To state that what Lofty305 (of Metro Zu) does is “next-level”, would be an understatement to the finished product that is presented to us each and every time. A few days ago, Lofty went ahead and released the official video for “Mew Card”, one of our favorite cut’s off the previously released project, The Grid. Let’s take a moment to applaud the production of DJ Smokey, whom brings a force you probably have been shamelessly sleeping on (Purple Diamondz Vol. 1 anybody?). “Mew Card” has the tripped out visuals we have grown to love from Metro Zu, but it’s the journey down memory lane that has us smiling. With an overwhelming library of music available to listeners, you’re bound to find an assortment that you thoroughly enjoy from Lofty.

Keenanza has been keeping the Trap sounds on-lock for South Florida, and you may have already recognized the name through his production on the WarBuck$ EP. If you were looking for that weekend mix to play right before you hit the go-to Miami spots, look no further than Keenanza’s set from Trap Tuesday Vol. 1. Not only does Keenanza play through some Miami favorites in SDotBraddy, Pouya, Spaceghostpurrp, Fat Nick, and Rubenslikk, but the man really knows the type of music that brings out all the waves. Hit the stream and download right down below…

This is probably the funniest shit I’ve read/seen all season.

Via Sports Pickle and Don’t Hate Miami

Last night was Episode 07 of SMIRNOFF’s Master Of The Mix which airs every Monday night at 12 Midnight. The show was filmed and based in Miami, Florida recently and we teamed up with SMIRNOFF and MOTM to follow around our guy DJ Fly Guy, as the last local Miami DJ left in the competition.

Unfortunately, last night brought the elimination of Fly Guy. It was an emotional and bittersweet loss for him, but the “Invent Or Get Sent” challenge proved to be a little too much for him to handle.

After taking our Tina T for a surprise elimination battle, Fly Guy and the rest of the DJ’s were asked to create a set that forces you to use the turntable as an instrument via creative scratching techniques, cue points, loops and beat creation. All of the contestants did their best effort with some doing a little better than others, but Fly Guy admitted that this challenge was a little outside his scope since he hasn’t been a DJ for as long as the other contestants. So when push came to shove, the judges (which included special guest judge Lil Jon) were unimpressed and were forced to scratch Fly Guy’s record and send him home.

So there are no more Miami based DJ’s left in the competition, but we are still going to cover the remaining episodes of Master Of The Mix for the next few weeks up until the finals. Next week, the final five of the cast will take on another challenge and we’ll give you the run down. Stay tuned to The305.com for more details or log on to the MOTM website for up-to-date videos and photos.

Taking the art of local up and coming artists from the walls of Miami, FL. and migrating their work around the world via skateboards. The folks behind Wynwood Skateboard are raising funds to bridge the gap between fine art and the youth through the subculture of skateboarding. With the funds they receive they plan on starting a bigger collaboration with street artists and putting more artists out there with more spotlights on them. Also more boards to expand their series up to 6 boards a series. The funds will also help with the remaining costs needed for the following: 1st production run, materials, packaging and shipping along with allowing us to expand our company’s movement and progress the next two artist spotlights into reality.

Not sure if this is still up, but this is a pretty cool picture of a piece that Anthony Lister did on a street in Wynwood. More specifically, NW 22nd Lane and NW 2nd Avenue, behind the Wynwood Lofts building. Pretty dope. Check more of Anthony Lister’s work on his Instagram account by clicking here.

Chris Bosh and wifey Adrienne are having a second child together and NBC’s Roxanne Vargas broke the news. The announcement comes just about a year since their first child was born during last year’s NBA Playoff run. She’s apparently 3-4 months into the pregnancy.

“We’re very excited. We’ve always wanted a big family, so we’re right around that path,” Adrienne Bosh said. “Hopefully two or three more after this and we couldn’t be happier!”

“I just want to be there to tell them that whatever dreams they have, they can still do them as a mother, whatever hopes and aspirations they have, that’s still a possibility,” Adrienne Bosh said.

Congrats to the happy couple. This will make three kids in total for Chris, his oldest being from a previous relationship.

Fresh off his MTV #GetInTheGame segment, SDotBraddy decided to keep his buzz steady with the release of his new single “Like Me”, which features Pouya (whom assisted in bringing the WarBuck$ EP to life earlier in the year). The work ethic of SDotBraddy is certainly commendable, but it’s the actual progression seen through the projects that deserves a standing ovation. With the Private Sessions release due relatively soon, it’s fascinating to see SDotBraddy on his third project in less than a year. We’ve already mentioned some of the artists (J.NiCs, Reese, Retro Jace…) that we should expect to see on this next solo effort, but there is always room for surprises when it comes to SDotBraddy.
