Ahh, Bougainvillea’s Old Florida Tavern … The quaint, woodsy little shack in the middle of South Miami. It’s an oasis where you can come in with a couple friends, get a cute little table in the garden, and get kersplammered. However, twice a year, Bougies goes Barry Bonds, taking over…
While James Brown was the hardest working man in soul music, Lee Fields is the hardest feeling, dishing out emotional exorcisms with every hoot, holler, and wail. Even the name of his backing band – the Expressions – is loaded with burning sentiment. On Saturday, December 1, Sweat Records will…

When you’re a 50-year-old musician with a $290 million fortune, majority ownership of an arena football team, and a chummy relationship with President Obama, you’re definitely not “Livin’ on a Prayer” anymore.

Ramen noodles, Capri Sun, and a bag of Ruffles basically sums up our diet because we’re poor. But ramen noodles, Capri Sun, and a bag of Ruffles basically sums up Rihanna’s diet because she’s perpetually baked. TMZ got a copy of RiRi’s tour rider this morning and highlighted some of…

Last night, the American Music Awards turned 40. And we know what you’re thinking: WTF the American Music Awards? Well, it’s an ABC tradition, originated by the late, great Dick Clark. It’s like the American Idol of shitty award shows, in that the fans choose the winners by an online…

“Fightin’ fake motherfuckers.” That’s the 24/7/365 mission of self-described “Black God,” seriously mysterious dude, and Miami swag rap visionary SpaceGhostPurrp.
