Based on the photos alone, you wouldn’t be able to tell if this was a scene from spring break or not — it was that wild on the rooftop of The Cromwell Friday afternoon!

The venue was jam-packed from start to finish, with every cabana and bungalow filled with partygoers — drinks were flowing all day as people made a splash all around our many sparkling pools; it was just nonstop fun everywhere you looked! BENZI kept the madness alive as he played the best dance, alternative and hip-hop mixes, from Sheck Wes’ “Mo Bamba” to Gwen Stefani’s “Hollaback Girl” and everything in between.

Friday night saw the return of Nelly at the Las Vegas night club, always bringing in an enthusiastic crowd to keep the good vibes going. This time he was seen wearing a fashionable Fendi “Monster Eyes” shirt, rounded out with a clean pair of Air Jordan 3 “White Cements” as he started us off with “E.I.,” “Knuck If You Buck” and “Air Force Ones,” with fans cheering as loud as they can! “I wanna thank y’all for being here tonight. Shout out to Drai’s, shout out to the West Coast! Thank y’all for holding it down with me for 18, 19, 20 years — I wanna know who’s been riding with Nelly since day 1! Let’s take it back to memory lane…” The Drai’s resident then performed his breakout 2000 debut single “Country Grammar” as everyone sang along to the classic, happily shaking hands with his fans on the dance floor. Nelly effortlessly blended other rap hits like “Plug Walk,” “All I Do Is Win,” and “Grove St. Party” with his own bangers like “Ride Wit Me,” “Grillz,” “The Fix” and more!

I truly appreciate the love, but there’s a few that still don’t know me…” and just in case there were a few that needed a friendly reminder, TIP made sure no one will forget as he performed “U Don’t Know Me” as cheers filled the air. “Look, I dunno if it’s just me but I see a lot of fresh faces out here tonight! I just wanna know if I can holla at you for a minute!” TIP reached his hand out to the dance floor as he brought out “Let’s Get Away,” “Why You Wanna,” “No Mediocre” and “Whatever You Like” for all the lovely ladies screaming and singing along. “The DIME TRAP is everywhere right now; if y’all wanna hear some new s*** make some noise!” His latest singles “Wraith” and “Jefe” were next, followed by an array of chart-toppers to get the hype rolling.

Fans made sure to catch him one last time here on the rooftop venue, getting everyone to turn up as he brought the very best in dance, house and trap music. He was accompanied by a talented troupe of b-boys as they brought some jaw-dropping moves for the masses. It felt like summer was far from over with perfect weather, people in the pools and private bungalows making a splash, and good vibes all day long! TroyBoi looked fashionably sharp as always with his keen sense of style, this time rocking a pair of Jordan 1 x Off-White “Powder Blue” sneakers to go along with his Off-White camo pants. He began his set real strong by “F***** S*** Up” into “Hustle and Flow,” followed by a “Bad and Boujee” remix exclusively from the man himself. Troy effortlessly blended today’s top bangers with some classic ’90s jams, bringing some of his signature London sounds to the mix as well! His standalone singles “KinjaBang,” “Flamez” and “Afterhours” really turned things up a notch as he closed his show out, thanking everyone that came out — “Mad love Vegas, until next time!!”
Later that evening was Fabolous at Drai’s Nightclub, putting on a show for fans to remember. Our very own DJ Franzen set the mood for the nearly sold out night, and it was a celebration everywhere you looked! Fabolous’ DJ Boof warmed the crowd up like no other with his energetic mic presence, playing some of the best in old school and current hits. Fab started his show off with quite the “Lituation” on stage, followed by “She Wildin” to send the crowd into a frenzy! “Hold up, it’s 2018 — if you having a good ass year make some noise right now!” With a seemingly endless amount of chart-toppers aimed at the ladies, it wouldn’t be a Fabolous show without some extra attention to them — “Is there any independent women tonight?!” All the girls screamed and sang along to “Superwoman,” “Into You,” “Can’t Let You Go,” “You Be Killin Em” and much more! The birthday people didn’t get left out either, surprising all the Libras with “Say Aah” as smoke and confetti was all in the air — it was a beautiful sight as people cheered, danced, and popped bottles! Loso closed it out with a bang as he performed “Boo’d Up” and recent single “Ooh Yea,” even inviting Aaron aka the Mask-Off Mascot for some fancy footwork on stage — “I just wanna turn up with Vegas one time!” Fabolous couldn’t help but stick around on stage afterwards to shake hands with the crowd and turning up to “Sicko Mode, “Big Bank,” and “Dreams and Nightmares,” keeping the party going well into the night!
Drai’s resident and R&B superstar Chris Brown has just hit a couple of monumental achievements, proudly sharing on his Instagram that he has broke his tie with Ozuna for the most certified music videos on Vevo as a male artist, and that his latest 45-track album Heartbreak on a Full Moon surpassed 1 billion streams on Spotify:

