Rolling Loud’s 10th Anniversary festival in Miami will feature a groundbreaking moment in hip-hop history. On Sunday, December 15, DJ Five Venoms and Trendsetter Sense will co-host Chosen Journey, the first-ever Christian hip-hop set, alongside Rodney “Darkchild” Jerkins’ Alienz Alive artists Jon Keith, GAWVI, and Alex Jean.
The event, taking place at Florida’s Hard Rock Stadium, will also showcase performances from rappers Caleb Gordon, Hulvey, and nobigdyl., ensuring a powerful and faith-filled celebration of music.
“This project has been guided by God’s hand, and it is through being vessels of His kingdom that this collaboration has come to fruition,” said Darkchild in a press statement, emphasizing the significance of the historic opportunity.
The Chosen Journey set, aiming to usher in a new era of faith and hip-hop, originated from a collaboration between Radio One Atlanta HOT 107.9’s Trendsetter Sense, DJ Five Venoms, and Darkchild. The idea was sparked in June when Sense noticed Darkchild had launched his faith-based indie label, Alienz Alive. Recognizing the potential for collaboration, Sense reached out through Bryan Michael-Cox, a mutual connection, which led to a pivotal meeting with Darkchild.
Shortly after, DJ Five Venoms’ manager, Troy Gunn, proposed the idea of a Christian hip-hop set under Sense’s Chosen Journey brand. Sense approached Alienz Alive’s Jen Boogie, who quickly brought the idea to Darkchild. Inspired by the vision, Darkchild partnered with Sense, DJ Five Venoms, and Gunn to curate this live experience.
After careful planning and approval by the Rolling Loud team, the Chosen Journey set was confirmed, marking a transformative moment for the intersection of faith and hip-hop.
The Earn Your Masters series wrapped up in spectacular fashion at Art Basel Miami, marking the third and final stop of the event. Previous stops included Charlotte, NC, and Chicago, IL. The event brought together industry leaders, creatives, and entrepreneurs to celebrate the intersection of culture, innovation, and empowerment. Presented by UnitedMasters, Ally, and Earn Your Leisure, the event awarded Jux Darko $50,000 in seed money for his innovative startup, Mixplug, an A.I.-powered platform aimed at democratizing music production. Mixplug simplifies mixing and mastering for artists and producers, helping to make high-quality music creation more accessible than ever.
Music and Creative Artist, Tobe Nwigwe, shared his inspiring journey in a conversation with Rashad Bilal and Troy Millings, co-founders of Earn Your Leisure and leading voices in the financial literacy space. Known for empowering communities through their content and initiatives, Rashad and Troy discussed with Tobe the importance of taking calculated risks and investing in oneself.
Tobe recounted a pivotal moment when a chance hangout with Oscar-winning actor Daniel Kaluuya, where he met a Reebok executive who sparked a collaboration opportunity with the iconic sneaker brand. That moment eventually led to Tobe’s major Reebok partnership that’s dropping in 2025, proving the power of authentic connections.
Tobe also shared an incredible story about working with Pharrell Williams. After catching a vibe together, Pharrell invited Tobe to the studio and they created a song together. The next day, Tobe received an invoice at a discounted “homie” rate—but at a price that was expensive as an independent artist. Despite the fee, Tobe paid for the song and seized the opportunity. Months later, Pharrell offered Tobe a spot working with him on a Moncler campaign, which turned out to pay twice as much as the song cost, making it a true full-circle moment of an investment paying off through their budding relationship.

The ‘Mogul Talk’ panel featured Steve Stoute alongside Drink Champs co-hosts N.O.R.E. and EFN, who shared their rise in the entertainment industry. N.O.R.E. reflected on the journey of Drink Champs, from its grassroots beginnings to becoming a full-scale podcast production with millions of listeners. He also recounted his interview with Dr. Dre, where he playfully pushed back on Dre’s claim that ‘The Firm’ album was a flop, stating, “How could it flop when it made me?” Steve Stoute added to the moment byrevealing that the controversial line in question was actually written by Eminem for Dr. Dre.
The evening was filled with unforgettable performances and surprise appearances. Mystic Marley, granddaughter of reggae icon Bob Marley, delivered an acoustic set that captivated the audience. Later, host K Foxx of 99 Jamz, invited Rotimi to the stage for a surprise performance, where he energized the crowd with one of his latest hits. The event drew a star-studded audience, including Buju Banton, Grammy-winning producer Bangladesh, artist Fredo Bang and legendary journalist, Shaheem Reid.
