New York’s HOT 97 radio station has just unveiled the headliners for its annual Summer Jam concert with Cardi B as the main event.
Cardi B is no stranger to Summer Jam, having performed at the event in 2019. This year, she’ll be joined on stage by a talented group of up-and-coming female emcees, including Ice Spice, GloRilla, Coi Leray, and Lola Brooke.
Also on the bill are French Montana, Lil Tjay, and Fivio Foreign. And that’s not all – according to Billboard, The LOX will perform a special tribute honoring 50 years of hip hop.
Bradford Tobin, the president, chief operating officer, and general counsel for the event, expressed his excitement in a press release. “HOT 97’s Summer Jam is a hip hop staple, and we are excited to bring the most electric show of the summer back to New York for hip hop’s 50th anniversary,” he said.
TT Torrez, one of the station’s personalities and VP of artist and label relations, echoed Tobin’s sentiments. “The show is all about bringing hip hop’s biggest stars to the stage, and we are honored to have New York’s own Cardi B as our headliner this year,” she said. “I am so proud of the strong female presence in our lineup, which represents women’s dominance over the airwaves this year.”
