Harlem's most style-conscious rapper, always a couple of years ahead of the room, folds cloud-rap haze, chopped-and-screwed detours, and high-fashion swagger into records that set trends instead of chasing them.

Name a few bands you love and we'll scout all 41 acts on the Camp Flog Gnaw bill for the ones you shouldn't miss.
Camp Flog Gnaw Carnival 2025 was the eleventh edition of Tyler, The Creator's festival on the Dodger Stadium grounds, and the first that had to move. It was originally set for November 15–16, but an atmospheric-river storm forecast to bring record rain over Los Angeles that weekend forced a choice between cancelling and pushing back a week. Tyler pushed it back: the carnival ran November 22–23 instead, wristbands carried over, and refunds were offered to anyone who could no longer make the new dates. The weekend had already sold out.
The delay cost the bill six acts. sombr, Clairo, TEMS, Men I Trust, The Alchemist and Don Toliver all came off when the dates moved, and the revised poster added Kali Uchis, Blood Orange, FakeMink, Geese and Gia Fu in their place. What survived intact was the top of the bill: Tyler, The Creator, Childish Gambino and A$AP Rocky headlining, with Doechii, Kali Uchis, GloRilla, Earl Sweatshirt and Blood Orange underneath. As usual, Flog Gnaw never published a day split: the 41 acts were announced as one two-day bill, with the carnival rides running between sets.
Expect hip-hop, alt-r&b, alt-rock and west coast hip hop across 41 acts.
Search it, filter by day, stage or genre.
Harlem's most style-conscious rapper, always a couple of years ahead of the room, folds cloud-rap haze, chopped-and-screwed detours, and high-fashion swagger into records that set trends instead of chasing them.
Hip hopCloud rap
Donald Glover's music project outgrew the joke a decade ago, now offering psychedelic funk and gospel-sized soul from a writer who treats an album like a screenplay.
Alt-R&BFunkHip-hop
Odd Future's ringleader turned auteur, with every record a full costume change and every tour a proper production, Grammy-decorated and still restless.
Hip-hopAlt-rap
Bay Area collective making scrappy, guitar-flecked rap with a genuine band mentality, with posse-cut energy and genre-blind hooks in the post-Brockhampton mold.
Alt-rap
Ethiopian-American songwriter running soul phrasing through fuzzed-out 90s alt-rock, sweet on the surface and deliberately scuffed underneath.
Alt-rockAlt-R&BGrunge
Dev Hynes's velvety art-R&B, with '80s soul textures, jazz chords, and quiet heartbreak from one of pop's most sought-after collaborators.
art-R&BIndie soul
Argentine duo who treat trap, funk and stadium rock as one costume box, absurdist and immaculately played, and far stranger live than on record.
Latin trapAlt-rockFunk
Pusha T and Malice, reunited: coke-rap scripture over pristine beats, one of rap's great comebacks and a masterclass in brotherly chemistry.
Hip-hopCoke-rap
Switches cadence mid-bar like she's changing characters, and the result is theatrical, technically ferocious rap that never sits still long enough to be filed.
Hip-hopAlt-R&B
The steadiest technician of the Odd Future crop, he makes unhurried, blunted, boom-bap-leaning rap that never needed a gimmick to justify the verse.
Hip-hopWest coast hip hop
Compresses more into two minutes than most rappers manage in ten, with dense, muttered writing over loops that sound like they're decaying in real time.
RapAbstract hip-hop
UK underground rap's internet-native riser, with lo-fi menace and offhand melody built for the timeline, low-lit tracks that travel by repost.
Underground rap
A honeyed voice pointed at grunge guitars and glitching drums, she started as a sampled hook and turned into one of the least predictable writers in alt-R&B.
Alt-R&BAlt-rockSoul
Unhinged Brooklyn art-rock that is yelping, swaggering, and critically adored, like the Stones reassembled by art students mid-fever.
Indie rockArt-rock
Kevin Abstract and Dominic Fike as a two-piece, making scrappy, guitar-led songs from two writers who both left bigger projects to make exactly this.
Alt-rockIndie popAlt-R&B
Memphis crunk revival with a foghorn flow, where every set is a gym-class riot and 'F.N.F.' is still the roll-call anthem.
