To quote a wise man named Meek Mill, “Dreamchasing is an occupation.” As opposed to a simple hobby or some shit, the act of hustling after one’s essential needs and wildest wishes (e.g. “tryna fix the roof leak,” “tryna keep the house warm,” “tryna touch a million dollars”) should consume…

Curiously, LIV has become Miami Beach’s epicenter of irony. Last week, the Miami Heat’s LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, and Shane Battier reveled in their 2012 championship win at the megaclub, just 375 days after the Mark Cuban-owned Dallas Mavericks bought out the bar to celebrate beating LeBron and company in…

Who’s going to save the world after November 24? Not Swedish House Mafia, because Axwell, Steve Angello, and Sebastian Ingrosso have announced via swedishhousemafia.com that this last leg of tour dates will officially be SHM’s last.

Everyone north of the Suwannee River has been hating on LeBron James and the Miami Heat since the former Cleveland Cavaliers star decided to “take [his] talents to South Beach.” But last night, we shut those haters down. And to commemorate this awesome moment of b-ball glory, ESPN has made…
We heard about Lil Wayne begging Drake to squash the beef between him and Chris Brown earlier this week, but there’s still no word as to whether or not Drizzy’s extended an olive branch. Needless to say, if the New York City scuffle’s really affecting Young Money’s business that bad,…
Here in the 305, we’re not about those fair-weather fans who just jumped on the Heat train in time to pop bottles. But there are some Miami music icons we really thought would be all over this win. But they haven’t made so much as a tweet. Some of these…
If you’re truly reppin’ the 305, you know the Miami Heat scorched it last night, stomping the OKC Thunder and seizing the title of 2012 NBA Champions. For the rest of the weekend, this whole city is going into crazed, half-conscious party mode. And since it’s Miami, you know that…

For the Miami Heat, failure was not an option last night. And not because taking the title would’ve proved that much more difficult in Oklahoma City, but because the post-victory celebration would’ve likely gone down at an Applebee’s and ended at midnight. 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…

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,…
