This year, Miami is a little bit more prepared to prevent a repeat or the disastrous crime that happened in the streets of Miami Beach in 2011, where several people were injured during gun fire, where a police officer fatally shot a man in a car who was driving through Collins Avenue under the influence.

The city is now a little bit more prepared and have strategically erectted barricades, established checkpoints, and have orchestrated traffic loops in preparation for a South Beach onslaught of hip-hop heads and booty-licious, bikini babes.

There’s no official site for Urban Beach Week. Clubs all around Miami Beach throw over-the-top parties that range from ultra-exclusive to accessible to everyone and anyone.


But if youre lucky to get into the exclusive VIP parties you may just pop a bottle with hip hop stars like; Kendrick Lamar, Maxwell, Diddy, Kevin Hart, Nicki Minaj, Nas and of course Snoop Dogg. And that’s just a few of the artists on tap to throw huge parties … in the Miami Heat!
