Lyrical Lemonade, the blog and media company founded by the big-deal music-video director Cole Bennett, has been putting on its Summer Smash festival in Chicago for the past few years, and this year’s lineup has just dropped. You could look at Summer Smash as a mini-Rolling Loud, a place where young and mosh-happy rap fans can go see their favorite insurgent acts without worrying about any dusty relics trying to recapture attention. This year, the fest has Kid Cudi, Future, and Playboi Carti as headliners. Like Rolling Loud, all three days also list big acts in the “special guest” spot: $UICIDEBOY$, Lil Uzi Vert, and “a very special Chicago guest.”
