Soda. Now close your eyes. What do you see? Chances are, floating in the tunnels of your subconscious, there’s either a red-and-white Coca-Cola bottle or a blue Pepsi can — maybe a Dr. Pepper for all you rebels out there. That’s no coincidence. It’s called brand association. You think of…
Though the lawsuit has been ongoing for over a decade, Ticketmaster only recently finalized a case over its sneaky service fees, and the justice system agreed that they are, indeed, sneaky. And, apparently, illegal too. So, as part of its $400 million settlement, Ticketmaster announced it would be dishing out…
A week after Kanye West nearly caused a riot in New York City’s East Village with rumors of a surprise show, the rapper has finally announced his much anticipated Saint Pablo Tour. Spanning three months and touching down in 32 cities, the Saint Pablo Tour is sure to be the…

Memorial Day Weekend in Miami means a lot of things. There are parties, of course. And just about every rapper to ever hold a microphone comes to town. There are also less desired things like traffic, and this year we saw some even nastier issues of racism and city-organized attempts…
Six days ago, the unstoppable DJ Khaled shared a short video of himself sitting on a throne next to an actual lion, asking someone behind the camera, “Did the Drake vocals get in yet?” They did, apparently, and then Khaled informed the camera that Major Key, his upcoming debut release…
Peachfuzz normally takes place on the last Friday of every month, but, thanks to the pandemonium of Memorial Day Weekend, it’s been pushed back a week. But this one is worth the wait. Because today, not only will DZA be providing the usual — and very, very good — soundtrack…
With Memorial Day behind us, Miami now can officially start complaining about summer. It’s hot, we all have butt-sweat stains, and the buckle on your seatbelt will burn you like you’ve just insulted its mother. But it’s not all bad news. Because we have music to look forward to. A…
Sometimes I’ll play a game in my head where I imagine a little gnomish man cornering me in an alleyway some dark night. He peels back his purple cloak to reveal a potato-size time-travel machine. This device, he tells me in a creepy French accent, will transport me to any…
Editor’s note: Read part one of this story here: I Sat Next to the Most Heartbroken Man at Bruce Springsteen’s Concert. I think about Warren more than anyone I’ve ever interviewed, and that’s a list that includes a wide spectrum of people ranging from DJ Khaled to a 60-year-old porn star…

There are two ways to know when a meme is officially dead: 1) Ellen DeGeneres does it on her show to a crowd full of confused moms, and 2) when the government gets involved. (Remember when Michelle Obama collectively embarrassed a nation with her take on Lil Jon’s “Turn Down…
On any given day, scooting above the horizon along Miami Beach, they’re there: 260-horsepower, 1,100-pound machines of marketing fury, invincible to any and all ad-blocking technology with the exception of your everyday eyelid. In Miami, the aerial advertising capital of America, modified crop-dusters tow banners seven days a week, hawking…
On April 1, 2016, a single-seat plane circled over Miami Beach with an unusual banner in tow: “CLUB SPACE — PLEASE PAY YOUR BANNER BILL!” The not-so-subtle message was no April Fools joke, but rather the boiling point of a conflict that, according to the company Aerial Banners, Inc., had…
It’s overwhelming. The avalanche of content telling you how you should or should not feel about Beyoncé’s newest album Lemonade is as close as the internet can get to discussing, in unison, a single topic. Kim Kardashian’s greasy butt was a mere ripple compared to what Beyoncé has done to…

Prince stories tend to sound like fairytales. Encounters with the music legend are recalled like unicorn sightings. One minute, you’re just going about your day, and then you turn a corner and, boom, there he is: glistening and surrounded by birds. Eddie Murphy’s older brother Charlie Murphy told perhaps the…
Last night, at the A+E District’s monthly Rooftop Unplugged concert series in Wynwood, Raquel Sofía finished her final song. “This is normally where we’d stop,” she told the small crowd on the roof of the Filling Station Lofts. “But music lost a very special person today.” The Latin Grammy nominee then launched…
