR for me. I may never get to do this after my name blows up. I’m gonna be mad if I can’t make this happen. Yes. I know. lol I am crazy! BUT. Unlike other people I am a risk taker and I LOVE new experiences and culture.  I savor every breath of life and am a free spirit. I don’t believe in rules or restrictions. It is my life and I plan of experiencing it how I wish.  Others would be too scared. Not me!!!!  :)  I have visited these places however I had nice hotels and such. This time I am doing the opposite. I’ll gig 1 night a week, bring my laptop, small digital camera, a map, and make this a one time  experience of my life that I will never forget. This will be so much fun!!!!!!!!

[PHOTOS] My experience: Day 1 of rehearsals for my Broadway play!

December 8, 2010 in News

Last night was my first Day/Night of rehearsals for my Broadway play “Love Lies In Lust”….! I didn’t know what to expect at our first “cast table read” considering I would be meeting my cast mates for the first time. After working on different projects with NIGHTMARE/DIFFICULT cast mates, I had no idea what to expect. But. After being in so many odd situations played up with EGO’s. Hey, I can hope for the best but be prepared for the worse. lol  Well not only is  the cast very talented. But, everyone was extremely welcoming, no ego’s, and nothing but love in the room.  I play the leading role of “Nina” she’s extremely spoiled, a big time DIVA, a cocaine user,  ungrateful, and is hiding a very ugly secret from her husband. Obviously, the complete opposite of myself. lol And maybe this is why I play her so well. I can’t stand girls like this. I see them all the time in this business. Anywhoo hoos. The best part is, no matter how big or small anyone’s  role was. Everyone respected and treated each other as an equal. I’ve always said TEAM WORK makes the DREAM work. When you work with each other, you can achieve higher goals together.

Our first day exceeded everyone’s expectations. Everyones characters meshed very well together. I look forward to having you come watch my play. After we do our Broadway run, we will be traveling on a 12 city tour. We are also performing every night in the play.  Hopefully we will hit your city!  Here is a link to come support our play “Love Lies In Lust”….

Here are some photos taken at our read by our script supervisor  in character.