Rap
Velvet-toned bilingual soul that drifts between doo-wop pastiche and perreo without ever raising its voice, with 'Telepatía' cool as a permanent state.
Neo-soulReggaeton
The unhurried Bay Area health-food evangelist paired with Atlanta's most quotable veteran, with luxury-rap deadpan over soul loops, and neither one wastes a syllable.
Hip-hopWest coast hip hop
Funk-flecked Gen-Z bedroom pop: 'Chest Pain (I Love)' and a fast-rising live rep, Steve Lacy instincts with his own snap.
Indie popR&B
Skateboarder-turned-rapper murmuring grief and lineage over dusty, unresolved loops: meditative rap that asks you to lean in rather than nod along.
Hip-hopAbstract hip hop
LA duo welding distorted guitars to rap that sneers more than it boasts, abrasive, funny, and built for rooms where the barrier gets tested.
Punk-rapAlt-rockHip-hop
Long Beach lyricist with a comedian's timing and a battle-rapper's density, the kind of writer who buries the best line three bars past where you stopped listening.
Hip-hopWest coast hip hop
Technically sharp West Coast rapper who arrived fully formed and hasn't wasted a verse yet, and the co-signs keep stacking.
Hip-hop
Made Auto-Tune an instrument instead of a repair tool and spent a decade being blamed for it, then reminded everyone the voice underneath was always the point.
Hip-hopR&BPop-rap
Nails in the hair, rock guitar under the raps, and a croon that lands somewhere between a hook and a punchline: a Texas one-off with total commitment to the bit.
Alt-R&BHip-hopAlt-rock
Six-string bass played like a lead instrument, sung over in a helium falsetto, with virtuosity worn so lightly it reads as comedy until you follow the changes.
Jazz-fusionFunkAlt-R&B
Comedian and rapper in equal measure. The jokes are real and so, annoyingly, are the songs, beats from rap's A-list included.
Hip-hopComedy-rap
Off-kilter LA ratchet rap delivered in a yelp, bouncy, profane and gleefully unserious, and built for a car with the windows down.
West coast hip hopHip-hopRatchet
Barcelona rapper whose deadpan Spanish trap arrived with an immediately recognisable sneer, plus viral freestyles and a delivery that turns minimalism into menace.
TrapHip-hop
'Beanie' broke him everywhere, with woozy, warm bedroom soul from Baton Rouge: falsetto sighs over underwater guitar.
bedroom R&B
Grunge guitar tone and a half-whispered vocal over hip-hop drums, with hazy, lovesick songs that sound recorded at 3am and mixed to stay there.
Alt-R&BGrungeBedroom pop
Genre-smashing Melbourne punk-rap with riffs, bars, and zero regard for lanes, delivered with a hardcore band's physicality.
PunkAlt-rap

Latin
A designer's brain applied to pop: spoken-sung, sharply written art-pop about consumption and self-image, delivered with unnerving calm.
Art popAlt-R&BExperimental
New Orleans rapper, formerly known as YPC Ree, writing lived-in verses about growing up and refusing to let his surroundings shape him.
Hip-hop
Odd Future's in-house noise merchant, with beats built from blown-out drums and horror-movie synths, the sound of the crew's rawest early run.
Hip-hopExperimental hip hop
Florida teenager who raps like he's already bored of being rich, with slurred, unbothered flows over glassy beats and charisma doing most of the work.
Hip-hopTrapSouthern hip hop
Slurred, meditative rap over his own woozy loops, with grief processed at half speed. Underground New York's quiet center of gravity.
Hip-hopAbstract-rap
The most level-headed voice of the Odd Future roster, he makes smooth, conversational rap that chose craft over shock and quietly kept going.
Hip-hopWest coast hip hop
Hip-hop
Detroit shape-shifter who yelps, croons and raps within the same bar, with a painter's approach to rap where the wrong-sounding choice is the point.
Experimental hip hopHip-hop
Tyler, The Creator, Childish Gambino and A$AP Rocky, with Doechii, Kali Uchis, GloRilla, Earl Sweatshirt and Blood Orange beneath them.
