305's mission has always been to spread love for local artists and their fans, but how the site's organizers turn that love into a full-force action elevates it far above similar sites. Under the leadership of CEO Fillup Banks, in-your-face-and-on-the-streets hustlers such as DJ Mega Mix and U.B. of TrueHardCore Entertainment keep 305 at the forefront by featuring breaking new acts and helping coordinate events such as the recent Vibes and Rides auto extravaganza in Miami. It is a credit to 305's status that acts like Pitbull, whom the site's crew helped on his way up, are now sticking around to help 305 any way they can. With up-to-date interviews and interactive games, 305 never gets stagnant. If nothing is happening, they make something happen. Witness the Made in Dade series of mix tapes. Better yet, just pick up Volume 7, hosted by Dirtbag and Chief Elicedes and featuring Unique, Cubo, Big Chuck and the Ying Yang Twins.
