Rick Ross on Maybach Music Group: “We the Miami Heat of Hip-Hop”
Holy rolls! Rick Ross (AKA The Bawse) is gonna appear shirtless and covered in ice on the cover of this month’s Rolling Stone as he continues to push God Forgives, I Don’t. But thanks in part to Crossfade contributor Jesse Serwer, we don’t have to wait to get inside the…

Voices of Black Talk Dance Battles, Partying With Models, SpaceGhostPurrp’s Raider Klan
The international house scene has seen a major paradigm shift in recent years. Stark and soulless minimal techno gave way to deep melodic soul and slow-mo grooves, with the influences of disco, rare groove, and even hip-hop seeping into the four-on-the-floor mold and breaking it. The start of this sonic…
MTV Exploits “Latino” Vote, VMAs to Include Appearance by Real-Life “Latino Artist”

Cat Power’s Sun: The Miami Listening Party at Sweat Records on September 4
See also “Cat Power Announces Sun North American Tour, Kicking Off at Grand Central in Miami.” Given the historical precedent, a polite listening party at a quirky record-and-coffee shop like Sweat Records might be the safest option if one were jonsing for an earful of Chan Marshall.

Stripped: The Show Brings Bulging Dong Slings Dangerously Close to Your Eyes on August 29
Sometimes, it seems as though half of the people we here at Crossfade meet are dudes. And yet very few of them are oiled-up studs, shaking their bulging dong slings in our face. Chin up, though. Because Stripped: The Show is coming to the Martini Bar at Gulfstream Park in…
The Quotable Gunplay: “Hos,” “Pills,” and the “Gift and Curse of Being Under Rick Ross”
Gunplay is not one to hold his tongue. The Maybach Music rapper offered so much colorful commentary during the interviews for our recent two-part feature (“How Miami’s Coke-Sniffin’, Po’ Pimpin’ Maniac Joined Rap’s Power Circle” and “Gunplay on His Swastika Tattoo, Starting Escort Agency, Rebranding Himself as Don Logan”), we…

Shaun Reeves and Russ Yallop Take Kontrol at Mansion Miami on August 23
We’ve gotta give props to the folks at Kontrol Miami.

Given the chance, the promoters…

The Weeknd Announces Show at the Fillmore Miami Beach on October 17
He’s perhaps the most unrecognizable face in modern R&B, often photographed while hiding amid dark shadows. But Abel “The Weeknd” Tesfaye’s music is anything but unfamiliar, especially if you’ve stumbled across a indie music blog over the past year. With three mixtapes, a co-headlining spot at the Coachella Valley Music…

Who Wants Free Tickets to Flo Rida’s “Hey Jasmin” Party at Bamboo Miami Beach?
Oh, Flo Rida loves you. He’s tossing ’round extravagant compliments like, “Your body is so versatile!” And he’s shouting out eroticized orders like, “Back it up! Move this low! Push it on me!” And he’s even stroking your self-esteem with observations like, “You know… Your ass is amazing!” Huh? What?…
