It’s a recent Saturday night, and producer Jim Jonsin is installed at the console of his midtown Miami studio, as he is for about 15 hours on an average day. It’s been a banner year for the Coral Springs native, born James Scheffer, and he’s wearing a multimillion-dollar smile. “Winning…
Def Jam is calling her the “next Mary J. Blige.” At the same time, they are telling her to lose some weight for an upcoming video shoot. Her name is Shonie, and we met up over the weekend at Slip N Slide headquarters. Slip N Slide’s VP, Julian “Ju-Boy” Booth…
Carmelo Anthony spoke with Prunk TV recently at a party in Miami. He was promoting his hip-hop label, Krossover Entertainment. Melo won a gold medal in Beijing last year, but who really cares, when the Miami Heat crushed the Atlanta Hawks like a bunch of grapes on Saturday. Dwayne Wade is really one of…
As Tony M. said, “Miami is a big pussy waiting to be fucked.”It was as if I had been staring at the fire for days. Adorable young men hitting on me, Colt 45s, women ripping off my clothes…I had such a hoot this past weekend. I have finally found a…
Imagine if cyberspace had existed when Andy Warhol was alive. He would have been a vlogger, I’m sure. This one is for you Andy! The entire video below was made with my one-and-only Prunk Phone (my friends call it a “ghetto iPhone”). “Drunk” Ken recently called Rollins on the Prunk Phone, because…
Miami rapper, Flo Rida was shooting a video on Miami Beach this past Friday for “Sugar.” The song is from his new album R.O.O.T.S. (Routes of Overcoming The Struggle), available in stores now. Usually at a video shoot, you don’t see the actual stars. You see the grip men, the…
Rick Ross knows how to throw a party, so stay tuned. This is some exclusive Prunk TV footage from a recent bash that he threw to promote his new website at Club BED…
The Monday Night Jazz Jam at Churchills Pub is some real old school shit. We spoke with 75 year-old Jazz DJ Dan Serro, who has over 53,000 vinyl records that he has been collecting since 1947. Like a sage, he sits on the Churchill’s stage every Monday night spinning vinyl…
My music is (as you know) stripped down to the bone (perhaps why you were nearly naked)…I hope that the music I create is both appealing to the body and mind allowing you to dance full force on the dance floor, hide in the corner of a club with your eyes closed, or while relaxing at home.
For Sam Hamovitch, the year was 1986, and you were about to witness the birth of a historical moment in rock and roll history. It was called “Hair Metal,” and it was pioneered by Mötley Crüe. Your bedroom walls were festooned with pin-ups of Crüe band members Vince, Nikki, Tommy,…
Those of us familiar with the history of Hardcore Music know that Greg Ginn is not just the man, but a brilliant guitar god. He formed Black Flag in 1977, eventually releasing the band’s records (as well as Bad Brains, Minutemen, Descendants, Sonic Youth, and lots more) on his own…
Qwote makes the kind of music that sparks a sweaty hunch on the dance floor, right before you and your new friend start kissing. And back at the crib, after poppin’ bottles, he can be there, again, when you need some more of that sweet lovemaking music. This decade is…
Marilyn Manson’s paintings are much better than his music. Just kidding; we love ya, Marilyn! His solo show, Trismegistus, debuted this past December during Art Basel Miami Beach. But if you missed the super-VIP opening, don’t despair — the paintings will still be on display at 101/Exhibit (101 NE 40th…
I had this epiphany last night, while I was sitting at the Churchill’s bar sipping my third Jack and Coke: Every single bar in Miami (and possibly the whole country) has at least one TV set tuned to ESPN at all times. I went outside and saw Penny talking to…
I am a composer of modern music.The video above is my new group, Died in a Plane Crash. Let me explain: One of my current roommates is a sports fanatic. So, while I enjoy my morning coffee, he is watching ESPN Sports Center in the living room area. When I…
This is fact: Cash Money Records, the Southern rap juggernaut that is famously home to Lil Wayne, has never signed a white artist — until now. And that’s just fine with 25-year-old Kevin Rudolf, the label’s latest official act. Not only is he light on melanin, but he’s a guitar…
Entering the World Class Boxing gallery, you notice a waist-high stack of Styrofoam cups. What is this crap? you think to yourself, but you are transfixed. Magic seems to emanate from this sculpture. You look around at the other pieces in the group exhibit (“Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood,” curated…
Since the early Eighties, Henry Rollins has been on a mission. The former Black Flag frontman, now 47 years old, has written countless books of poetry and nonfiction, has appeared in blockbuster movies, hosts his own television and radio talk shows, and has made a number of USO tours in…
Luther Campbell is a serious businessman. “Everyone in Miami who does rap music has worked for me in one way or another,” the former 2 Live Crew frontman says on a recent afternoon at his Miami Lakes home. The man alternately known as Uncle Luke is relaxed, lounging in a…
In the parking lot at Matheson Hammock Park at 8 a.m. on a recent weekday, 20-year-old Selene Cohen is using a 45-pound bow to shoot arrows at a makeshift cardboard target that leans against a tree. The sky is threatening rain. “One thing about iguanas,” she says, “they only come…
You’re standing onstage, handcuffed to a post, wearing a blue g-string and black leather straps over your head and chest. ScaryMary stands over you, six feet tall in her platform shoes, with a thin, manly physique. “You obviously love pain,” she tells you as she twists the clamps on your…
This 5-piece band from California plays Dick Dale style surf-punk, but then they get all crazy and experimental. Having been together for over ten years, the music just flows together so perfectly, that you will be moved. Thu., July 24, 8 p.m., 2008…
