  Last night, South Florida's fastest rising rap star, Ace Hood, had a CD signing at the Best Buy in Pembroke Pines. The event was well attended and a lot of people came out to support the young rapper as he continues to climb the ladder of fame. There weren't a lot of celebrities on hand, but DJ Khaled was there broadcasting live for WEDR and Rick Ross stopped by for a bit to hang out along with Ball Greezy, and Grindmode. Ace sat atop an elevated platform signing CDs for at least 300 fans and

• Miami Feds Extradite Filipino Murder Suspect

  Maybe it's the palm trees, the sunny weather, the women on the beach. Maybe it's the welcoming international culture. Maybe it's the ready supply of blow. Who knows? But there's definitely something about Miami that appeals to murderous despots and wanted criminals of all nationalities, from ex-Venezuelan dictator Marcos Perez Jimenez to your everyday Peruvian genocidal military commanders.Alas, the heavy hand of justice caught up with one of our town's international criminals in residence this

  I just got word yesterday that R&B's newest sensation, Jazmine Sullivan is going to be in Pembroke Pines on December 21st. She'll be at Cafe Iguana (who seem to be booking a lot better shows lately) performing songs off of her solid debut album, Fearless. Most people only know Sullivan because of her two radio-friedly songs, "Bust Your Windows" and "Need You Bad," but the rest of the album is even more impressive. She's recently been nominated for five Grammy's because of it. Right now, she'

• More Broward Places to Get Your Mexican Fix

  John LinnFresh grilled Mahi Mahi finds a home in tacos and burritos at The Whole Enchilada in Fort Lauderdale. According to Gail Shepherd's Dish column this week, Palm Beach County residents have at least one more joint where they can sate their cravings for authentic Mex (though Ameri-Mex fans should clearly look past Cottonwood). But Gail also mentioned a host of great Broward places to get either iteration of Mexican food in her column: Canyon is one place where you can enjoy a prickly pear

  via Molly Matalon's Flickr​Solid Sound Studios is a rehearsal studio in Broward off Powerline and Sample that hosts shows in the bottom floor rehearsal space. These consist of kid bookers basically just renting out the space (as it would usually be rented out), and finding local bands to play for free. The show's admission charge covers the rental, the kids buy lots of energy drinks and those weird packaged junk food snacks in the studio lobby, and everybody wins. Most of the bands' names form
