Jeremih got the LDW celebrations going on Friday at Drai’s Nightclub, as fans came out in droves to make sure they got close to the dance floor stage before his performance. He started it off for all the birthday ladies in the building with the steamy single “Birthday Sex,” followed by Late Nights hit “Planez” – “My name is Jeremih and I come from the South Side of Chicago. There’s a lot of ladies here right now!” as all the girls cheered in excitement! “Where all my day 1 Jeremih fans at?!” as he took us back to his 2010 banger “I Like” and then hopping on the keyboards for “Hold You Down.” And it wouldn’t be a Jeremih show without some roses being handed out to some lucky fans near the stage! “I wanna hear everybody scream one time, Drai’s c’mon!” as he went into fan-favorites “Oui” and “Don’t Tell ‘Em,” with everybody screaming and singing along! Jeremih then brought his crew on stage to close it out with recent single “Womp Womp” – “That’s my time I wanna thank y’all for coming out!”
We kept the energy going Saturday night for the always amazing 2 Chainz, and Drai’s Nightclub was definitely the place to be seen! It was jam-packed from beginning to end, eventually selling out as fans from all over came out to celebrate the holiday weekend. The show began with “No Problem,” “All Me” and “No Lie” as cheers filled the air! “How y’all doing, you guys good? Where all my ladies at, make some noise! Where my Virgos at?” and based on the amount of noise they made, we most definitely had a lot of birthday people in the building. People were celebrating everywhere you looked with drinks in hand, bottles being popped, dancing and having a blast as 2 Chainz performed chart-toppers “I’m Different,” “Bands a Make Her Dance,” “Watch Out” and much more! “All my pretty girls that like trap music, make some noise!” as he then went into his latest single “Bigger Than You” followed by “Trap Check.” “Let’s take it back to where I started from, let’s go…” this time taking us back all the way to 2007’s “Duffle Bag Boy.” “Once again if you from out of town make some noise!” closing it out with “ATM” into “4 AM” – “I appreciate y’all, that’s my time! 2 Chainz!!”
Sunday funday came in to full effect starting in the afternoon with DJ Pauly D at Drai’s Beachclub! It was another gorgeous sunny afternoon atop the roof of The Cromwell, with Captain Morgan rum taking over early on with giveaways, complimentary shots, drummers, and the captain himself getting the party going for the packed crowd! DJ Pauly D then stepped on the decks to begin with RL Grime’s “Feel Free” into A$AP Rocky’s “Praise the Lord” – “Yessir! Labor Day Weekend baby, hands up for me!” During the remix of Martin Solveig’s “Hello,” he asked “where my ladies at?! When the beat drops y’all gotta splash, here we go!” There was water being splashed and beach balls in the air everywhere you looked – it was a sight to behold as fans really started to turn up! “Hey yo who wants a sticker right now?!” Pauly then stepped in front of stage to happily greet the crowd as he made it rain with custom Pauly D stickers! “I love Las Vegas this time of year, are you ready?
