Playboi Carti

Ready to greet the flocking masses, Robinson kicked things off by unveiling his latest side-project, a live-exclusive DJ set billed as Air to Earth.

Donda almost comes across like a haunting posthumous album, rushed with a bloated tracklist and various features, but exciting nevertheless.

The rock star of rap has evolved once again, providing some of the zaniest, unconventional mumble rap in the game, this time with a darker, Slash-inspired edge. 

Walking the festival grounds from one stage to another meant wading through a never-ending stream of Rolling Loud party-goers, huddled in groups of friends, united by the mission to have the best time possible.

Juice Wrld’s performance of “Lucid Dreams,” the hit single that brought him into the mainstream, electrified the crowd.

He stated definitively that IGOR is like none of his other albums. Don’t expect a rap album, don’t expect a second Flower Boy.

Treasure Island is a two-day festival that features a lineup geared toward high-energy hip-hop and dance acts on the first day and laid-back rock and indie performers on the second.

Unfortunately, Playboi Carti’s Rolling Loud set Saturday hit none of these marks. The most excited the crowd ever got was before the show when the DJ played A$AP Rocky and Skepta’s song “Praise the Lord.”

Head In The Clouds nails the carefree summer feel, and nostalgic sounds feature heavily. It’s a low-stakes, passably entertaining pop-rap album.
