Months after his death, Atlanta rapper Takeoff received a musical tribute from fellow rap groupmate and real-life uncle Quavo during the Grammy Awards ceremony Sunday night, Feb. 5.

During the emotional song, Missing You, Quavo was accompanied by a gospel choir amid a backdrop of images featuring him, Takeoff and Offset, the Migos.

Takeoff was shot three times in the body and head on November 1, 2022 in Houston, Texas. The suspect has been arrested and is set to go on trial in Takeoff’s death.

Quavo Performs Takeoff Tribute At Grammy Awards

Watch Quavo’s Grammy Awards performance:

In January, Quavo released the Takeoff tribute track “Without You.”

In the song, Quavo says this about Takeoff:

I wish I had a time machine
Just so you can take a ride with me (Skrr-skrrt)
I miss just how you smile at me (Smile)
Unc and Phew until infinity (Infinity)

While much of the rap world and music fans as a whole mourned his death, understandably, Quavo was perhaps the hardest hit by Takeoff’s death. In the days after the incident, he wrote:

“You are OUR angel, watching me and watching us this whole time in living form making sure EVERYONE FELT UR LOVE AND HUGS while u here and u made our dreams come true,”

Before he was killed, Takeoff and Quavo had recently recorded and released a new album, Unc & Phew, releasing its first single just days before.

Days after the fatal shooting, throngs of people gathered at Atlanta’s Mercedes-Benz Stadium for a ticket-only funeral service.

When Are The 2023 Grammy Awards?

The 2023 Grammys will take place on February 5, 2023 at 7:00 PM EST.

The show will broadcast live on the CBS Television Network and stream live and on-demand on Paramount+ at 8-11:30 p.m. ET / 5-8:30 p.m. PT.

Black women entrepreneurs have made Atlanta, Georgia, the bustling marketplace that it is today, but it hasn’t always been that way in Georgia or across the nation.

According to a survey by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, only 21.4% of U.S. businesses are owned by women. In Atlanta, you may be curious to know what companies out there are black women-led businesses.

But you can watch Black Panther: Wakanda Forever for free right now.

How To Stream Black Panther: Wakanda Forever For Free

All you have to do is sign up for a free Disney+ account and watch the movie. You have seven days before any charges take effect. Yes, Disney+ has a seven-day free trial.

After the fifth day, make sure you cancel the service to make sure you don’t incur any charges.

This is just a streaming hack I write about here.

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever followed in the tradition of its original film by doing very well at the box office. The Atlanta-filmed sequel has taken in more than $840 million and counting. Now it’s time for it to stream on TVs at home.

One of the film’s stars, Angela Bassett, was nominated for an Oscar for her role in the movie. Ryan Coogler was back at the helm after negotiating with Marvel that the late Chadwick Boseman not be brought back via CGI special effects.

When Was Black Panther: Wakanda Forever Released For Streaming?

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever was released for streaming on Disney Plus on Wednesday 1, February 2023. You can watch Wakanda Forever Black Panther on Disney Plus here when it’s ready.

Get your popcorn ready at home because it’s an emotional, exhilarating ride for movie-goers.

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever received widespread acclaim and was a huge hit at the box office. But in case you missed the chance to catch the film when it was first released, here’s how you can watch the movie.

What Is The Plot Of Black Panther Wakanda Forever?

The plot of the movie centers around how the nation of Wakanda will cope after the loss of King T’Challa and pressure from surrounding nations to share its prized supply of Vibranium.

Under duress, Queen Ramonda implores Shuri to continue her research on the herb, hoping to create a new Black Panther that will defend Wakanda. Shuri resists the queen’s overtures because she says the Black Panther as a relic of the past.

Meanwhile, the CIA and U.S. Navy SEALs utilize a vibranium-detecting machine to locate a potential vibranium deposit underwater. The expedition is killed by a group of blue-skinned, water-breathing superhumans led by Namor, with the CIA believing Wakanda to be responsible. Namor confronts Ramonda and Shuri, easily bypassing Wakanda’s advanced security. Blaming Wakanda for the vibranium race, he gives them an ultimatum: deliver him the scientist responsible for the vibranium-detecting machine, or he will attack Wakanda.

Who Are The Cast Members Of Black Panther Wakanda Forever?

The cast of Wakanda Forever: Black Panther is made up of many actors that were in the first film including:

• Danai Gurira
• Letitia Wright
• Angela Bassett
• Winston Duke
• Lupita Nyong’o
• Florence Kasumba
• Michaela Coe

Final Word

No matter what happens, we know that Black Panther 2: Wakanda Forever will be an instant hit and bring even further spotlight to Atlanta as the new center of the moviemaking universe.

Delta Air Lines is known for its courteous service and those Biscoff cookies, but it has distinguished itself for its prompt arrival and departure times. When you’re trying to save money on travel and get someplace on your trip, this is greatly appreciated.

In fact, a new report says Delta ranks first when it comes to punctuality. The OAG’s Punctuality League 2023 highlights the U.S. airlines that are the most and least punctual, which is the major benchmark for passengers looking to stay on schedule for their travels.

