<h1>The First Ever Summer Jam.</h1>On June 21, 1994 - the first ever Summer Jam took place at Brendan Byrne Arena in East Rutherford, New Jersey. This was the first-ever all hip-hop arena show to take place and was hosted by HOT 97, the first all hip-hop radio station in New York City.This was two years before the GRAMMY’s would give out an award for Best Rap Album and long before hip-hop was respected by popular culture.<h4>The lineup for that show was Black Moon, Gang Starr, Nas, Queen Latifah, A Tribe Called Quest, Arrested Development, SWV, and the Wu-Tang Clan.</h4>On <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/summer-jam-through-the-years/id1627066431">HOT 97’s newest podcast "Summer Jam: Through The Years"</a> it was revealed by Summer Jam producer and head of Trevanna Entertainment Carl Freed that the show was hosted in East Rutherford, NJ because Madison Square Garden was not willing to host an all hip-hop event. Freed also divulged that the show sold out almost immediately.<iframe style="border-radius: 12px;" src="https://open.spotify.com/embed/episode/5lJBdHDx2O3OXEjSZ8BneH?utm_source=generator" width="100%" height="232" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>In the planning stages for the original Summer Jam, many other names were considered, the most interesting one being “Hood Stock.” Also mentioned on <a href="https://www.hot97.com/hip-hop-news/summer-jam-through-the-years-new-podcast-hot-97/">“Summer Jam: Through The Years”</a> was the fact that the Wu-Tang Clan left their green room bloodied and broken. Freed explained that no guns or weapons were drawn but the Staten Island group had a bit of a fight backstage. However, an unexpected artist’s security team did have some issues involving weapons.28 years ago the trajectory of hip-hop changed and both HOT 97 and Summer Jam played a major role in legitimizing the genre. Having the first major all hip-hip show near the birthplace of rap was also incredibly significant. Imagine if the first all hip-hop event took place in Ohio or Las Vegas, it just wouldn’t have the legacy that Summer Jam carries. On top of that, the “East coast, West coast” beef was still very prominent in 1994, so it was important that the first show of this magnitude took place in the New York area, with mostly New York artists.There were some out of town performers on the inaugural Summer Jam lineup, like Arrested Development and Gang Starr. Speech from Arrested Development revealed on <a href="https://www.hot97.com/hip-hop-news/summer-jam-through-the-years-new-podcast-hot-97/">Summer Jam: Through the Years</a> that the group was booed during the first Summer Jam! Speech inferred that it was because Arrested Development was not from New York. He added “we had done shows in New York, and gotten love in New York, but this was different.” Relive or learn more about the first ever Summer Jam by listening to <a href="https://www.hot97.com/hip-hop-news/summer-jam-through-the-years-new-podcast-hot-97/">Summer Jam: Through The Years,</a> hosted by Laura Stylez!

<h1>Festival Stage gets crowd warmed up for main event!</h1><h4>Written by: Colt Shaw</h4>Even before MetLife Stadium’s doors opened, ticket holders were treated to a high energy performance and marquee drop-ins. The first half of Summer Jam was already two hours underway when a van door slid open and Cardi B popped out, running up the steps to a Festival Stage crowd losing its collective mind. The Washington Heights spitter performed "Shake It" with B-Lovee. Dougie B was on stage too, and Cardi B finished her set by throwing her shoes in the crowd. Coney Island rapper and internet Nems also surprised the crowd, coming out to perform his single “Bing Bong,” the song that birthed the signature meme.A who’s who of young rappers, including the likes of Yung Bleu, Lady London, Babyface Ray, NLE Choppa, K Goddess and Cordae — who Hot97’s Rosenberg called one of the best MCs of this generation — rocked the mic for a crowd that continued to grow as the afternoon went on. Rain was a threat all afternoon, but held off long enough for the first part of 2022’s Summer Jam to go as planned.There were some other delays, though. Saucy Santana, the rapper who gained fame with his hit “Material Girl,” was late for his performance, as he was still changing backstage. He eventually came out, with only enough time to perform two to three tracks before dancing to a remix of Beyoncé’s “Crazy in Love,” a winking nod to past tweets of his poking fun at Beyoncé and her daughter Blue Ivy, which resurfaced recently. Santana stuck around to interact with fans afterwards.Joe Budden was among the big names seen in the performers’ lounge backstage. Ladies Night, Girls Code and Hot97’s Drewski & Friends also shared the stage. NLE Choppa performed his hit “Walk Em Down,” dancing along. Yung Bleu performed his singles "Beautiful Lies" and "You’re Mines Still." And Lady London brought out Aura to perform Lisa’s Story.

