Rolling Loud Roll Call: Robb Bank$

by .

Robb Bank$ told XXL Magazine, “I don’t go to clubs and throw racks. I’m not even from Dade, I’m from Broward.” The 21-year-old rapper has been at the forefront of Florida’s Hip Hop circuit, clearly representing Broward County to the fullest extent. Robb obtained early success in his music career, mainly from a niche following on Tumblr and affiliations with Spaceghostpurrp and Raider Klan. Bank$ has been able to retain his spotlight, releasing his highly anticipated mixtape Tha City under his SS Records imprint, as well as an array of memorable guest verses, notably on Denzel Curry’s “Threatz” which to this day is one of the more impactful Florida rap records of the past few years. As of now, Robb is planning to release a collaborative EP with Memphis rapper Chris Travis called No Trespassing, as well as his debut album Year of the Savage. You can expect to see Robb and Chris Travis performing live at Rolling Loud Festival on February 28th.

Rolling Loud Roll Call: Pouya

by .

Pouya: a young rapper who proclaims himself “Baby Bone”, obvious by his style of rhyming in double-time over downtempo beats. He joined forces with Robb Bank$, becoming an official artist on the SS (Smart Stunnas) imprint, releasing buzzing projects from his collaborative Gookin’ EP, with Cool Kids member Sir Michael Rocks, to his most recent full-length album entitled Stunna. You can also hear him right next to SGP on South Florida producer Nuri’s “The Void Mix [South Florida Edition]”. Along with other great national and local acts, Pouya can be found getting buck on stage rapping about macaroni, alongside his dynamic hypeman Fat Nick at Rolling Loud Festival on February 28th.

Rolling Loud Roll Call: Casey Veggies

by .

The Boy is “seeing hella faces”, and it comes as no surprise. Since 2008, Casey Veggies has been steadily releasing music, investing in his brand, and collaborating with like minds. An LA native, Casey’s charisma and knack for street culture led him to co-founding the Odd Future collective, with songs produced by OF members including Tyler The Creator on his early recordings. That did not last forever, as him and his team (Josh Peas and Anwar Carrots of Peas & Carrots Intl) respectfully parted ways with OF to ultimately ink a management deal with Roc Nation shortly after his debut album Sleeping In Class, which was well-received on the internet. From then on, it was apparent that Casey Veggies would inherit some Life Changes, as he would truly become a part of an elite class of “Young Winners” in the rap game, signing a deal with Epic Records for his upcoming album Live and Grow. Singles like “The Boy” and “Backflip” (featuring YG and IAMSU!), are slated to be on this major release. Until that surfaces, you can experience Young Veggies live in concert at Rolling Loud Festival in Miami on February 28th.

Rolling Loud Roll Call: Da$H

by .

While the uninformed might assume Da$H came out of the woodwork within the last year or so, especially given his young age, but that is surely not the case. Before this Hackensack, New Jersey native was given the official A$AP stamp, he was touring with Ski Beatz, MURS, Tabi Bonney, and his Uncle Dame Dash during the DD172 glory days several years back…before there was a “Pretty Flacko” and any sort of A$AP craze. Since then, he has released over 6 projects, the most recent being V.I.C.E.S., which includes production from the likes of Mac Miller and Thelonious Martin, as well as appearances by Action Bronson, A$AP Ferg, and Vince Staples. As his career continues to flourish, along with his rapping comrade Retch (one half of their group Heirgang), Da$H will be setting off Rolling Loud Festival on February 28th.

Rolling Loud Roll Call: J NICS

by .

When it comes to Miami talent, as far as Hip Hop is concerned, J NICS is one of the ruling elite. This is a man who sports the “305” area code with pride on all accounts. He’s not Uncle Luke, Trick Daddy, or even Rick Ross status, but he is certainly Miami OG status. NICS has been releasing music since the early mixtape era, collaborating with notable national acts like Freeway, Freddie Gibbs (as seen in the video above), REKS and pretty much every talented Hip Hop act from Florida including JT Money, Denzel Curry, ¡Mayday!, QuESt, and plenty more to find with a quick google search. His status as a representative of the city remains relevant, as in recent times he was a featured artist at last year’s A3C “305 LIVE” showcase in Atlanta. He continues to make music, perform, host, and make appearances at popular nightlife events in the area, especially during Art Basel (the photo below was taken from Basel Castle). Let’s put it this way, he’s so Miami, that he went to the same high school as Randy Shannon. He’s also so Miami, that he will be performing at Miami’s own Rolling Loud Festival on February 28th. It truly wouldn’t be a Miami Hip Hop festival without him.

Rolling Loud Roll Call: Juicy J

by .

Straight out of Memphis, Tennessee, Juicy J has come a long way from Three 6 Mafia fame. Although, winning more Academy Awards than Johnny Depp and Leonardo DiCaprio is a rather impressive accolade to have with the group. As a solo artist, Juicy has accomplished plenty, collaborating with major music icons such as Justin Bieber and Usher, earning a nomination at this year’s Grammy Awards for “Dark Horse” by Katy Perry, and continuously setting trends in and out of Hip Hop. As if things couldn’t get more trippy with Juicy J, he recently took to Twitter to announce his February 16th release date for Blue Dream & Lean 2. While fans indulge in the new material from #BDL2, they can prepare to see the man in the flesh as he headlines Rolling Loud Festival on February 28th.

Rolling Loud Roll Call: Eric Biddines

by .

Traveling many light years to Earth from PlanetCoffeeBean, Eric Biddines is undisputedly one of the hardest working artists in South Florida right now. His unique ability to captivate crowds, along with his soulful, country-fried, progressive Hip Hop sound is exactly what draws people in. From touring with Danny Brown to premiering multiple music videos on MTV Jams and gaining attention from numerous media outlets in the past year, Eric’s vision is surely coming to fruition for all to see. After a FADER premiere this month for visuals of his single, “Purple Gold Fishes“, he will close out the month strong with a featured performance at Miami’s Rolling Loud Festival on February 28th.
