Summer Smash 2025: Best artists and everything you need to know for the 3-day hip hop festival
Lyrical Lemonade's Summer Smash, the three-day hip hop festival that's become a staple of the Chicago-area summer music scene, returns to Bridgeview June 20-22 with one of its most ambitious lineups yet. The festival, which has grown from a one-day event to a full weekend celebration, brings together the biggest names in contemporary rap alongside the underground's most promising talents. This year's edition features an intriguing mix of headliners, including the co-headlining duo of Don Toliver and Yeat on Friday, Future on Saturday, and Young Thug making his triumphant return on Sunday. Hometown hero Chance the Rapper, an inspired and unusual choice, closes out the weekend with a special performance (the details of which are being kept under wraps). Like always, SummerSmash's commitment to showcasing artists at pivotal moments in their careers, like one of Young Thug's first major performances since his prison release and Chance the Rapper's comeback set, makes it one of the more interesting music festivals in a summer overflowing with them. The 2025 lineup reads like a snapshot of rap's current landscape, where rage trap meets melodic flows and established stars share stages with viral sensations. Not to miss: Fans will get a taste of one of the year's most highly anticipated collaborations with Don Toliver and Yeat's co-headlining set on Friday night. While Toliver and Yeat both make trap, the two lean in different directions, with the Houston-based Toliver making more melodic-based tunes (as heard in his recent song 'Joni,' a collaboration with SZA) and the Portland-based Yeat trafficking in the rage trap subgenre. It'll be interesting to hear how these two sounds meld together. Although the two have collaborated on singles — including 2024's 'New High' off of Yeat's album, 'Lyfestyle' — their co-headlining Summer Smash appearance may promise more opportunities for the two to link up. And while rumors of a collaborative album debuting at the festival have been squashed, it doesn't mean they won't have surprises. Something else: Few artists have made as surprising a turn as NLE Choppa. The Memphis-bred rapper, who first broke out in 2019 with his single 'Shotta Flow,' has become something of a showman in the years since. His live performances — a perfect showcase for his spirited flow and eclectic dance moves — are in stark contrast to the stylings of his peers. Credit this in part to a change in his lifestyle and a change in the type of music he makes. Hints of this could be felt on one of his biggest singles, 'Slut Me Out' (and the remix with Sexyy Red). But it wasn't felt as much as on two of his most recent mixtapes, September 2024's 'SLUT SZN' and December 2024's 'PICASSO: SLUFFIN SZN X SLUT SZN,' both of which feature more R&B-tinged tunes. Take the track 'Stingy,' a downtempo collaboration with R&B queen Summer Walker or the emotionally heavy yet danceable 'Sinking Slowly' with Carey Washington. Not to miss: There's not much to say about the polarizing Sexyy Red that hasn't been said before. Yes, she's charismatic. Yes, she's provocative. Yes, she's raunchy. But underneath the persona is an artist making some of the most unapologetic music today. Blending uninhibited lyrics (as heard on her breakthrough single 'Pound Town') with classic Southern rap influences, this St. Louis-born rapper is not afraid to push buttons and redefine what it means to be a female rapper. In 2025, she's expanded her wings with a number of collaborations, including the catchy 'ACTING UP WITH SEXYY RED' with funky singer Tommy Richman, the country pop of Jessie Murph's 'Blue Strips (Remix)' and the viral 'WHIM WHAMIEE' with PLUTO. If anything, this proves that Red is not afraid to experiment, not just lyrically, but sonically. Something else: If you're looking for a more eclectic lineup of artists, Saturday is sure to be your best bet for the festival weekend. Old heads who are interested in a more aughts-era sound will enjoy Soulja Boy's set, which is sure to include a mix of tunes, like his crawling new single 'Go In,' released last month, or his 2007 timeless classic, 'Crank That (Soulja Boy).' SahBabii, the Atlanta rapper, is sure to produce an exciting show. Known for his theatrical flow and his creative music videos, SahBabii is a creative, cohesive force with true artistry and showmanship. His latest album, 'Saaheem (A Lu Bit More)' is an hour-long showcase of what's to come for this talented upstart. Later, Lil Tecca is sure to delight, like on his latest single, 'OWA OWA,' which randomly and brilliantly samples The Buggles' 'Video Killed the Radio Star.' Other recent singles, like 2025's 'Dark Thoughts,' which sounds like an early aughts party rap throwback, and 2024's 'BAD TIME,' prove the Queens-based rapper and singer is wide-ranging in style and brimming with authentic charm. Not to miss: Sunday is where some of the biggest stars are set to convene. First, there's headliner Young Thug, fresh off his massive, highly publicized court case and release from prison last fall. Like any good artist, Thug jumped right into the studio to create his fourth album, UY Scuti, out this month. Fans should anticipate hearing a number of tracks off the record, including 'Money on Money,' a collaboration with Saturday night SummerSmash headliner Future (whether this signals a live guest appearance from Future remains to be seen). But as a headliner, the eccentric performer is likely to incorporate a number of works from his well-rounded career, including the critically acclaimed 'So Much Fun.' The festival will also