Rolling Loud is here again, but officials and organizers are worried about the extreme heat, as well as security. NBC6’s Jamie Guirola reports
One of the top hip hop music festivals, Rolling Loud, will make its annual raucous return to Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens from July 21-23.
Rolling Loud originated in South Florida in 2015, but it's grown to include New York, Portugal, California, Thailand, and more.

Other artists include Ice Spice, a Bronx-based rapper dubbed the "people's princess" by fans, South Florida's own rapper-businessman Kodak Black, and U.K. sensation Central Cee.
