Sneaker Pimps Miami Announces Rick Ross as Its Last-Minute Headliner Alongside Raekwon

Is the great Raekwon, an 11th degree Wu-Tang ninja of the 36 Chambers, not enough for all you limited-edition running shoe obsessives? Apparently not.

Is the great Raekwon, an 11th degree Wu-Tang ninja of the 36 Chambers, not enough for all you limited-edition running shoe obsessives? Apparently not.

I guess that's why Sneaker Pimps just today announced that the Boss Ricky Ross will join the lyrically legendary Chef at the top of tomorrow night's bill. And those two aren't even the extent of it, because rounding out this hot, hot ish are another five freakish entertainers of the highest order: Phil Ade, Gunna Gatsby, Beats Bailey, Thee Tom Hardy, and DJ Keen One.

And even if you don't have the slightest interest in legendary live rap sets by a couple of the game's biggest hitters (not to mention an entire gang of up-and-comers), don't worry your mixed-up little mind: There'll be plenty of other stuff to do.

In addition to the music, the Pimps party will also be this weekend's ground zero for sneaker swaps, a battle called "Suck My Kicks," and live video game demos. So stuff your backpacks full of swag, moisturize your joysticks, and borrow some spending money from your moms, your boo, or your baby's piggy bank.

It's gonna be major.

Rick Ross and Raekwon at Sneaker Pimps Miami. Saturday, October 23. Mekka, 950 NE Second Ave., Miami. Doors open at 8 p.m. and tickets cost $20 in advance via sneakerpimpsmiami.eventbrite.com. All ages. Peep the flyer below and visit sneakerpimps.net.
