LAMAR, FUTURE, SCOTT RULE ROLLING LOUD

Superstars connected on the Saturday night of Miami's Rolling Loud festival, 7/23, at Hard Rock Stadium. Future tapped Travis Scott for a surprise appearance during his headlining set, marking the latter's first performance since Astroworld 2021 (10 people died of compressive asphyxiation as a result of a crush during Scott's performance). Scott did three of his songs during the Freebandz boss' slot. Future also brought out Lil Durk; joined by Scott, they performed Durk's trap anthem "March Madness."

Kendrick Lamar closed out the weekend on Sunday night, bringing Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers (pgLang/TDE/Aftermath/ Interscope) to the stage. Donning his now-signature crown of thorns, the rapper delivered a stunning set, complete with special guests Kodak Black and Baby Keem, who appear on Mr. Morale.
