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.