hold a special Sunday night performance from hometown hero Chance the Rapper, which may come as a surprise to most festivalgoers. Chance's easygoing, often wholesome-sounding hip hop feels in stark contrast to the up-and-coming, trap-focused acts who make up the bulk of the lineup. But the South Side native is a true showman, not afraid to experiment and incorporate his multifaceted interests and collaborators into his sound (as heard to award-winning effect on popular mixtapes 'Acid Rap' and 'Coloring Book'). It'll be interesting to hear what he plans on bringing to the set, and whether it will focus on his past hits or some of his new body of work off the yet-to-be-released 'Star Line.' Something else: There's a little something for everyone on Sunday, but I'm most excited for Lil Yachty, who is not afraid to push past any artistic boundaries to make the sort of music that excites him in the moment. We heard this most recently with 'Bad Cameo,' a collaborative album with English singer-songwriter and producer James Blake, as well as 'Let's Start Here,' a shocking yet fun psych rock (and Tame Impala-inspired) pivot. His latest single, 'Murda,' is a perfect blend of his rap roots with indie-pop sample production. Saba's homecoming should also prove to be a special moment. The Chicago-bred, Los Angeles-based rapper has made some of the best music of his career these last five years, including 2022's reflective and personal 'Few Good Things.' His most recent drop, a collaborative record with fellow former Chicagoan No ID, was a critical smash and a warm, confident and soulful sonic accomplishment. On the total flip side of things, Insane Clown Posse is making an appearance at the festival. The booking first seemed confusing, then it made perfect sense. Their chaotic rap-rock style is a sure precursor to the rage trap that permeates throughout the festival's lineup. And don't forget Chicago drill rapper, G Herbo, who is sure to play tracks off his progressive 2022 release, 'Survivor's Remorse,' and 2024's 'Big Swerv.'Stages: Three stages: Main Stage, Stadium Stage, and a third stage.

Uniqlo Is Back With Another Hit—This Time, It's a Jacket
There's something uniquely elegant about a sporty jacket with a stand collar or funnel neck zipped right to the top, with material slightly shrouding the chin. It looks especially nonchalant when the wearer's hair is tucked in–a Phoebe Philo-ism that adds mystique to the enveloping silhouette. While this neckline (and hair tuck) has been popularised on the runway, Uniqlo's windproof blouson–a new style that's already generating hype–serves as proof that this cut can be well executed at a more affordable price point. Made from a breeze-preventing shell, the jacket features a stand collar that echoes those that are currently trending among the luxury houses, with a drawstring on the hemline to create a closer fit on the hips, angled side pockets and a hood that doubles up as padding for the collar when it's stowed away. At first glance, it resembles a humble weatherproof jacket you would wear to a festival or for classic outdoorsy activities, but I think that it's actually better suited to city wear. If you pull the drawstrings in around the waist and adjust the collar, it's a world away from your standard pac-a-mac. And unlike its designer counterparts, it's under $50. Vogue Shopping producer, Mia Portet, wearing the jacket with coordinating trousers. Mia Portet Erica Wright, founder of Sourcewear, in her Uniqlo jacket. Courtesy of Erica Wright Founder of Sourcewhere, Erica Wright, has created a business centered around tracking down coveted designer pieces for clients, such as one-of-a-kind Birkins, Cartier Tank watches, Alaïa flats and Old Céline, but she won't overlook an excellent high-street purchase. Erica immediately fell for the charm of the Uniqlo blouson while on a trip to Asia earlier this year. 'I'd gone in for a T-shirt, and this technical jacket caught my eye,' she tells Vogue of her chance discovery. 'The proportions are precise, and there's a clarity to the design–it has structure, but it moves easily. It feels put together, but not overworked. There's a quiet kind of luxury when you style something considered, yet accessible, alongside a beautifully-made piece, such as a pair of shoes from The Row or a bag from Jil Sander–the result feels more elevated, more assured.' The jacket is cropped but has an oversized fit on the arms and chest, so I'd recommend staying true to size–I wore an XS (my usual size), which was perfect. If you want an even slouchier appearance or to have extra room for layers to maximize its usage beyond the warmer months, then try the men's style. It is longer at the hemline, with the addition of large, parka-esque pockets on the front. Shop more cult buys from Uniqlo:

The new jingle for Sam Altman's human verification service will get stuck in your very human brain
