A PHOTO GALLERY FILLED WITH FIREWORKS (AND A FEW SPARKLERS)

We know your mind is already 87% focused on drooling at pyrotechnics and gobbling BBQ, but allow us to light up your sky with this pre-Independence Day photo array, co-starring Top Dawg, Slim, Birdman, Team Sabrina, Aaron Bay-Schuck and "Luau" Lenny Beer, among other potentates. Light this fuse and stand back!
