Poplife is always banging regardless of who the special guests are thanks to resident DJs Induce, Aramis, Mike Deuce, and Benton.

But it will still be refreshing to see her in Miami. She doesn’t seem to make it out here that often, and now has a brand new record to push. Here is the video to her big single out right now “Might Like You Better”.

Here she is featured on a Yuksek track, “Extraball”. Another nice video.

And here is my absolute favorite, Viking’s remix to her song “Shame On Me”. I put this song on my latest mixtape, “Getting Late & I Don’t Mind”.

Don’t miss this!

The latest thing he’s been working on is a side project with Armand Van Helden, in which they are called Duck Sauce. They are literally taking it back to house basics by sampling old school disco, and slapping some hip-hop hop drums over them. I can’t wait!

Update: A-Trak did a little hotel review video for the Fontaineblea. Who else is better to give hotel reviews and advice than a dude who travels constantly.

I like how they made the video too. Pretty fresh. Funyn to see the pilot from the Cocaine Cowboys movie up in there as well! Cocaine rappers plus a real life cocaine smuggler. Good times!

A good example of their work is their well known remix for Rihanna’s smash hit “Umbrella”. They gave it a whole new sound, making it grimey enough for the hipster kids, but still clean enough to rock regular clubs.

Whitney Houston – I’m Every Woman (VNDLSM Remix). Here’s another taste of their work, with their amusing remix of a classic 80s jam. SO come out for good tunes and good women. Whats even better is that there will be free Red Stripe to go around tonight. Yes mate, from 11-12 get your free booze on.

Brought to you by Public Wizard, MURK’d Miami, OkayPlayer, and Stones Throw themselves, this show will be free for RSVP guests. Set in one of South Beach’s newest revamped venues, this show fits right into the Art Basel week with live paintings going on throughout the show. Parable will be performing, as well as Rashaan.

Madlib will be throwing down one of his usual eclectic DJ sets, which I’m sure will include a bunch of exclusive and unreleased remixes by the genius himself. He always kills it when he comes down during WMC… But its dope to finally see him on another occasion.

Here are a couple of my favorite Madlib related videos. The first is “Slim’s Return” off of the special jazz/instrumentaql record he made using Blue Notes’ master recordings. The second one is of course the infamous cartoon video for Madvillian’s “All Caps”.

The show will take place two nights in a row this upcoming weekend, October 17 and 18 (Friday and Saturday). He will be performing alongside Teressa Barcelo as she does her own showcase. It will be $10 for students, and $15 for general admission.

I’ve mentioned this show the last time he performed it way back, and I must say you really have to see this. My words won’t do it justice though, so check pout this short promo video with the star himself talking about it.

Full band and all, Jay performed for about an hour and a half. Classic song after classic song, with lots more to go. The place was packed with people from front to back. I had to scuffle around a bit to get a spot near the railings in the middle-right (no pics). Had a good view as Jay commanded the stage solo with a presence that only few have mastered. Memphis Bleek came out a few times to back him up, and even performed a couple of his hits. And of course, the unexpected Wyclef Jean opened up with a nice set.

I tried browsing around the interwebs for some videos of the show, and couldn’t find too many good ones. Here are a few that might show a glimpse of the energy from the concert. They are a little shaky, with overblown bass, and not too clear. Point being, get your ass some tickets next time fool!!!

Minority Report + P.S.A. Probably the deepest track off of the Kingdom Come album, Minority Report was perfect for the occasion. Bashing Bush in front of hundreds (thousands?) of Obama supporters is a good look. And of course, P.S.A., probably one of his hypest tracks. THat shit rocked the place!!!!

Jigga What. Its amazing how many classic hits Jay has. This is one of those forgotten jems that he seems to pull out at all concerts. The drumming wasn’t as hot as the Unplugged version with Questlove, but still was dope.

Like I said, not much too look at, but at least its something. For a longer video which includes the Wyclef portion of the show, check out this video shot by Godfree from GamerTagRadio.com. And for some nice photos, check out Dro at The305.com.

HOLLA!!!!

This Sunday, Jay-Z will be performing in a free concert in conjunction with the Obama campaign. Apparently, he’s doing a few dates, and Miami is one of them! Its all going down at the Bayfront Park Amphitheater at 8:30PM.

HELLS YEA!!!!!

I’ve never seen Jay-Z, and I’m sure most of you haven’t He hasn’t been down in Miami much. But damn, for free?!?! Looks like they are trying to get young people to register to vote. The deadline to register is the Monday after.

So to get your tickets, you gotta show up at one of the Obama campaign offices tomorrow and ask for some. I think its only 2 per person. So go out with a crew of people and save me some! Check this link for more details!

Bonus jam for the Fresh Basil kiddies: Jay-Z – Dope Boy Fresh (Jokin’ Jay-Z) (Don Rimini REMIX)
