What is BRIDGES?

9 years and still smokin’ ,’ the Los Angeles groove-fest known as BRIDGES continues to bridge the gap between house lovers and hip hop lovers throughout Los Angeles. BRIDGES has been a part of the L.A. nightlife with its notable DJ lineups, inclusive vibe and creative approach to partying. It goes without saying that you’’ll never encounter attitude, velvet ropes or the same old commercial music heard at other hip-hop clubs at this long-running fave, which is surely why it’s lasted so long. What began as a sweaty underground gathering has, in fact, evolved into a mega-cool multifaceted multicultural celebration of music and art, live sounds, painting and percussion, and consistently stellar DJ guests.  On their 9th year anniversary, they return to the location where it all began, Barbarella (formerly known as Zen Sushi)

#THROWBACKTHURSDAY: DRAKE f/ TREY SONGZ – REPLACEMENT GIRL [MUSIC VIDEO]

Thursday, January 26th, 2012

It’s interesting yet remarkable how hip-hop superstar Drake pretty much dominated the internet on his rise to fame and still does now.   Whether it’s a beef with Common, supposed romances with pop-stars (like Rihanna), or even spooofs by comedians and YouTube stars it seems everyone knows exactly who Drake is and every type of video he’s ever made.  With that said we decided to post Drake’s first music video that many had never seen and when it dropped no one had any idea who Drake was.  How things have changed in a short time.  This video was a single from his second mixtape Comeback Season.
