They may have been a few days late, but The Smokers Club still celebrated 4/20 in style as the 2018 Smokers Club Festival descended upon Long Beach, CA over the weekend. Wiz Khalifa headlined the Saturday night (April 28) by performing his cult classic mixtape Kush & Orange Juice in its entirety, as well as bringing out Curren$y, Big Sean and the whole Taylor Gang crew. Fans were also treated to performances from ScHoolboy Q, 2 Chainz and Lil Pump.
Then, on the Sunday (April 29), Kid Cudi assumed headlining responsibilities with a set that spanned his catalog and collaborations, and only ups the excitement for what’s sure to be a huge summer — thanks to his hotly-anticipated album with Kanye West called Kids See Ghost, dropping June 8. Mac Miller, Earl Sweatshirt and Isaiah Rashad also hit the stage earlier in the day.
Check out highlights from the 2018 Smokers Club Festival below.

If we had to guess, we’d say this one’s been in the vaults for a minute.

J. Cole takes the top spot on Billboard. The Dreamville MC’s fifth studio album, K.O.D., debuts at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 album chart. Released earlier this month, the project moved 397,000 equivalent album units (215,000 of that sum from streaming) opening week, according to Nielsen Music. That total is now the biggest selling week for an album in 2018, surpassing Justin Timberlake’s Man of the Woods, which bowed at No. 1 with 293,000 units back in February.
K.O.D. becomes Cole World’s fifth consecutive No. 1 on the Billboard 200. It follows 4 Your Eyez Only (2016), 2014 Forest Hills Drive (2014), Born Sinner (2013), and Cole World: The Sideline Story (2011).