What Airline Is The Most Punctual In The U.S.?

Delta is the most punctual airline, according to the report, which cited the carrier’s extremely low cancellation rate (00.1%) and 81.79% on-time performance (OTP) rate.

The organization also analyzed how punctual the major U.S. airports were as well, with Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson International coming in at #2 with an OTP rate of 80.08%.

Let’s look at the numbers, shall we?

America’s Most Punctual Airlines

While rankings only look at North American airlines, the global list has Delta ranked #17 respectively.

“Strong performance by U.S. Mega Airlines and Mega Airports reflects the competitive nature of the rapidly-recovering U.S. domestic market in 2022,” said John Grant, chief analyst at OAG. “Despite a tough end to the year, overall on-time performance is improving across the board as carriers provided slightly less frequency to ease operational pressures and delays. This in turn allows many carriers to deliver OTP levels last seen in the pre-pandemic era, if not better.”

How To Fly Delta Air Lines

If you’re thinking about flying Delta, you need to have a game plan in place for your safe travel. As the largest airline in Atlanta, the “red” side of the airport is one you can’t avoid. Here’s what to know before you buy your ticket.

Take Advantage of Free Wi-Fi

The airline made the announcement recently that it will begin a free Wi-Fi rollout on select aircraft in the near future. After that, smaller jets and the wide-body aircraft used for international flights will get free internet service in 2024.

Delta Is Hiring

Be patient with the staff because many of them are new or were recently hired. Getting hired at Delta is about as difficult as it is at any Fortune 500 company. It may take several weeks for the process to be completed.

Check Out Delta’s Economy Fares

We’re not saying that these fares don’t come with restrictions, because they do — a lot of them. But you need to know exactly what they are so you can choose whether the flight is right for you.

The Original Hot Chicken, launched by Atlanta-based Experiential Brands, is gearing up to bring Nashville-style hot chicken to metro Atlanta’s northwest suburbs. The area already has some of the best hot chicken in the Southeast, so this should be interesting.

The grand opening of The Original Hot Chicken restaurant is taking place on Saturday, January 28, 2023 in Woodstock, Georgia.

The Original Hot Chicken Set To Open In Woodstock

To celebrate the restaurant opening, The Original Hot Chicken will have on hand none other than chewing champ Joey Chestnut, who will take down their delicious mac n’ cheese for five minutes straight.

The restaurant opens at 11 am, and festivities begin at 12 pm, starting with the chicken dance contest. After Chestnut’s eating expo at 1 pm, he will be available for a meet and greet with fans.

The event will also include a live DJ, swag bags for the first 50 guests, a chicken dance contest with a $200 gift card for the winner, a live art installation from artist Roodoodles, and free food samples featuring the restaurant’s chicken doused in various levels of hot sauce.

What’s On The Menu At The Original Hot Chicken?

The Original Hot Chicken is known for its hand-battered premium chicken, which they marinate and roll in cornflake batter. Top menu items at The Original Hot Chicken include:

• • Chicken Waffles
  • Chicken Tenders Basket
  • Hot Chicken W/ Cole Slaw
  • Banana Pudding Milkshake
  • Crinkle-Cut French Fry Combos

“We’re excited to bring our Nashville-style hot chicken to the Woodstock community as our first Georgia location,” states a representative from the Experiential Brands Management Team. “There is no better way to commemorate this restaurant opening than with a ribbon cutting ceremony and an action-packed event. We can’t wait to introduce people to our incredible food.”

Where Is The Original Hot Chicken Located?

The Original Hot Chicken is located at 180 Parkway 575, Woodstock, GA. Here’s a map to help you find it.

Atlanta is having a restaurant renaissance. Hot chicken is the rage in Atlanta’s dining scene right now. But so are chicken and waffles.

A new initiative that aims to enlist hair professionals in the effort to support mental health in America is kicking off in Atlanta.

The Confess Project of America, “America’s First Mental Health Awareness Movement” that trains barbers in Black communities to be Mental Health Advocates, is launching their Beauty Coalition on Monday, January 30, 2023, at the Health and Style Institute (HSI) in Buckhead.

The purpose of the Beauty Coalition is to continue to raise Mental Health Awareness for the Black community in the place where Black women have always felt comfortable – in the beauty salon. Trained members of the Beauty Coalition will be armed with Mental Health Advocate tools and techniques to better serve their clients and ultimately have a positive impact on their communities.

The Health and Style Institute is located at 2450 Piedmont Rd, Suite 100 Atlanta, GA 30324. The event will run from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. EST.

Dating back to even before the Civil Rights Movement, Black barbershops and beauty salons have always been a safe haven for people in the Black community to come together and be themselves.

To date, The Confess Project of America has trained over 2,000 barbers across the country to be Mental Health Advocates using a therapeutic-based framework that educates barbers on 4 key points that reduce negative thoughts and stigma around discussing mental health topics. 

With the launch of the Beauty Coalition, The Confess Project of America will now be reaching even more people and can begin to impact those in beauty salons and beyond, equipping them with crucial tools for their mental health. 

What Should I Expect From the Beauty Coalition?

