According to Pepe Billete, “pata sucias” can be found at clubs all over Miami, shaking their drunk asses for the world to see, and stomping their dirty bare feet on club floors without a care in the world. Personally, we think that’s a beautiful thing. But there are a lot…
Bey is back. After a publicity tour touting her hot post-Blue Ivy bod on the covers of dudely mags like GQ (and despite scandalizing America by lip-syncing “The Star-Spangled Banner” at Obama’s inauguration), Beyonce made her big return last night at Super Bowl XLVII. She rocked a supertight, sweaty leather…

Who is Rell the Soundbender? Ask the man himself and the answer’s gonna be something like “I’m an NBA junkie, nerd, and part-time superhero.” But homie’s also a DJ-producer with Panamanian roots who was born in Virginia and ran the streets in the FLA. Since 2004, he’s been doin’ work…
HeRobust The Stage, Miami Wednesday, January 30, 2013 Better Than: Having some sick trap artist in from Atlanta, only to watch him leave. Miami crowds are famous for their love of House music, and moombahton is quickly becoming all the rage, but it wouldn’t be fair to say Miami hasn’t…

Corrections House With Shroud Eater and Holly Hunt Presented by Speedfreek Churchill’s Pub, Miami Wednesday, January 30, 2013 Better Than: Not being “destroyed,” “annihilated,” “depressed,” and “confused” on a Wednesday night.

The week has ended. And as always, there’s tons of solid live music goin’ down. For the first time in months, local indie outfit Plains and friends are crashing Churchill’s Pub. Or if you’d rather “party,” go meet quintessentially MIA dance-pop duo Afrobeta at The Stage. Of course, that ain’t…

Rick Ross is having a party! The Grammy-nominated Maybach Music Group guru and Wingstop franchisee will attend Sunday service at LIV, celebrating his 37th birthday with a Bawse party.

Maybach Music recording artist and Rick Ross protégé Meek Mill just can’t escape the heat. And we’re not talkin’ poolside piña colada. Or spicy jambalaya. We’re refering to a big ol’ bloody slab of ol’ fashioned beef. And if Mill doesn’t watch his step, he might veer off the fast…
It’s that time of year, beat freaks. The MIA is being flooded with uhntz-uhntz. And contributing to this dangerously rising tide, the Opium Group has just revealed eight shows at four clubs for Miami Music Week 2013. Oh, and that’s only Phase One. From March 13 to 24, a relentless…

For less than what’d it cost to sit in the last row of the American Airlines Arena to say that you saw Taylor Swift live and in-person, you and a date can dance rueda mere yards from Puerto Rican-born, Miami-based salsero Marlow Rosado. Apples to oranges, you say? Well, they’re…
Project Pat EVE, Miami Friday, January 18, 2013 It was a rap show. So in the tradition of rap shows, EVE was turned into a battleground state for real and/or true hip hop. And Project Pat — Three Six Mafia affiliate and Juicy J’s real-life brother — was the guest…