When was the last time you identified as human? Typically, we identify with who we are as it applies to our career (accountant!), family dynamic (mom!), sports (Pacers!), and arts and culture (deadhead!). Rarely have we ever felt or had the need to make the distinction between human or . . . not. But in the age of AI, it's increasingly become a priority. Back in April, Tools for Humanity —a start-up cofounded by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman—unveiled its solution to this problem. It's a brand called World, an identity and financial network that includes a cryptocurrency called Worldcoin and an unprecedented piece of hardware: The Orb. The volleyball-size spherical device uses a retina scan to authenticate users as a human, and then provides a digital verification code. So far, World has more than 27 million participants and nearly 13 million verified humans across more than 20 countries. Its goal is to verify 50 million people by the end of 2025, and eventually sign up every single human being on the planet. The company hopes the biometric verification code it creates will essentially be our digital passport, to ward against fake AI-driven content, and needed for everything from online banking to dating apps. Altman told Time, 'If this really works, it's like a fundamental piece of infrastructure for the world.' But first, it needs to convince us all to use it. Now, to mark its U.S. debut—with the opening of World retail locations and Orb installation in six U.S. cities (Austin, Nashville, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Miami, and Atlanta) World has launched a new ad campaign to establish its own brand identity with the humans it hopes to attract. Set the tone Created with ad agency BBDO New York, 'Human and You Know It' is an earnest, peppy jingle ad that positions the Orb as an invaluable tool for, and ally in, our AI-driven future. We see cavemen lighting fires, Michelangelo painting the Sistine Chapel ceiling, one of the Wright Brothers flying an early aircraft, all singing this peppy ode to human ingenuity. 'World was created so that everyone could benefit from what's happening around the age of AI,' says Tools for Humanity chief marketing officer John Patroulis. 'What we're hoping to do with a piece like this is celebrate what it is to be human, the vulnerabilities. So we were trying to capture the feeling of who we are and what we're trying to accomplish.' It's a similar message to what OpenAI CMO Kate Rouch told me earlier this year on Fast Company 's Brand New World podcast. Her goal with work like the brand's Super Bowl ad was to show what the product can do for us, while expressing the company's values. 'In all of our advertising, we'll really try to show and lead with the technology, what it can do for people and how it can benefit people,' Rouch said. Again, the people part is key. BBDO executive creative director Jimm Lasser says that the tone and personality here is perhaps the most important part. There's a reason they used a familiar song in a familiar advertising context. For an unprecedented product and brand, there were a lot of questions to answer to get to that tone. Should it be earnest? Optimistic? Funny? All of that? Then they had to figure out how much of it needed to explain the Orb technology and how it works. 'It was a challenge, I'm not gonna lie,' says Lasser. 'I told my wife I think this is the weirdest thing I've ever worked on. It took a lot of unpacking. First, you have to understand the technology, and then you have to believe. You have to put your cynicism aside—which you're naturally going to have—and really look at it, at what this could do for humans.' This isn't a product demo. It's a personality test. The World brand is telling us who it is and why we should trust it if it's to be, as Altman says, a fundamental piece of infrastructure for the world. It needs to be friendly, nonthreatening, somewhat inspiring, and yes, optimistic. Tone matters in all advertising, but within the context of our AI-driven existential instability, even more. Just ask Apple 'Crush' or Google 'Dear Sydney.' Amid all of our AI fears and concerns, World knows it needs to feel more like Peppa Pig than Emperor Palpatine. It wouldn't quite hit the same if they were all singing, ' More Human Than Human ' by White Zombie. Brand spirit One of the keys to hitting that tone was director and ad legend Jim Jenkins, who is perhaps known more for big, funny Super Bowl ads like State Farm's 2024 Arnold Schwarzenegger spot, and Uber Eats' big game ad this year with Matthew McConaughey. The World spot is light and juuuust goofy enough. Sure, it'll make some people cringe but it's not going to scare anybody. While the bulk of the ad is simply shows good ol' humans singing the jingle, at the end, a woman uses The Orb to show us what all the fuss is about, tying the spirit of the brand to its product. Lasser says this was also a crucial part of the tone. 'Having worked on car advertising for a long time, it's always important to see how people interact with the car,' says Lasser. 'Here, we really thought through how that interaction with the Orb takes place, that you can see the scale. You need to see the scale of it in comparison to a human, her gaze slightly down, all these things make it feel nonthreatening and something that is a tool.' The goal is clear, but the cultural context is much more murky. Despite the reassurances of its use as just a tool, AI is threatening very real jobs, and—if you subscribe to the predictions of the AI 2027 report, written by former AI researchers—the very fabric of society, in an incredibly short period of time. That's quite a brand challenge. Still, Patroulis says that World has the best tool to take on this challenge: An actual purpose. Many brands struggle with why they exist in the first place, which ultimately impacts their ability to convince you and I to buy in. For World, the goal is clear: To help humans make the most of this AI moment. 'When you're true and authentic to what it is, you're always in the right place,' says Patroulis. 'That guides everything we're doing and we wanted this piece to express that. We do a lot to make sure that people are very empowered with information. And the more time you spend with it, and the more you understand it, the better it is, frankly, for the project. That wasn't the goal here. This piece was about capturing the spirit.'
