So slip on your stilettos, grab your girls, and head out to South Beach for some hardcore rap from Yo Gotti, "forward thinking house & techno" from Fur Coat, and a neon paint throw down at Mansion.

Ages 21 and up. If Yo Gotti were an NBA all star, he'd be LeBron James. Not because LBJ is a record-breaking MVP beast and all, but because he ain't no "rookie." So if you wanna "[pop] bottles, [blow] money, and just [have] fun," you better "Act Right."