<h1>The Summer Jam set underlined Kay Slay's legendary influence.</h1><h3>Written by: Colt Shaw</h3>In a tribute to the station’s legendary DJ Kay Slay, who died in April of COVID-19 at 55 years old, Ebro led the crowd by cheering: “The Drama King is in the building!”A 50 Cent-narrated tribute video detailing Kay Slay’s impact, directed by HOT 97's Megan Ryte, featured artists thanking Slay for their careers and popularity. The frequent collaborators that took the stage immediately after seemed to underline Kay Slay’s influence in the New York rap scene. The Lox, Fat Joe, Busta Rhymes, Remy Ma, Juelz Santana, Papoose and Jim Jones all took the stage to perform and honor the DJ. Born as Keith Grayson in 1966, DJ Kay Slay made his mark on hip-hop history across a number of mediums and decades. His graffiti work under the name “Dez” was featured in the classic 1983 documentary on the subculture, Style Wars. He also published Straight Stuntin’ magazine. But Kay Slay hit his stride as a disc jockey, something he said he never intentionally set out to achieve. "I didn't so much set out to be a DJ," he told Forbes. "It was just something to do that was fun and that I enjoyed doing."Kay Slay was among the leading lights of hip-hop’s mixtape era in the early aughts, releasing scores of tapes littered with the biggest names in rap, from Raekwon, Nas, and Mobb Deep, to Eminem, Kendrick Lamar and 50 Cent. He released his first album, The Streetsweeper Vol. 1, in 2003.The New York Times hailed DJ Kay Slay as "Hip Hop's One-Man Ministry of Insults.” His Hot97 show, The Drama Hour, and his many mixtapes often served as a stage for the most memorable beefs in hip-hop history. The DJ often found himself at the center of feuds between such heavyweights as Nas, Jay-Z, 50 Cent, Ja Rule and more.The tribute on Sunday night closed with a stadium full of lighters and a moment of silence.

<h1>Bill in New York Assembly would curb the practice.</h1><h4>Written by: Colt Shaw</h4>As this year’s big acts took the stage at Summer Jam, their Atlanta peers — Young Thug and Gunna, along with some 26 associates — were awaiting trial on RICO charges in Fulton County, Georgia, in one of the most high profile criminal cases in hip-hop’s history. Their lyrics are on trial, as well, as prosecutors allege bars from the two are indicative of guilt. The issue was highlighted just before the night’s main act, Fivio Foreign, with a video featuring Polo G, G Herbo, DJ Khaled and Post Malone, among others, speaking in support of Thug and Gunna and artistic expression. The video ended with a recorded message from Thugga himself.“I just want to say thank you to all my friends and my family for coming out and supporting us,” Thug said. “Everybody please sign the ‘Protect Black Art’ petition and keep praying for us.” Advocates for Black music in New York are working to make sure the practice is a thing of the past in the state. On May 17, the New York state Senate passed what has been dubbed the “Rap Music On Trial” bill, aimed at shielding rappers from having their lyrics used against them in court. Hot97 teamed up with 300 Entertainment to create the “Protect Black Art” <a href="https://www.change.org/p/rap-music-on-trial-protect-black-art?utm_source=share_petition&utm_medium=custom_url&recruited_by_id=2b5969f0-e79b-11ec-86d0-fd7c7995fa4f">campaign and petition</a> to advance the cause. The cause has earned support from the likes of Jay-Z, Fat Joe and Meek Mill. New York’s own Bobby Shmurda wants to see similar bills passed around the country. After his 2014 arrest, the “Hot N***a” rapper had lyrics from the smash hit used against him on weapons charges. "I'm grateful for it," Shmurda has said. "I feel like it needs to happen all around the country, especially with what's going on in Atlanta right now."Last week, Kevin Lisle, CEO and Founder of 300 Entertainment, and Senator Jamaal Bailey, co-sponsor of SB7527, sat down with Ebro in the Morning to <a href="https://www.hot97.com/hip-hop-news/interviews/lyrics-on-trial-young-thug-gunna-ny-senate-bill-s7527-protecting-black-art/">discuss the importance</a> of the bill, which still needs to pass the State Assembly and receive a signature from Governor Kathy Hochul.

