Things are a little quiet this week thanks to Thanksgiving, but the scene isn't dead. There are still plenty of reasons to head out.
Before you chow down on some turkey and pumpkin pie, Trap Circus is bringing hip-hop's reigning queen, Cardi B, to the RC Cola Plant. The "Bodak Yellow" rapper shot to the top of the Billboard Hot 100 in October, making her the first female hip-hop act to do so since Lauryn Hill in 1998. Also on Trap Circus' bill is Kodak Black, YFN Lucci, and Rich the Kid.
If you're looking for beats on the dance floor, this week offers plenty of servings. Danny Daze will bring his Omnidisc Showcase to the Electric Pickle Wednesday, Steve Aoki will help you burn off the cranberry sauce at Story Friday, and Black Coffee will go deep house at LIV Saturday.
Here's your music calendar. And stay ahead of all the upcoming shows with New Times' Miami concert calendar.
