Mixtape Review: Bonus – ‘Here Goes Nothing (Mixed by DJ Rob Riggs)’

It can be said that most musicians look the part they play and to be quite honest, Bonus doesn’t look like he can rap. At all. You could say that’s his charm. He has been a part of the South Florida Hip-hop scene for years, but it is only now he is making his presence felt. Equipped with a sharp tongue and a great ear for sounds, he is taking the hip-hop world by storm with his new mixtape “Here Goes Nothin’” mixed by DJ Rob Riggs. At 29, he’s spent half of his life honing his craft as an MC... Read More →

Wake Forest Baseball Coach Leads by Example

Brian Westerholt/Sports on Film Coaches like to talk about sacrifice, giving it all for your teammates, and winning and losing as a team. In baseball, more so than any other sport, an individual’s achievements can alter the outcome of an entire season. Whether it’s a twenty game winning pitcher, a forty homerun hitter, or a closer that never blows a save, one player can make or break your team, and your season. Which is why you see the inflated player salaries, and that me, myself, and... Read More →

Album Review: Stereo Phlyer – “The Dawn”

Being exposed to all sorts of music growing up in the melting pot that is Miami, Florida, Stereo Phlyer has developed an extremely cultured ear due to his multicultural surroundings. Excelling in the school of the boom-bap, he has carved his way through all of the bland producers who consider their music either original or cutting edge. Working with major heavy hitters in the Miami hip hop scene all while  providing them with hard hitting productions. Stereo’s unique taste in sample selection... Read More →

Impromedy in DWNTWN: Front Yard Theatre Collective

Times of desperation force us into a realm of creativity we never knew we’d be capable of. That’s the story of The Front Yard Theatre Collective, which spawned from good old fashioned boredom. Allow me to paint a picture many of you will be all too familiar with: Summer has come around to Doral in 2010 and everyone has plenty of time on their hands. No classes and no jobs, no internet and no TV. I’m not sure if we hit record high heat last summer, but something (delirium? heat... Read More →

R.I.P. Fernando Rafael Heria, Jr.

Sadly, for the second week in a row at Antisteez, we have been hit with the news of yet another great person being taken from us just way to soon. Early Monday morning we lost a person known to most as one of the friendliest and enigmatic members of the South Florida cycling community. I did not know Ferny extremely well, but I can tell you that on the rides and beers we share, Ferny was always cracking jokes and making those around him feel very welcome. One of the hardest riders in Miami, Ferny... Read More →

The Wounded Warrior Project – Send a Thank You Letter to the Troops

Attention ladies, germs, and all fellow ‘steezers. I usually stick to my bats, balls, and pucks here on the ‘steez. But there is a subject that is near and dear to my heart that I must share. Those of you that know me personally, know that my father is a combat wounded Vietnam Veteran. If not for his perseverance, and the care of the medical staff, I would not be here all up in your grill. The Wounded Warrior Project is a non-profit organization, that is dedicated to raising awareness... Read More →

The Decemberists Are Planning To Make A Musical

I love The Decemberists, but I’m not much of a musical person except maybe The Phantom Of The Opera, Chicago, and Grease. I was supposed to catch their show last year at Revolution, but shit went down and I couldn’t do it after all. The Decemberists are not the first band out there to create such an idea because Green Day was one of those bands that did exactly that for the Green Day American Idiot Musical. I think personally I would be interested in seeing The Decemberists doing their... Read More →

(AP, Getty Images) I have been out of town, and without my laptop for a few days, so I have missed a few days of writing. So what I’m going to do now is just take a quick glimpse around town, and see what’s going down, ya dig? It seems as though the last few years our teams have been stuck in “Averagetown”. Not quite good enough to make consistent playoff runs, but not quite bad enough to warrant the high draft picks that may deliver right away. The problem with this usually... Read More →

Oh, Sweet…Suite 100

What’s the first thing you notice when walking into a restaurant? The atmosphere, the smell, the bar, the setting. Well, at this grand opening, I couldn’t help but to notice the same things. From outside, I saw that the guests seemed delighted to be there, the bartenders were enjoying themselves and lolly-gaging with their customers, and the building was surrounded by fancy yachts and cobblestone floors. Yes, Suite 100 in Fort Lauderdale’s Riverfront was doing it…doing it... Read More →
