Independent Journalism in Miami Needs You
We need to raise $10,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
Fridays, Amika and Privilege
With so many hip-hop DJs angling for stardom in the ultracompetitive South Beach nightlife scene, you’ve got to be a hustler. L-Smooth knows how to keep it moving: He often appears on Mun2’s video program The Roof, helps Melissa Giles organize the Soulfrito Urban Latin Music Festival (which has been postponed to early 2005), and owns an entertainment company, Smooth Entertainment. Add two back-to-back Friday night residencies at Amika and Privilege to his growing list of activities, and you’ve got a DJ who is determined to make his mark in Miami.
