Que Bola?

Arbetter's Hot Dogs is a Miami staple. This year marks their 60th year in business and we couldn't be more proud. We sat down with owner/proprietor of the location and asked him how they were able to pull off such a success. We also got into Westchester culture and what to expect when you open a restaurant. We had a lot fun on this one. Shekitout. IG: @arbetterhotdogs @Davidarbetter

Being a creative in Miami is tough. We sat down with one of the dopest creatives in the city, Cyn Lagos. Her studies lead her to become a professional photographer and graphic designer. She was recently selected by Adobe to be a creative resident for visual language. We discussed what it takes to make it in a place with a small creative community that constantly undercuts each other. Also, she explained how to find your own personal aesthetic and narrative through some soul searching. Needless to say this episode is chalk full of gems for creative entrepreneurs.

Hailing from the streets of Westchester, Fl this gritty filmmaker has cut his teeth capturing the dichotomy of South Florida. His soon to be released documentary Mondo Miami focuses on the two Miami's; the one for the rich, the one for the rest. We chopped it up about a staged viral video, catching a murder of film, and his advice for a novice entering the South Florida film-making community, amongst other topics.

As described by the Miami New Times With reggaeton and Latin trap reaching new heights in mainstream popularity, it's only a matter of time before Miami produces a hitmaker to call its own within those genres. Colombiano James Lance has a good shot at being that artist. Since 2017, he's been working hard on pushing the local Latin-trap scene to the forefront. His style is darker than the stuff by chart-toppers such as Bad Bunny and J Balvin, but his flow remains hypnotic, with hooks in the right place to make sure the songs can't escape your head.  We chopped it up and drooped Gem's.  Shekitout  IG @jameslanceee

In this instant classic we had the opportunity to sit down with the one and only Martha of Miami. Martha has been doing Latin apparel and merchandise going on 4 years now.
