Red Bull Dance Your Style Miami Was A Fitting Precursor For U.S. Finals In Washington D.C.
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Red Bull / Red Bull Content Pool Dance is often explained as movements set to rhythm and while that is indeed accurate, the description fails to capture the artform’s many complexities. This past weekend in Miami, the final Red Bull Dance Your Style qualifier event ahead of the U.S. Finals provided thrills, twists, and turns, not unlike the skills displayed by the syle masters who took to the dance floor. Hosted in the sunny backdrop of The Magic City, Red Bull Dance Your Style Miami was held at the world-famous LIV and hosted by Florida native and multifaceted entertainer, MyVerse. Unlike Red Bull BC One where there existed a panel of guest judges, this event featured no judges, no pre-chosen music, and an innovative fan vote feature that, at times, spar...
REWIND: Red Bull SoundClash 2021 To Kick Off On November 30
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Red Bull / Red Bull The culture of the sound clash — where two sound systems helmed by a DJ or MC battle one another — dates back to the 1950s and has evolved over the years into other forms of musical competition. Red Bull, having previously organized this style of audio battling in times past, has resurfaced its high-energy Red Bull SoundClash event, which kicks off late next month and features a bevy of music’s brightest stars. Taking inspiration from the sound system clashes of lore, RedBull SoundClash uses the same model but this time featuring two artists, musical groups, or DJs to take on one another while using the crowd’s reaction to their performances measured by a decibel meter to determine the winner of the rounds across four rounds.

Kanye West Meets With Michael Cohen In NYC While Donning Weirdo White Man Mask
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: WENN.com / WENN Well, now that Kanye West is officially and legally named Ye, it looks like he’ll be reworking his entire persona as he’s been spotted walking around in a new and weird face mask that lowkey resembles Uncle Fester from The Addams Family. According to Page Six, Kanye West wore a new prosthetic face-mask to meet ex-Trump lawyer Michael Cohen for some coffee on the Upper East Side. Kanye wore the same mask a day earlier when he was spotted at JFK airport. While it’s goofy enough that Kanye is walking around looking like a broke white man, it’s strange that not only was he meeting with Trump’s old “fixer,” but he was also slated to meet with another politically connected figure in New York City.

“Pretty Dark Loud”: How My Most Challenging Times Inspired My First Album
This is an opinion column. The thoughts and viewpoints expressed are those of the author, Anderson Benoit Gallegos, proprietor of The Mersiv Sound Project.