His music video for “Run It!” featuring Juelz Santana has just surpassed 100 million views on Vevo, reaching certification and therefor breaking the record as a male artist, now with an impressive 41 videos that have over 100 million views under his belt. And what a way break the tie, as “Run It!” was his debut single that was released way back in 2005, being only 16 years old and discovered as a teenager. Since then Chris Brown has been a force to be reckoned with, being one of the most accomplished men in the music industry thanks to his multiple talents and versatility, helping him break into different markets.
With a dedicated fan base like no other, it was only a matter of time that Chris Brown’s latest three-hour-long opus Heartbreak on a Full Moon would reach the 1 billion streams mark. Drake and XXXTentacion have both reached these numbers this year but since he’s classified within the soul genre on Spotify, he’s accompanied by two more of the industry’s heavy hitters: Khalid and Bryson Tiller. HBOAFM made headlines worldwide not only from its massive tracklisting, but with a host of chart-toppers that came our way throughout the end of 2017 and beyond. On behalf of everyone at Drai’s, we want to extend our congratulations to Chris Brown on reaching these incredible milestones!

Understand, I’m the only artist to have the number 1 rap single, pop single, country single, dance single, R&B single!” The nearly sold out venue cheered on as they rapped along to his endless catalog of classics. You’ll never know what Nelly has up his sleeve when he’s on the Drai’s LIVE stage, this time switching it up a bit by performing “Smile,” “Grove St. Party,” “Big Bank” and some “Sexual Healing” for all the lovely ladies! “Listen, I wanna do some new s***!

Nelly then slowed things down for the ladies and made one very lucky fan’s entire night by inviting a bride to be up on stage to sing along “Dilemma” — everyone was all about it and happily sang along to the slow jam with her! As the show came to an end, he was more than happy to greet and shake as many hands as possible to his fans and partygoers — “Again I wanna thank y’all for coming out and being here!

It doesn’t get any better for your dayclub needs! Destructo started us off with some reggaeton vibes, playing “Champion,” “So Am I” and “Topper Top” to get fans riled up, as he then effortlessly shifted to some of the best in trap mixes with “Pick It Up,” “Catching Plays,” “All Nite” and much more. He of course made sure to bring out some of his standalone hits for the fans, delivering with “Catching Plays,” “All Nite,” “LA Funky” and “Loaded,” never failing to get the crowd up and moving!

Ty made sure to shake fans’ hands on the dancefloor, even grabbing one of their phones for a memorable video. We then had a surprise appearance from emerging rapper and his cousin TeeCee4800, performing “Flexin” for the amped audience! Ty sang hit after hit from thereon out, getting so heated from the energy on stage that he had to take his shirt off to perform “Paranoid” and “Or Nah,” and the girls couldn’t get enough of it! The show came to an unbelievable close as Ty Dolla $ign brought his guitar out for “Psycho” and “Blasé,” and like a true rock star joined in on the crowd and stood on some of the VIP tables for a night to remember!
