A faint ringing noise tickles our inner ear, the result of a lifetime's worth of WMC pool parties, electronic music cruises, and afterhours ragers cramped into one bleepity-bloopity-filled week of house music.
After far too many dates with Molly (and 28 Vicks Vapor Inhalers later), we're regrettably giving up. We need something different. We need hip-hop.
So straying away from our traditional weekly party guide, Crossfade is proud to present you with a WMC alternative. Check out this weekend's best hip-hop club parties on South Beach.
Timbaland & DJ Irie. Presented by Artist Rotation. Friday, March 23, 11 p.m., Bamboo Miami, 550 Washington Ave., Miami Beach. Visit bamboomiamibeach.com. One of the biggest hip-hop producers in the game teams up with the NBA's hottest DJ for a night of hip-hop bangers. Don't expect any tikki-tikki bullshit at this party.
Rock the Houze. With Sidney Samson and Lil Jon. Friday, March 23, 11 p.m., Louis Bar-Lounge, 2325 Collins Ave., Miami Beach. Visit louismiami.com. You're thinking, Sidney Samson isn't hip-hop. And you're right. But how 'bout Lil Jon? Get your crunk on, party people.
We in This Bitch. With DJ Drama. Friday, March 23, 11 p.m., SoBe Live, 1203 Washington Ave., Miami Beach. Visit sobelivesouthbeach.com. SoBe's WMC party has very little to do with house music. In fact, it has nothing to do with house music. DJ Drama's a hip-hop heavyweight. Just ask T.I.
Four Play Fridays Friday, March 23, 11 p.m., Club Play, 1045 Fifth St., Miami Beach. Visit clubplaysouthbeach.com. Holla with DJs E-Feezy and Top Feelin as they hit y'all with a gnarly mix of hip-hop and R&B each and every Friday, spinning tracks for South Beach's sexiest crowd.
Trey Songz. Presented by Saturdays with the 400. Saturday, March 24, 11 p.m., Cameo, 1445 Washington Ave., Miami Beach. Visit cameomiami.com. Homie's on "Top of the World" and he's hosting Saturday's hottest hip-hip party on South Beach. Don't miss it.
Kirko Bangz. Presented by The Life Saturdays. Saturday, March 24, 11 p.m., SoBe Live, 1203 Washington Ave., Miami Beach. Visit sobelivesouthbeach.com. With drank in his cup and "Million Dollar Dreams," Kirko Bangz busts through SoBe Live for a night of quirky bangers.
