The launch of Death Row Cannabis was announced on social media Thursday (Dec. 29).

The striking visuals were accompanied by a soundtrack by producer and longtime Death Row Records collaborator DJ Battlecat.

Chucky Chuck Blasts Entire Kushstock Festival Crowd With Cannabis Fog Machine
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Pal Szilagyi Palko / EyeEm / Getty Chucky Chuck epically landed himself in the news cycle after pulling off a zany stunt by getting what was probably an already elevated crowd to an even higher state. During his set at the Kushstock festival, Chucky Chuck covered the attendees in a cannabis fog by way of an inventive setup that used leaf blowers to push out the smoke. The Kushstock Festival took place on Oct. 8 in Adelanto, Calif., a free event celebrating the joys of cannabis and was presented by the Medicated Barbies. Chucky Chuck worked with a pair of companies in the cannabis space to provide an experience that the 10,000 in attendance won’t soon forget. From IG: F*ck a fog machine we had @elite_solution and @essmokebusters on deck last night at Kushs...
“Ganja Garden”: Cannabis Culture Comes to Dirtybird Campout
Claude VonStroke is back with the eighth iteration of Dirtybird Campout, and this time he’s blazing new trails—with cannabis. While it’s true that producers of events like Northern Nights and Outside Lands have had cannabis zones for years, next weekend at California’s Modesto Reservoir Campgrounds, Dirtybird Campout may be bridging the two worlds of dance music and cannabis in ways never seen before. This year, the cannabis business stretches roots deeper into the house and music scene with electronic music luminaries like Justin Jay, Mr. Carmack, Nala, VNSSA, Walker & Royce and so many more from October 7-9. Via their flagship festival—where everything that happens is created, curated and hosted by a major house and techno label—the unveiling of Dirtybird’s new...
Gas Me Up: Vic Mensa Gives Out $10K Gas & 93 Boyz “Gas” In Chicago
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Jason Mendez / Getty Vic Mensa has always presented himself as a man of the people, and he made good on that distinction over the weekend. While posted up in his hometown of Chicago, Vic handed out gas to 200 cars and also threw in a little, ahem, “gas” from his new cannabis brand. TMZ reports that Vic Mensa, 29, visited a gas station in the Southside neighborhood where he grew up and handed out around $10,000 in gas, and then threw in some greenery from his new 93 Boyz brand, the first Black-owned cannabis brand in the state. As reported by the outlet, one woman rolled up to the station with just five bucks hoping to make it stretch to get her granddaughter to work. The timing of Mensa’s giveaway was impeccable. Mensa also handed out pre-rolled joints fo...

Inside Grass Lands, the Largest Cannabis Experience In a U.S. Music Festival to Date
Music producers, artists, and event organizers often talk about how they smoke the competition, but few pull it off quite like Outside Lands. Last weekend, Grass Lands celebrated its fourth year at the Bay Area fest. In that time, the experience has expanded with more partners and offerings, but the best part is festival-goers are able to purchase and enjoy their cannabis freely in a fully compliant zone for smoking. Alive Coverage Now in its 14th iteration, Outside Lands Festival is no stranger to pushing the envelope, but few can assemble the cavalcade of top-shelf cannabis partners who make Grass Lands such a potent festival experience. For instance, Traditional, who is known largely as the godfather of OG growers through most of California, was there with discounted buds in a variety o...
Vegas Nightlife Entrepreneur to Open Cannabis Museum In New York City
There’s more than one way to celebrate cannabis than lighting up. Earlier this year, New York legalized adult use of recreational cannabis, and one Las Vegas-based nightlife entrepreneur is readying his effort to bring the city a major cultural touchpoint in celebration of the plant. The House of Cannabis, or THCNYC for short, is Robert Frey’s project to turn a sprawling 30,000 square-foot space into an immersive museum that will explore the history of cannabis and spotlight the creative arts and culture it has influenced throughout the decades. Frey is the former owner of Vegas’ Pure nightclub and the Pussycat Dolls Lounge. More recently, he became the owner of a 50,000 square-foot cannabis production facility and owned the city’s Zen Leaf dispensary. Frey has sinc...
Outside Lands’ Curated Cannabis Experience Is Returning In 2022
There are high expectations for Outside Lands 2022. Despite that awful weed pun, read on to find out more about the return of “Grass Lands,” which debuted at the Bay Area fest in 2018 as the first curated cannabis experience at a major American music festival. The “Grass Lands” town square will be located south of the festival’s Polo Field grounds. According to Outside Lands, cannabis enthusiasts will be able to legally consume goods at a place called the “Garden of Weed’n” (yes, really) from a number of the area’s finest purveyors, including exclusive products from Timeless, Woodstock Heritage and Sundae School. Fear not: organizers haven’t forgotten about the munchies. The curated “Grass Lands” ex...
How Northern Nights Music Festival Stays True to Its Roots
It’s only natural that music festivals would hold music as a central priority, but at Northern Nights, it’s not quite so simple. That’s mostly because as many come to the Humboldt-Mendocino county-line-straddling event for cannabis as they do for music, so attention gets split between the productions onstage and the many varied cannabis offerings at the festival. 2022’s iteration was no exception either. In fact, last weekend the kaleidoscopic forest rave used the very same two-pronged approach to throw its most evolved and integrated event to date. By making more than a few major strides from past editions of the now-paradigmatic music fest, 2022 wasn’t just a triumphant post-pandemic return. For the ragtag band of dance music-loving misfits turned world-class event producers ...