<h1>The Philly rapper performed his signature "Dreams and Nightmares"</h1><h4>Written by: Colt Shaw</h4>Cardi B entered the Festival Stage to a hyped up crowd just before 5 pm and performed the song Shake It with B-Lovee, their hit featuring Kay Flock. If that was the only surprise appearance, it might have seemed like Summer Jam peaked early in the night, and outside of the stadium.But Meek Mill took the stage with Lil’ Durk for a sampler of their features together, including “Sharing Locations,” before the MC rocked his signature “Dreams and Nightmares.” And Jnr Choi joined Fivio Foreign during the night’s closing set to perform his hit “To the Moon.”Whether it’s Nas bringing out Lauryn Hill in 2012 or Jay-Z bringing out Michael Jackson in 2001, the surprise guest is one of Summer Jam’s mainstay features. Some of the most memorable guests in Summer Jam history have been impromptu — or kept secret until the moment they arrived on stage to an erupting MetLife Stadium. This year’s planned line-up had enough talent to go around. The headliner, Brooklyn’s own Fivio Foreign, played cuts off his debut B.I.B.L.E. like the lead single City of God with Kanye and Alicia Keys. Coi Leray and Chloe Bailey both joined Fivio who was cloaked in a "King of New York" cape. Pusha T, NLE Choppa, Lil Baby, Lil Durk, Shensea and Dream Doll all took the stage and kept the crowd hot before Fivio’s entrance, as did the City Girls along with Saucy Santana, and Griselda’s Benny the Butcher.One surprise this year was actually delivered by an artist on the line-up. Roddy Ricch — among the biggest names on the bill — added uncertainty to the schedule when he was arrested Saturday Night in the city on a weapons charge before his set at Governor’s Ball. But Ricch posted bail and stepped onto the main stage after 8:30, calling out the NYPD.Ricch performed “Rockstar, High Fashion, Ballin’ and The Box.”“I like New Jersey better than New York,” Ricch said, exiting the stage.

<h1>Lil Durk Is Set To Take The Summer Jam Stage! </h1>“The Voice” is set to take the Summer Jam Main Stage for the first time after years atop the game. Lil Durk has been show-stopping and chart-topping for years since he popped onto the national hip-hop scene during his <a href="https://www.mtv.com/news/1820474/2014-xxl-freshman-class/">2014 XXL Freshman Freestyle</a>.Before 2014, Durkio had risen to prominence off of the popularity of his 2013 mixtapes: Signed 2 The Streets and I’m Still A Hitta. Riding the popularity of those mixtapes, Durk’s collective Only The Family signed a joint venture with Def Jam prompting the release of his first album Remember My Name in 2015. Durk has been one of the most consistent and influential voices out of Chicago in recent years. Both his overall sound and style have helped to accelerate the spread of drill music across the country, as well as internationally. Durk’s influence has extended far beyond his sonic influence, but has also gone on to introduce the realities of life in the projects of Chicago. Through his lyricism, lifestyle, and relationships with other artists - Durk has helped introduce a slice of life that would have otherwise gone ignored without him. Lil Durk’s come up has been turbulent as he manages his life before fame along with his new found A-List celebrity status. There has been no lack of controversy surrounding The Voice as he reckons with his O-block roots. In 2020 Durk and OTF lost a close friend and one of the most promising artists on their label King Von. Von’s death has been a source of tension in Durk’s career as well as a topic in much of his music. In 2020, Drake and Durk to collaborated on the chart-topping single “Laugh Now, Cry Later.” Since the success of Laugh Now, Cry Later, Lil Durk has refused to slow down. In 2021, Durk continued his hot streak - being featured on both Kanye’s Donda, Drake’s Certified Lover Boy, and also released a highly anticipated collab album with Lil Baby. Nearly seven years after the release of his first album, Durk has amassed millions of streams, millions of fans, a couple Grammy nominations, and two #1 albums. Now Durk is set to leave his stamp on New York City by making his Summer Jam debut on the main stage of the biggest show in hip-hop. Get excited to see Lil Durk perform at Hot 97’s Summer Jam! It all goes down on Sunday, June 12th, at MetLife Stadium. <h2 style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.ticketmaster.com/hot-97-summer-jam-east-rutherford-new-jersey-06-12-2022/event/00005C87ABC3348F">BUY TICKETS NOW!</a></h2>
