Thousands of Tyler, the Creator fans gathered Saturday night at Dodger Stadium to mark 10 years of the rapper’s taste-making festival, Camp Flog Gnaw. The two-day, L.A.
-centric smorgasboard of hip-hop and R&B kicked off with a carnival of bold sounds from major groundbreaking artists like Doechii, Kaytranada, Sampha, Vince Staples, School Boy Q and many more. This year’s Camp Flog is also a celebration of Tyler’s latest chart-topping album, “Chromakopia,” which was born from the eccentric artistry and madness that continues to inspire the long-running festival. Below are a few highlights of the best stuff we saw from Day 1.
Doechii By the time Doechii brought out SZA to perform the remix of “Persuasive” on Saturday afternoon, one of the darlings of L.A. hip-hop label Top Dawg Entertainment already had a tight grip on her audience.
Fresh off the tour of her critically acclaimed “Alligator Bites Never Heal” mixtape — which made her the most nominated female rapper for the 2025 Grammy awards — the “Swamp Princess” who hails from Tampa opened up her high-energy set with the standout “Boom Bap.” With the help of her equally turned up DJ, Miss Milan — whom she performed multiple dance routines with — Doechii ran through several other album favorites including “Catfish” and “Boiled Peanuts,” along with the 2019-deep cut “Spookie Coochie” and 2022’s “Crazy.” Throughout her set, the fiery rapper also sprinkled in multiple breath work.
