Its 8:18 p.m. and Im on Instagram minding my own business (stalking someone I met at Sidebar), and then I"m tagged with yet another flyer. I don"t give a f**k, I think. But then I determine it"s Dope Entertainments annualhip-hop music festival,Rolling Loud.

And the lineup is stacked. Hundreds of comments begin pouring under the post. They"re from hypebeasts with their parents" money, gold-diggers with an agenda, and photographers who just have to be there. And then theres me, a fan of Jazz Cartier, who appeared last year like Christ himself.

When it comes to underground hip-hop shows in Miami, I already know what to expect: an extensive lineup of people I dont know, someone blowing cheap marijuana in my face, and about 13 people rocking a collapsing stage. Thankfully, since the first Rolling Loud in 2015,it has been better than that. We can look forward to one h**l of a lineup at its new Bayfront Park location May 5 through 7.

Known for throwing hip-hop shows anywhere from Orlando to Tampa to Miami, the founders of Dope Entertainment Matt Zingler and Tariq Cherif plan to give Miami more than just your average s****y rap show. Bayfront is a venue we"ll be able to grow within for years to come, Cherif said in a recent interview.In the past, the duo has been criticized for the fest"s lack of structure, pay-for-play tactics, poor sound quality, and flooding. But this year, attendees can expect even bigger production and a smoother ticketing process than last years festival.

The lineup includes hip-hop favorites Kendrick Lamar, Future, A$AP Rocky, Lil Wayne, Young Thug, and Travis Scott, along with local acts Robb Bank$, Denzel Curry, IndigoChildRick, and Kodak Black, if he doesnt go back to jail for a pending charge.

The festival will span two stages and three days, topping last years two days. There"s more ground to cover and a larger production spaceat Bayfront Park than there was during the last edition at Mana Wynwood.
