Instead, the Heat closed the series out at…
Drop The Lime is the slick-haired, black-clad leader of New York’s Trouble & Bass crew, though you might mistake him for a vampire if you saw him on the street. He’s been DJing for about a decade. But he’s recently hit his stride, creating his own unique sound by incorporating…
Last night, Rick Ross sold out Miami, choosing to get high in the Caribbean over the Magic City and foregoing an opportunity to watch his Miami Heat win the NBA title. “I’m in Jamaica relaxing,” Rozay tweeted just three hours before tip-off. “Smoke one.” While puffing Kingston kush and kicking…
See the full 32-photo slideshow of Explosions in the Sky at Grand Central. Better Than: Going half-deaf because of old age. When Explosions in the Sky begins to play, there’s something almost disorienting about it. For most fans, this is headphone music. But last night at Grand Central, the band’s…
Miami can trace its royal bass lineage all the way back to ’80s booty clappers like Maggotron and the 2 Live Crew, if not earlier. Does the ’70s disco-funk groovage of Miamians KC and the Sunshine Band count as booty bass music? They did pen the 1976 hit “(Shake, Shake,…
Forget learning how to “Dougie,” it’s all about the “Throw That Dick,” hip-hop’s latest dance craze.

Few countries ball as hard as Colombia, just ask the United States Secret Service. Whether kicking it with beautiful women or shooting aguardiente, those dudes couldn’t resist Colombian charm, succumbing to Cartagena’s nightlife and potentially jeopardizing national security along the way.
