Ever wonder “what it sounds like when Miami teams up with Hawaii”? Well, Cris Cab did. So he made a new track called “The Fire.” “Felt like dropping some music for you all,” the local pop-hop crooner announced via Facebook today. “This one features The Green from Hawaii and produced…
What’d y’all do on your 20th birthday? If it was anything like ours, you spent 45 minutes waiting for a table at some generic hibachi restaurant, and the three days thereafter puking up shellfish. If you’re B-list pop royalty, however, you spent the big two-oh mean muggin’ and feelin’ on…
Holy Fucking Ship!! The three-day activities and music schedule for the most massive EDM cruise was just released. And now our pants are a little heavier. There are some returning favorites, like A-Trak’s DJ lessons and Dillon Francis’s mini-golf tournament. There will be wet-dream back-to-back sets, an ’80s prom night,…
Heavy bass, ear-shredding distortion, booty beats, syrupy synths, and prime rhymes. Even though the 305 is a sunny city, it’s definitely got a weird, dark, and dirty side. So while this year’s top local releases were often sexed-up and fun-obsessed, they were also experimental, X-rated, drugged-out, deeply gritty, and unrepentantly…
LeBron James is so #ballswag on the court, he can pop a molly and sweat it out like his first name was Trinidad. In fact, Trinidad James and King James have a lot in common. The rapper gives it up to them “hipster bitches.” The basketballer rides the Miami critical…
Kat and Joel, sittin’ in a tree, T-W-E-E-T-I-N-G…. Experts say that the best marriages are those rushed into after only three months of on-again, off-again dating. Especially when they’re shoved down others’ throats via obnoxiously adorable Instagram photos and nauseatingly cute tweets. So, over the weekend, Joel Zimmerman (AKA Deadmau5)…
The show must go on, even in times of grief. And DJ Shadow was prepared to do just that this past Friday at Mansion, the day America lost 20 innocent school children and six brave educators following the horrific tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Connecticut. “The challenge for…
Who throws a shoe table? Honestly! It appears that “The Beautiful People” of Switzerland reacted rather violently to an “Irresponsible Hate Anthem” issued by Antichrist Superstar Marilyn Manson during his recent trip to Basel. Promoting his latest record, Born Villain, the former South Floridian freak performed at St. Jacob’s Hall…
¡Ay Cojones! Justin Bieber’s balls are safe. Phew. However, Canada’s most popular pair of 18-year-old pop nuts came mighty close to soaking in some sick fuck’s mason jar full of formaldehyde. Police say that convicted murderer and rapist Dana Martin hired Mark Staake and his nephew Tanner Ruane, two men…
The Bawse might not be worried. But the Chicago Police ain’t takin’ chances. After receiving death threats last week from a North Carolina chapter of the Gangster Disciples, Rick Ross rolled up to the 99 Jamz studio to shrug off any beef with the GDs as “one sucka that got…
The Latin Songwriters Hall of Fame’s official mission: “To educate, preserve, honor and celebrate the legacy of the greatest Latin songwriters from all over the world and their music in every genre.” Founded by a Grammy-winning pair of writer-producers — multimillion-selling Songwriter Hall of Fame inductee Desmond Child (Bon Jovi,…
Ultra Music Festival is the best. We here in Miami are super spoiled to have it every year. But don’t you wish you could pick up and take that experience overseas? OMG, you totes can now! Experience the joy of UMF at a greater cost! It’s going to be just…
“I’m a certified man. I am a real boss.” That’s the official Rick Ross response to all the suckas who think that death threats from a North Carolina chapter of the Gangster Disciples could keep the Bawse from doin’ work. Last week, GDs from NC warned Rozay about exploiting the…
On Sunday morning at approximately 3 a.m., latin pop star Jenni Rivera boarded a private Learjet in Mexico, along with two pilots and four other passengers including her publicist, lawyer, and makeup artist. Ten minutes later, they were all dead. The victims of a tragic plane crash in the desert…
The Bawse just canceled the last six shows of his MMG Tour. Earlier today, we here at Crossfade mentioned that two dates in North Carolina got nixed after Ross received death threats from Gangster Disciple members. But now representatives of Maybach Music Group tell us that all concerts till December…
The Bawse is wanted. Just two days after a triumphant hometown throwdown at the Fillmore Miami Beach with his Maybach Music crew, Rick Ross has received death threats from a North Carolina chapter of the Gangster Disciples, a street gang founded on Chicago’s South Side in the ’60s by David…
There have been grumblings about the festival’s unwillingness to refund ticketholders’ cash.
Fun fact: “Music makes the world go ’round.” Well, at least according to the official hype for Ultra Europe, the three-day EDM extravaganza from Ultra Music Festival and Croatian partner company Adria MM Productions. Another fun fact: “Music” (and especially “electronic dance music”) makes early-bird tickets disappear. In ten minutes…
Grammy-tastic! Last night, amid goofy, sexually tense intergenerational banter between co-hosts LL Cool J and Taylor Swift, the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences of the United States announced the nominees for its 54th Grammy Awards, airing Sunday, February 10, on CBS. Genre-bending R&B guy Frank Ocean scored with…
Oh, Trina … Da Baddest Bitch has done it again. And by it, we here at Crossfade mean she accepted a bunch of money and then allegedly bailed on a job. Clearly, Trina is just a bossy chick who’s allotment of fucks ran out a good while ago. Now she…
Putting together a proper showcase for classic Miami bass music in 2012 has proven to be a tall order. Early this year, Uncle Luke hyped up a 20-date “Lollapolooza of Bass music” that he was planning for the summer, featuring a fully reunited 2 Live Crew and support from DJ…
DMX’s first two records, It’s Dark and Hell Is Hot and Flesh of My Flesh, Blood of My Blood, were released in 1998, the same year Larry Page and Sergey Brin founded Google. But if you ask the “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” rapper to Google Google on a laptop, his…
