You don’t even got to be into booty music to appreciate the ass shakign that will be going on throughout the club.

So yeah its been a minute since ive posted on here but i recently had the opportunity to visit the land of cheesesteaks and freeway look a likes….yup you guessed it Philly. The occasion, the highly anticipated Roots Picnic. The setting, a scorching 102 degree day at the Festival Pier. The artists, The Roots, Gnarls Barkley, Sharon Jones & Dap Kings, J Davey, Cool Kids, Esperanza Spalding, Jazzy Jeff and the sounds of Diplo. Aside from the blistering heat and occasional issues with the mics (Sharon Jones), there were some standout performances.

The opener, Esperanza Spalding is the absolute truth! She’s an extremely talented singer that plays a variety of instruments. J Davey followed with a blazing set, accompanied by Questlove on the drums doing tracks off their mixtape, a cover of the classic Police track “S.O.S.” and the newest Questlove produced track “Turn the lights out”.

A barefoot Sharon Jones took the stage shortly after with the Dap Kings and stole the show in usual fashion by doing traditional west african dances, calling fans onstage and performing with an incredible level of intensity. The Cool Kids had a respectable performance and Diplo kept the crowd hype in the side tent. Gnarls Barkley was stellar even though the fans were not familiar with some of the newer songs off the album prompting Cee-Lo to ask, “damn do y’all have the album?? “.

The best part of the night came towards the end of the show when Black Thought brought Leonard Hubbard on stage and did the classic “Proceed”. Cehck the video above! Seeing the Roots perform is always good but seeing them perform tracks off Do You Want More?? IN PHILLY?? Classic. Best concert of the year up until now, well see how the Brooklyn Hip Hop Festival and Rock the Bells compare. Shouts to my DC Empress crew!

If you catch yourself hanging all around the internets, then you already know who this dude is. If not, then go freshen up your knowledge! Cobra Krames will be spending some time down in the dirty this Thursday. He will be spinning at one of Miami’s best parties right now, MONEY $HOT.

Krame’s style is all about energy. From beginning to end, he plays the hypest tracks, ranging from Bmore to the gulliest electro shit. But not only is he a dope DJ, he is also a dope remixer of the sorts. I’ve posted many of his jams on here before, but just to freshen up your memory, here is what you can expect from the purple shirt wearing monster….

Bangers & Cash - B.O.O.T.A.Y. (Krames REMIX)

This Thursday, February 14th - the lovely Eric Roberson (also known as Erro, clever eh?) will be performing in Miami at the Joseph Caleb Auditorium.

The song that automatically got me hooked on Eric was off of DJ Spinna’s Intergalactic Soul LP - “Butterfly Girl”.

He’s worked with many of Philly’s best- DJ Jazzy Jeff, Jill Scott and Musiq Soulchild. So fellas, if you want to do some major impressing, be sure to take your Valentine to one of the smoothest shows in Miami. Cheers to that!

Kimbo Slice appeared on the Jimmy Kimmel show last night to promote his upcoming fight with Tank Abbott.

Its a pretty interesting interview, as I had no idea that Kimbo has three sons and three daughters. Six kids total? Crazy. And for some reason, he has a fascination with the name Kevin.

Check out that fight on February 16th. Going to be crazy, and its right in our backyard.

So..yesterday Kanye West announced on his blog very sparse details about his Glow in the Dark tour. But everyone I know, myself included, is very excited about the line-up. No dates or cities or any other info has been revealed yet..but if it doesn’t hit Miami…I’m going to be traveling for sure.

The South Beach Comedy Festival kicks off tonight, and will last until January 19 (Saturday). Some of the biggest names in the comedy game will be killing shows all over the South Beach, including places like The Fillmore, Lincoln Theatre, and the Colony Theatre. There will even be some free shows for those on a budget.

Some of the big names attending the festival this year include Katt Williams on Thursday, Kathy Griffin tonight, Jeff Dunham on Friday, and the infamous Dave Attell on Saturday.

Be out there! THe beach will be lively for the next few nights.

Not sure of when and where, but they are coming! According to Billboard.com, the group will be spending a lot of time in the US next summer, with a wide variety of cities all across the country.

It looks like Radiohead will be visiting two cities in Florida, including Tampa and Miami. We’ll just have to wait for the exact date and place.

Until then, here is a dope remix that came out recently. DJ Techincs took their song “Everything Is In Its Right Place” and flipped it into a nice Bmore track.

Radiohead vs DJ Technics - Everything Is In Its Right Place.

Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings played for a packed house last night at the Culture Room. They were down here before about 2 years ago, but the crowd was not as thick. However, with the help of Amy Winehouse’s success, and the Dap-Kings musical backing on her platinum album, this modern brand of funk is making its big waves across the states.

Simply put, this is one of the most solid bands out there right now. The homie Wrekonize was at the jam and recorded some videos. I feel hesitant posting them up because you really need to experience this band in person. But nonetheless, this is for the lost souls who missed the show.

The Dap-Kings warming up the crowd.

Sharon Jones kicking killing it with great stage presence.

Busta Rhymes is invading South Beach this Friday night. He will be performing at Mansion. Seems like he’s down here a lot, but I have yet to see him perform. Seeing him on TV or on other performances on line seems unreal. This guy has so much energy on stage.

Check him out in the video above where he’s chilling in the studio talking crap with the homies. He speaks on the current state of rapper’s beefing over stupid shit, and how Michael Jackson owns everyone.
