For a semi-professional pothead, Nola spitta Curren$y is a surprisingly superproductive dude. Over the last 27 months, he’s somehow smoked endless amounts of kush while still finding the energy and personal motivation to drop five studio albums (2009’s This Ain’t No Mixtape and Jet Files, 2010’s Pilot Talk I and…
The last time Crossfade got weird with the O’Grime boys, we bumrushed a Taco Bell, scrubbed ourselves down with Mexican meat, and wasted $400 on 15 minutes with a stripper slathered in nacho cheese. In a word, it was awesome. And really, there’s only one scenario that might get mo’…
When 65-year-old glam god and gentleman pop star Bryan Ferry packs his bags, he doesn’t just bring sheet music. Really, go steal a quick glance at the Facebook photos from the first few weeks of his Olympia world tour … All handsomer-than-thou in an undone bow tie and disheveled suit,…
Have you ever dreamed of spending an entire weekend rollin’ with Flo Rida and DJ Irie, kicking it with Mr. Mariah Carey (AKA Nick Cannon), and shaking your ass for a good cause with renowned philanthropist and fictional character Carlton Banks? Well, get ready for Irie Weekend 2011 ’cause that’s…
Back in March, after running game out of Transit Lounge for eight straight months, the Rising hip-hop series and the tag team behind the enterprise (clothing kingpins Last Rights and rap producer Numonics) decided to take 90 days away from the grind to regroup, re-up, and reorganize. But finally, the…
A few months ago, Crossfade initiated an intense letter-writing campaign in an attempt to bully (er, woo?) a bunch of our favorite indie bands into booking Miami shows. And while certain targets of our stalker-ish affections, like Fleet Foxes, have steadfastly ignored our pen-and-paper threats (er, pleas?), there are other…
Like the unrepentantly skeezy, unexpectedly political monthly porno mag he founded, edited, and expanded into a worldwide publishing empire, Larry Flynt has been “hardcore since ’74.” That’s the official tagline at least. But really, Flynt’s wild and seedy misadventures actually stretch all the way back to the day — November…
Warning: Just five minutes with 74-year-old surf rocker Dick Dale and his infamous Fender Strat could cause spilled Mai Tais, random outbreaks of retro dance moves (e.g. the Swim or Splashin’ Round), and lifelong hearing loss. But that doesn’t mean Dick’s a brutal dude. In fact, he’s basically a nice…
When was the last time you got right with Jah? A day? A week? A month? A year? An entire bloody decade? Whatever the case, it’s never too early to work some of those kinks out of your soul. So go smoke a little herb, fast for four days, re-dread…
Think it’s kinda redonkulous that the Dirty South’s king of cartoon rap, Ludacris, has been tapped to host the afterparty for a classy Saturday night with the Florida Marlins, Arizona Diamondbacks, and America’s pastime? Well, you’re wrong ’cause Mr. Chris Bridges and baseball go together like Conjure Cognac and Crackerjack…
Argentine pop star Diego Torres is a patriot, a proud citizen of the Western Hemisphere, and a total soccer junkie. Just last week, Torres debuted a catchy little ditty called “Creo en America” (“Believe in America”), a feel-good, finger-snapping slice of Pan-Americanism that he helped write specifically for the Copa…
If you haven’t already met spacey soul singer Miguel (or pirated his debut album All I Want Is You), here are some fun facts. He was born 24 years ago in San Pedro, California. He’s got black hair, brown eyes, stands 5’7″ short, and weighs 135 pounds. He is half…
The Internet has always been a cesspool of rumors, misinformation, and innuendo. But the rapid rise of the blogosphere, the Facebook boom, and the viral proliferation of Twitter have cranked up the online noise to about a billion decibels. And the latest debunked bit of web bullshit: Some hearsay that…
