Foxies, an Actual Hip Hop Club!


Two weeks ago I finally made it to Foxies, a hip-hop club in El Dorado. Me and my buddies rolled in their around 11pm. They played mainstream hip-hop for most of the night and then switched to Reggae as it got late. They had "hype man" on the front stage who was pumping up the crowd while the DJ spun. The crowd was mostly local Black Panamanians in their young 20s. This place is far from fancy like Calle Uruguay and Zona Viva. Everyone in there was vibing to the music and having a good time. Its the kind of place that "some" people might be afraid to go into, because they assume its unsafe...the place is fine.

I was all over the place that night because I was so happy to hear hip-hop music all night long and be in a crowd that appreciated it. I'll definitly go back...too bad its on a Thursday nights.

My only small complaint is one girl gave me a look and started going off on me because I asked her to dance. She started yelling something in Spanish about "I don't know you". Another woman thought I was Brazilian until I asked if she spoke English. Apparently I look nothing like a Panamanian which can be good and can be bad...
