Homegrown hip-hop festival Rolling Loud has announced it will host a concert benefiting those affected by the raging wildfires in the Los Angeles area. The concert, dubbed Loud Aid, will take place at Kemistry nightclub in Fort Lauderdale on Monday, January 20, featuring a stacked lineup of rappers.

The impressive roster of talent includes Ski Mask the Slump God, Pouya, Luh Tyler, 1900Rugrat, DJ Scheme, Robb Bank$, and Danny Towers, as well as the promise of special guests.

The festival supporting the wildfire relief efforts isn't entirely out of left field. In addition to the original Miami festival, Rolling Loud also hosts a West Coast edition in Los Angeles. This year's edition will return March 15 and 16 at the Hollywood Park Grounds, with A$AP Rocky, Playboi Carti, and Peso Pluma set to headline.

Rolling Loud is one of many music industry organizations supporting wildfire relief efforts. The Recording Academy's philanthropic arm, MusiCares, has pledged to support music professionals affected by the fires, making a $1 million donation to kick off its fundraising efforts. Live Nation has also announced it plans to host FireAid, a benefit concert at the Kia Forum in Inglewood, California, on January 30 with performances by Billie Eilish, Gracie Abrams, Green Day, Jelly Rolly, Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Sting, and others.

For Loud Aid, Rolling Loud is pledging all ticket proceeds to GoFundMe's Wildfire Relief Fund.

Loud Aid. With Ski Mask the Slump God, Pouya, Luh Tyler, and others. 7 p.m. Monday, January 20, at Kemistry, 307 SW Second St., Fort Lauderdale; 954-282-9169; kemistrynightclub.com. Tickets cost $27.56 to $55.11 via dice.fm.
