A rapper spending a night at the club — the gentleman’s club, that is — is like a scientist spending overtime in the lab, or an archivist hitting the microfilm. Yeah, it looks like an OK enough time. There’s booze. There’s bling. There’s your own music roaring over the house…
Pumped-up kicks and a pimp chalice. That’s all you’ll need Friday, October 21, when Foster the People perform live at LIV, and Lil Jon tackles the ones and twos. They’re not playing together. But both acts are scheduled to appear at the Fontainebleau nightclub on the same night. One can…
If you’ve never heard of Prince Royce, get used to his name. The Bronx-raised, 22-year-old Dominican kid writes beautiful songs in both English and Spanish.

Post-Tha Carter II and right up until the year or so after Tha Carter III, you couldn’t get Lil Wayne to shut the fuck up about slugging back big Styrofoam cups of Purple Drank, an unholy brew of soda, jolly ranchers, and cough syrup. He opened his epic-as-the-original freestyle remix of Rich…

Wynwood-based synth-pop quartet Krisp has emerged from the Miami music-and-arts ether to gig around town like an old-school classic rock workhorse. Of course, the band’s done its requisite time at Little Haiti’s portal to seedy England — and Miami’s widest open door for booking — Churchill’s Pub. It’s braved the…
This weekend, Calle 13’s Residente and Visitante will wrap their collective microphone cables around the neck of reggaeton and strangle every last booty clap out of Puerto Rican party music.Which is to say, they still keep the ladies’ hips shaking. But they’ve got a message too. And it’s one that…
