Rock The Bells, the global Hip-Hop platform founded by LL COOL J, has unveiled the initial lineup for its third annual “Rock The Bells Cruise: A Hip-Hop Experience,” setting sail from Miami to Bimini, Bahamas, from October 27 to October 31, 2025. This immersive four-day voyage celebrates Hip-Hop culture with performances by iconic artists such as The LOX, Da Brat, GZA, Lupe Fiasco and MC Lyte.
In partnership with Sixthman, a leader in music and lifestyle festivals at sea, the cruise offers guests an unparalleled experience aboard the Norwegian Jewel. Beyond live performances, attendees can look forward to autograph sessions, themed parties, mixers and culinary collaborations, all designed to honor and elevate Hip-Hop’s legacy.
LL COOL J expressed his enthusiasm, stating, “Rock The Bells is back on the water, bringing the energy, the music and the culture to new places. This cruise is more than an experience—it’s a movement. And trust me, we’re just getting started.”
