Independent Journalism in Miami Needs You
We need to raise $10,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
When it comes to making a regional song into a global phenomenon, gotta hand it to Jay-Z. “Empire State of Mind” isn’t disappearing from the airwaves any time soon (although we’re partial to his “Brooklyn’s Finest” featuring Notorious B.I.G.).

Enter Pompano Beach’s Kie Money, a speedy lyricist who has the 954 on his mind and in his heart, and his fresh track “Welcome to Broward County.” Currently streaming at 954 Hip-Hop, the track manages to pack Tamarac, Margate, Sunrise, and load of other South Florida concrete jungles where dreams are made.
