The Five Top Acts at Best of the Best 2018

Caribbean concerts are not for the weak. Jamaican gals are wining it up on someone’s boyfriend, Trinis are representing with their flags, and Haitians are throwing water bottles as if dehydration is not a thing. When it comes to Best of the Best this Sunday in Wynwood, expect nothing less…

Rolling Loud 2018: Winners and Losers

So much could have gone wrong at Rolling Loud 2018. Hard Rock Stadium had never seen an event of its size and scale, and the organizers had to build a small city in the parking lot to bring it all together. But mercifully, the weekend was disaster-free. Although there were early issues, the rest of the weekend went off without a hitch.

More Women at Rolling Loud’s 2018 Music Festival

Last year’s Rolling Loud music festival didn’t include enough female artists, and it pissed people off. In 2017, downtown’s Bayfront Park hosted the most hyped beast festival Miami has had to date. It included hip-hop staples Future, Migos, Post Malone, Kendrick Lamar, Travis Scott, Lil Wayne, and others but failed to acknowledge the women in hip-hop who have made strides in the male-dominated industry.

PlugIn Karaoke Opens First U.S. Outpost at Gulfstream Park

Too much karaoke includes the couch in someone’s parents’ basement, a bunch of drunken friends, and a fuzzy microphone. Luckily, these basement parties are now a thing of the past thanks to Broward’s newest karaoke hot spot, PlugIn. The new music and entertainment venue opens today, Friday, June 9, at Gulfstream Park in Hallandale Beach.

At Dope Entertainment’s third-annual Rolling Loud Festival in Bayfront Park, winners were dressed in thongs and fishnets, and losers spilled their beer on someone else’s shoes while running between the two stages. The festival didn’t end up underwater due to rain as it did in its first year, and there was no pay-for-play stage as in the second year, so Dope Entertainment was a winner this year. But there were a few losers who don’t get a pass.

Rolling Loud 2017: A$AP Rocky, Lil Wayne, and Others Ruled the Stage

The music isn’t the only thing loud at Rolling Loud’s third-annual music festival. The marijuana-themed hip-hop show spanned three days and brought out kids who spent their life savings on tickets, groupies who would do anything to get back stage, and stoners who stashed overpacked blunts in their socks.

Where Are the Women at Rolling Loud?

The initial announcement for Dope Entertainment’s third-annual Rolling Loud, which is set to take place this weekend, was exciting. The flyer listed Kendrick Lamar, Future, Lil Wayne, Young Thug, and many others, making the fest a hypebeast’s dream. But something was missing from the dozens of acts listed: women.
