Hey Zaddy. If you're into the vibe of Kat Dahlia and others like her and Lopez etc, do yourself a favor and head to Miami for a few days when you can. My wife and I went a number of years ago and man, talk about a different world than what we're used to. We were staying downtown, took a cab to South Beach, and the cabbie went through a district (one of a **** load), where he wouldn't stop. For nothing.
South Beach was righteous...just don't take a wrong turn in that city and end up in a hood. My wife and I did as we were walking and wondering what was up with people looking out their windows at us in dilapidated houses. We got bailed out by an old black dude who I asked for directions as he rode his bike towards us. All he said was "don't be going this way, that's the hood. Go the other way". We took his advice.
