While 2017 marked the third year for Miami’s Rolling Loud music festival, this was the first year that the festival really skyrocketed to its elite status. Rivaling lineups from top tier festivals like Coachella, Lollapalooza and Bonnaroo, Rolling Loud put together arguably the greatest rap and hip-hop lineup in the history of music festivals. With top names in rap like Kendrick Lamar, Future, Lil Wayne, Migos and Travis Scott and emerging stars like Jazz Cartier, XXXTentacion, 21 Savage and more, everyone in attendance this past weekend saw 3-days of amazing performances that they will not soon forget.

Today marked the opening day, of what might go down as the best rap lineup in the history of music festivals, Rolling Loud 2017. With not only a big upgrade in its lineup, the Miami rap festival also kicked things off in its new location, Bayfront Park, which also hosts the mega-EDM festival, Ultra.
With over 2/3 of the lineup left to go, today alone, fans saw memorable performances from rap superstars like Lil Wayne and A$AP Rocky, as well as great sets from Lil Yachty, Curren$y, Rich Chigga, Mac Miller, Flatbush Zombies, Kembe X, Larry June and more!
Check out our photos below, of what Day 1 of Rolling Loud had to offer in 2017. We hope to see everyone at Bayfront Park tomorrow, when gates open at noon!
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).

So while anyone can enjoy Rolling Loud, whether stone cold sober or a rolling loud stoner, we are celebrating 4/20 with music, by sharing our 10 Most Anticipated Performers for Rolling Loud!
Last night Lil Wayne brought his Kloser 2 U Tour with GOOD Music’s Cyhi The Prynce to a packed house at the Orpheum Theatre in Madison, Wisconsin. While the night had its highs and lows, the night certainly got off to an amazing start with Cyhi’s supporting performance, but Lil Wayne’s shortened set (although great while it lasted) left his college fans wanting more.
Up first for the night was Kanye West’s GOOD Music artist and writer, the Grammy-nominated Cyhi The Prynce. The Stone Mountain native instantly got the crowd energized, showcasing his untouchable lyrics and amazing wordplay. Cyhi opened his set with some of his tracks like ‘No Dope’ and ‘Legend’, but it was his melody of GOOD Music features (mostly from the label’s Cruel Summer LP) that got the night started on a high note.
Fans rapped along as Cyhi spit his memorable verses from ‘So Appalled’ and ‘Sin City’, before Cyhi closed his set with 2017 single, ‘Nu Africa’. While Cyhi The Prynce came into the scene with his show-stealing guest verses, it’s his new solo records that will help him rise in the ranks of rap. Cyhi The Prynce definitely picked up some new fans in Madison tonight.
After a brief intermission, as crew set up for the night’s headlining performance, it was time for Lil Wayne to hit the stage. As Weezy emerged in his custom Brett Favre jersey, the Young Money MC could have started his set off in a better way. The Packer fans throughout the crowd screamed, as Wayne performed hit track after hit track.
Lil Wayne’s performance began to lose momentum though as he brought a number of guest performers onto the stage. While many of Wayne’s Young Money rappers were pleasant surprises, fans would soon learn that these emerging artists were taking time from Wayne’s set. After Lil Wayne dedicated about 15 minutes of his performance to guest performers, the rap legend only performed a few more songs before saying his goodbyes. Wayne’s performance was memorable and energetic while it lasted; however it only lasted for about 40 minutes. When it was clear that Wayne would not return for an encore, some (of the more drunk) fans began to throw their drinks at the falling curtain.
Twice during his performance Lil Wayne detailed three things to the crowd. 1. We all are nothing without the man upstairs. 2. Wayne is nothing without his fans. And 3. (again) he is nothing without his fans. However many of his fans last night were left scratching their heads, wondering if number 2 and 3 are nothing more than lip service after the short headlining performance.
Check out our photos of Cyhi The Prynce’s performance below, and be sure to get your tickets to one of the remaining dates of the Kloser 2 U Tourhere.
While Lil Wayne has yet to take to social media to make the announcement himself, Weezy will embark on his Kloser 2 U Tour this spring. With dates from March until May, Lil Wayne will make stops all throughout the country.
Lil Wayne will bring performances to Anaheim, Minneapolis, Dallas, Madison, Nashville and many more cities, so there is no excuse to not catch the Cash Money rapper on the road in 2017. Stay tuned as more dates and opening performers are announced. Tickets for most dates are on sale now, so get your tickets now before they are all sold out.

New Orleans rapper Young Greatness is attaining a lot of hype in the rap world with the success of his breakout single ‘Moolah’. And only helping his come up, which he has built online and on the radio, Young Greatness has recruited two huge names for ‘Moolah’s’ official remix, with Lil Wayne and Yo Gotti. NOLA and Memphis team up on this one and it definitely works.
A previous University of Miami recruit, where Young Greatness was on track to play football, the rapper left school after the passing of his father. After he left school and returned to the Seventh Ward projects, and later getting locked up, this artist has shifted his talents from football and hustling to rapping, and it couldn’t be going any better. Young Greatness has some huge co-signs, his new remix is bound to blow up, and he is one of the most exciting rappers to come out of Louisiana in quite some time.
