As the birthplace of mob music, hyphy, and Tupac Shakur’s rap career, the Bay Area will always have a special place in hip-hop history. In the third year of Rolling Loud invading the Bay area, the festival decided to expand with not one, not two but THREE stages, a basketball court, a skate park, a beauty bar, a cereal bar, art installations, a phone charging station and a lot more water stations (you know for the ragers.)

It helped that Rolling Loud accommodated VIP guests with a Beauty Bar providing everything you could possibly need from chewing gum, q-tips, eyeliner, hand sanitizer, makeup remover, deodorant and more. You could also sit back, relax and get your hair and makeup beat by one of the many on-site beauticians. 💅

Attendees could take a break from all the raging to go play a quick game of basketball at the official Rolling Loud basketball court or if you are skateboard savvy go hit a few 360 spins at the Monster Energy Drink skate park.

A fun addition to the festival was the cereal bar where for $20 bucks you could purchase a box of delicious and fruity, “Loud O’s,” created by Rolling Loud founders Tariq Cherif and Matt Zingler.

Throughout the festival, fans were able to enjoy and munch on an array of food truck options such as infused Asian, specialty tacos, customized pizza, cold ice cream, and gourmet alcoholic drinks.

To stay hydrated and refreshed all day long Rolling Loud provided a plethora of beverage options like Tecate, Monster Green Tea and you could even keep the rage going with a delicious Four Loko. 🤪

Overall, besides the usual minor hiccups, Rolling Loud festivals continue to set the tone for how a Hip-Hop festival should be and they definitely didn’t disappoint this time. Read our top 10 moments from Rolling Loud Bay Area after the jump!

3. YG secured the bag with Kehlani 💰

In a special guest performance, YG headlined the festival on Saturday with an incredible set bringing out his new love and Bay area royalty, Kehlani.

YG established his set with a beautiful Nipsey Hussle tribute and precedently shared with fans that he considers the Bay his “second home.” Ain’t no party like a YG party though as he got into hits like “Twist My Fingers,” “Big Bank,” “My Nigga,” “Why You Always Hating,” and “SUU WHOOP.”

One thing about the 4REAL 4REAL rapper is that he doesn’t like snitch and let it be known in his performance of “Stop Snitchin.” Forgetting the words to his featured Nipsey Hussle song, “You Broke,” fans assisted YG in remembering the lyrics by rapping his verse acapella for him. Closing out the festival, YG brought a Mariachi band on stage for “Go Loko” and shared a kiss onstage with Kehlani. 4HUNNNNNNID.
