Fresh off a successful #JaxSummerFest2019, VIPSquad ENT in collaboration with Cultures Clash and ADUH Clothing along with Get Candid Studios is happy to bring back SAUCY SUNDAYS starting October 6th and going to December 8th. Saucy Sundays is a monthly party/showcase event offering yet another platform for regional businesses and talent in the NE Florida/SE Georgia area to shine and connect with potential consumers along with national/visiting businesses & talent. The original re-launch date was labor day weekend 2019, but due to Hurricane Dorian we were forced to reschedule to the second planned Saucy Sundays date, October 6th, the perfect recovery date for those coming down from #BETHipHopAwards weekend in Atlanta, FAMU Homecoming weekend in Tallahassee, and those warming up for #A3C in Atlanta and HU Homecoming weekned in D.C. Our headliner will be the Island Powerhouse Band, a Jax-based Caribbean band comprised of Caribbean natives and 2nd Gen Caribbean Americans, some of whom originate from the Bahamas who were affected directly by Hurricane Dorian. For that reason, we decided to partner with them to accept supply donations to assist our brethren and sistren in and around Abaco, Bahamas. For info, use the contact form on this website or visit SaucySundays2019.eventbrite.com

11/18/2017 -- Two of the most downloaded mixtape series in the south #FreestyleFilez5 and #FLAsFinest5 by the VIPSquad DJs are now available. Visit the VIPSquad DJs Secure Mediafire site for Florida's Finest Vol. 5 [Free Download, Promo Use Only] **Also Available** Freestyle Filez 5 -- Click to Download this FULL mixtape series from VIPSquad DJs Secure Mediafire site -- Visit the "MUSIC" tab at the top of this website to preview both mixtapes on SoundCloud before you download if you prefer.

Freestyle Filez, which is for promotional use only and protected by fair use copyright laws, is the second mixtape series produced by VIPSquad DJs, a music group under Dez Nado's VIPSquad Entertainment. The mixtape series is less party-based than the more commercial Florida's Finest mixtape series and is more focused on celebrating the art form of hip hop, lyricism, and production, in addition to exclusive freestyles and heavy-hitting, bar for bar tracks from indie and major artists. Florida's finest, on the other hand, features Florida's best artists’ original music, and is released during one of the biggest weekends for urban entertainment in the state: The Florida Classic, where hundreds of thousands descend on Orlando to see the two largest HBCUs in the state meet up in an annual football game, culminating in a halftime show featuring Florida A&M and Bethune Cookman University's marching bands. The two mixtape series together have amassed a total play/download count of over 325,000. Quietly, these series are gaining a lot of industry attention and becoming one of the most sought after platforms by both indies and majors.