In partnership with the Georgia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities, The Confess Project of America will begin providing beauty salons with free Mental Health Advocacy training specifically catered towards women in the Black community.

At the launch event, there will have a free Mental Health Advocacy training, resources, lunch, vendors, networking opportunities, and a panelist discussion with various Mental Health Advocates and Women in the beauty industry. The training is not limited to only salons, The Confess Project of America offers their training to all kinds of technicians and women in the beauty industry.

Not only will Beauty Coalition members become trained Mental Health Advocates at no cost, they will also receive a certificate, access to our private network, media opportunities, and on-going support through monthly coalition calls!

Those interested in joining The Confess Project Project of America’s Beauty Coalition Launch Event can register here.

Edgewood Dynasty is opening to the public on Sunday, January 22, 2023, AtlantaFi.com has learned. The establishment is located in the space formerly occupied by Sound Table in Old Fourth Ward.

Greg Johnson and Noelle Taylor are the husband-and-wife team behind Edgewood Dynasty, which the couple hopes to turn into a destination spot for food and drinks.

Former Sound Table Reopens As Edgewood Dynasty

Sound Table, which was owned and operated by Karl Injex and Muona Essa, was a popular destination for late-night music vibes in Midtown and Old Fourth Ward. The COVID-19 pandemic spelled the end for the establishment, which lasted about 10 years.

For Johnson and Taylor, the opening of Edgewood Dynasty is the culmination of a lot of hard work and dedication after years of stress and litigation.

The couple had planned to open Edgewood Dynasty, along with its pop-up bar Cake Social Bar, just months into the pandemic but in 2020, the building was ensnared in a legal fight after a wall collapsed.

After a soft opening a few days ago, Edgewood Dynasty is now ready for big crowds and more.

Where Is Edgewood Dynasty Located?

Edgewood Dynasty is located at 483 Edgewood Ave., SE Atlanta, Ga. 30312. Here’s a map to help you find it.

In October 2020, The Sound Table informed its followers on social media that it was closing down.

“For the past few years, we’ve been considering making some big changes as we reached our 10th anniversary (which fell on the 30th of April this year). Fortunately, we found the ideal couple in our buyers, Greg and Noelle, who were ready to take on the challenge of carrying forward the legacy of 483 Edgewood Ave, under a new identity but with a faithful reverence to the ethos of ST. Watch this space for more details on their forthcoming evolution,” the business said on Facebook.

Final Word

Edgewood Dynasty is a welcome addition to Old Fourth Ward, which continues to be an eventful place thanks to the new businesses, shops and Atlanta Beltline restaurants that continually open.

The craze hasn’t escaped metro Atlanta’s  food and drink scene, which has seen a bar explosion in recent years.

Like many sectors of American life, technology has transformed the restaurant industry in recent years. In a first for the Atlanta-area, a robot is helping to serve guests in a restaurant showroom.

Arirang K, which specializes in Korean and Japanese cuisine, has a futuristic take on providing service to its customers: robots.

At Your Service At Arirang K: Robots

During peak hours at the barbeque restaurant, you might find a few robots helping out the waitstaff. Since June 2022, four “LG CLOi ServeBot” robotic assistants from LG Business Solutions have been assisting wait staff by accompanying them to guests’ tables while carrying multiple dishes at once, according to a company news release.

“We’ve been serving gourmet Korean barbecue and sushi for just over three years now, and we are always looking for ways to improve the guest experience and provide better service without increasing costs,” said Miok Kim, general manager of Arirang K.

Using LG robots just makes sense for the restaurant, Kim said.

“LG is one of South Korea’s most respected technology companies, so we were excited about the chance to try out their brand-new robot. Its cutting-edge sensors and programming accurately deliver food to customers and assist wait staff by reducing kitchen runs. Everybody liked the first two so much that we upgraded to four LG ServeBots to maximize service levels and guarantee that every customer gets to see the robots in action. The customer experience is also very important to us, and having the ServeBots move around the restaurant is a new and exciting experience for virtually all our customers,” Kim said.

Reaction to the droids has been nothing but positive, judging from the customers’ reactions.

About The LG CLOi Servebots

The LG CLOi ServeBot used at Arirang K (Model LDLIM21) can operate for up to 11 hours before needing to recharge. They come equipped with three shelves that can each hold up to 22 pounds each.

The SereBots also automatically follow commands, including requests to travel to specific tables or back to the kitchen, so kitchen and wait staff can load and unload food from its shelves.

“The main dishes that come out are mostly hot and can be dangerous, so the LG ServeBots are able to help us by bringing those dishes out, and all we have to do is hand it off at the table,” server Taylor Robinson said. “They take a lot off my shoulders, literally off my hands. I’m able to meet the customer at the table and hand the food off without any problems. Not to mention that customers just like seeing the robots in general, especially kids, who get really excited about them.”

Where Is Arirang K Located?

Arirang K is located at 7775 McGinnis Ferry Rd, Johns Creek, GA 30024. Here is a map to help you find it.

Airang K prides itself on serving traditional Korean & Japanese cuisines with only the freshest, most natural ingredients. In addition to Johns Creek, the restaurant also serves the Suwanee area.
