As any rap fan will tell you, the key to an exciting concert is energy whether it's from the crowd or the performer. Amid the booming bass and hundreds of competing voices, a rapper has to manage to connect with every audience member in the room.

While some rappers prefer to keep their show grounded, others aren’t afraid to take flight and catch some air time, jumping into the crowd in hopes that their fanbase can carry them through atop the sea of people. G-Eazy, Joey Bada$$ and Rae Sremmurd, to name a few, are constantly touring and sharing their dope crowd surfing shots on Instagram.

G-Eazy's 'When It's Dark Out Tour' is making its way over to the East Coast and he's been catching air in Salt Lake City, Denver and Portland. Duo Rae Sremmurd has been known to go about any means necessary to get their crowd hyped and that means stage diving when they see fit. Young Thug's fans actually (awkardly) failed to carry the JEFFERY rapper when he tried to dive at the NYC stop of his HIHORSE'D Tour.

With plenty of rappers going on nationwide tours in 2016, buyers want to choose the best show to spend their money on. And what better way to get your money’s worth than carrying your favorite MC as they stage dive into the front row. You can’t get any closer than that. Check out which rappers aren’t afraid to crowd surf during their shows in the gallery above.
