DJs in Captain’s Hats Steer Yacht Rock to Miami

Two middle-aged guys in loud Hawaiian shirts and captain’s hats puff away on pipes in front of a painted backdrop of an ocean.

No One Killed Themselves at the $uicideboy$ Show, Thank God

Miami rap shows have always had a reputation for being shitty. They’re never complete without underage kids moshing in circles, someone’s girlfriend who doesn’t know the artist but tagged along for the hell of it, and every kind of drug you can imagine being passed around in the pit.
