Rolling Loud Announces New York City Dates
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Astrida Valigorsky / Getty Rolling Loud is officially coming back to New York City and best believe it’s going to be lit come the Fall. Yesterday Rolling Loud took to their social media to announce the concert dates and with a pretty cool CGI video revealed that this September 23rd-25th, Citi Field in Queens, New York will be hosting the highly anticipated event. Unfortunately, they didn’t name any artists who’ll be taking the stage this September but judging from the song used in the video (“City of Gods”), we kinda expect the current King of NY, Fivio Foreign to headline the joint. After that it’s pretty much a guessing game as to who’s going to be showing up to perform for the residents of the city that never sleeps. Maybe Bobby Shmurda? Joey Bada$$? A...

Speaking with Dr. Russell Kamer, the medical director of Partners in Safety, a group that fashions drug testing initiatives for employers, was framed to demonize all things cannabis. “Why aren’t people i...

Well—kinda. According to Raw Story, a man who was wearing at the Louvre Museum in Paris woman’s wig jumped out of a wheelchair and smeared cake all over the bulletproof glass case that covered the painting. So the man didn’t actually do any damage to it, which made his display of activism pretty pointless. Like—all he did was cause some poor custodian to have to clean cake off of the glass. Also, what exactly was this man protesting? Well, apparently, the man was declaring that artists should focus more on the planet. Still confused? Well, of c...
