Two weekends ago, I left LA and headed to Palm Springs, CA. Ace Hotel was holding events all weekend long during Coachella. The whole event was dope. One big pool party. Live music everywhere. What more could you ask for? Oh and I can’t forget about Rudy’s Barbershop giving away free hair cuts since I...
The Return of 4eva tour hit Chicago on Saturday night at Bottom Lounge. In case you’ve been asleep since then, it was pretty crazy and involved a surprise appearance from Young Jeezy, who presented Freddie Gibbs with a CTE chain (watch the video). Check out what else went down in these pics from RH’s Virgil...

The video was directed by RubyHornet’s Virgil Solis and...
Freddie Gibbs kicked off Digital Freshness at Beauty Bar with a pre-Pitchfork Festival party. VIPJ and RTC were on the 1′s and 2′s, and a good time was had by all. No joke, things got wild afterward (see here)… Check out pics from Virgil Solis after the jump and look for the video later this...
In simplest terms, Digital Freshness is RubyHornet’s new weekly event that takes place each Thursday at The Shrine. But we don’t do anything simple, so Digital Freshness is actually much more than that. The weekly event takes some of the Internet’s top noisemakers and brings them offline and into The Shrine for an intimate performance...
Naledge hit up Little Brother’s final Chicago show last week, and snapped some pics. He sent them our way, and boom…. They are below.
