Four years in Miami and KFT still hadn’t made an appearance at LIV for their notorious Sunday hip-hop festivities. LIV Sunday has become iconic for rap performances and lyrical shout-outs from Ace Hood, Fabolous, Lil Wayne, Meek Mill, and Rick Ross just to name a few. Fetty Wap and the Remy Boyz took South Beach by storm this weekend. Unless you’ve been residing under a rock for the last year, Fetty Wap’s #1 hit single, “Trap Queen” has become an anthem that’s expected to be heard during a night out.I’ve seen everyone from Alesso to Zedd at LIV and never saw the hallowed party grounds as packed as Sunday evening. The lobby was buzzing with everyone jockeying towards the front of the line. With all the hype surrounding Fetty’s appearance, he spent most of the night largely overshadowed by a member in the audience. Undefeated boxing champion, Floyd “Money” Mayweather, brought The Money Team and many friends out to LIV for the celebration of his recent victory over Manny Pacquaio. Along with bottles and models, Floyd enjoyed a 90-pound, $15,000 cake was that contained over 10,000 Swarovski crystals. While that may sound like quite a hefty sum of cash, what’s a night out with the team when the Pacquaio bout added an astonishing $200 million to Floyd’s bankroll.

Enough about the highest paid athlete in the world drawing attention, it was Fetty Wap’s debut night at LIV and he stole the show. DJ Stevie J was on fire all night mixing and mashing the hottest rap tunes of late, setting the perfect stage for Fetty. Tracks like “Flicka Da Wrist,” “I Don’t F**k With You,” “Blessings,” “Posed To Be,” and “Clique” transformed LIV to the verge of combustion. Fetty Wap sure took his time prepping before heading to the booth around 3am to the beat of “My Way.” The soulful intro built up till Fetty Wap and the Remy Boyz went IN over the beat. “My Way” made it’s way to October’s Very Own and Drizzy hopped on the official remix months later.

Fetty Wap rapped his way through the energetic, fast-paced beats of “How We Do Thangs” and “Tim Duncan” before the getting to the track everyone was (not so patiently) waiting for. The instant “Trap Queen” started blaring through LIV’s incredible sound system, the club popped off. From the front to the back, the dance floor to the ceiling, echoes of “Remy Boyz,” “1738,” and “Hey, What’s Up, Hello” roared from the crowd. When the chorus hit, a festival-like atmosphere ensued with countless voices providing back up vocals to Fetty. The crowd could have listened to Fetty Wap rap “Trap Queen” over and over but much to their dismay, Fetty relinquished the stage back to Stevie J for the remainder of the night.

After experiencing my first LIV Sunday, it’s safe to say I’ll be back in the very, very near future. The atmosphere was out of control and Fetty was everything we hoped for…and much more.
