With the biggest rap & hip-hop festival of the year less than a week away, Miami’s Rolling Loud has announced its full schedule of set times for next weekend.

Headlining the festival for 2017’s opening night this Friday will be Lil Wayne and A$AP Rocky. Artists like Lil Yachty, Mac Miller, Curre$y, Flatbush Zombies and more will also perform on Friday.

On Saturday, Kendrick Lamar and Young Thug are set to headline their respective stages, after anticipated performances from Joey Bada$$, XXXTentacion, Run The Jewels, Action Bronson and more.

Last but not least, Future and Travis Scott will close out the festival on Sunday, with supporting sets from Post Malone, Migos and Lil Uzi Vert to name a few.

Unfortunately though, with so many big rappers on one lineup, things are bound to change, and Kevin Gates will no longer perform at Rolling Loud this year, due to legal troubles. The same goes for Kodak Black. But not only has rapper YG been added to the lineup, but one more artist will be added to the lineup (which is currently TBD).

Check out Rolling Loud’s updated lineup and set times below, and get ready for a weekend to remember!

Off his new LP, DAMN., the rapper’s 4th studio album and the follow-up to his critically acclaimed To Pimp A Butterfly, Kendrick Lamar has shared his newest visuals, this time for his track ‘DNA.’.

Recruiting the talents of actor Don Cheadle, the Nabil and Little Homies (Lamar and Dave Free) directed music video starts off with a little bit of humor, as Cheadle portrays a detective interrogating Lamar, grilling him about having two first names. “Two first names, huh. What the f*ck is up with that?”

Cheadle then gets his opportunity to showcase his rap skills, as he lip syncs Lamar’s raps from ‘DNA.’ The video also contains a familiar face, as one of Lamar’s TDE labelmates makes a cameo at the end of the music video. We won’t ruin the surprise for you.

Watch Kendrick Lamar’s new music video for ‘DNA.’ below.

La Flame has blessed us all with the highly anticipated visuals for his Kendrick Lamar assisted single, ‘goosebumps’. Off his critically acclaimed LP, Birds In The Trap Sing McKnight, Travis Scott’s track is easily one of the biggest highlights from Scott’s most recent efforts.

A new video is just one of many things that the ‘antidote’ rapper has to celebrate. Not only did Scott preview two new tracks with the Migos’ Quavo, on Zane Lowe’s Beats 1, but Travis Scott is about to embark on his Birds Eye Tour, which will make a number of stops throughout the country.

Watch Travis Scott’s music video for ‘goosebumps’ below or stream it here via Apple Music.

Week 2 of Round 2 of Kanye West’s highly anticipated GOOD Fridays is finally here, and despite a brief (3 day) delay this week definitely delivered. Following the release of his ‘Real Friends’ record, which was loved by critics and fans alike, this week Kanye blessed us all with the full version of his Kendrick Lamar collaboration ‘No More Parties in LA’.

Kanye’s new album Swish, his first LP since his game-changing 2013 album Yeezus, is only a few weeks away. And if Ye’s first two GOOD Friday tracks of 2016 are indication of what the new album sounds like, then we cannot wait for February 11th.

GOOD Fridays are back in 2016! And to get things back started with a bang, this week gives us two new awesome tracks from Kanye West. The new records, titled ‘Real Friends’ and ‘No More Parties in LA’ are exactly what we have been waiting for from Kanye. ‘No More Parties in LA’ also brings us a highly anticipated collaboration between Kanye and Kendrick Lamar, who first linked up when Ye invited Kendrick on his critically acclaimed Yeezus Tour.

New collabs with Sia, the return of GOOD Fridays, and headlining The Governors Ball, Yeezy season is officially back! Unfortunately though, the version of ‘No More Parties in LA’ that Kanye released on Soundclound (which has since been deleted) is just a sample, of what may be one of the best records that rap will see in 2016.

Listen to “Real Friends” and “No More Parties in LA” here.
