Once again, we’re back across the Hudson River for another installment in Hot 97’s Summer Jam Concert Series. Unlike last year and previous outings, however, it’s strictly a Queens affair tonight. Nas is set to headline the show, with 50 Cent premiering possible tracks from his upcoming album Animal Ambition; plus Nicki Minaj joined by Tunechi and the rest of the YMCMB family. Other performers on the main stadium stage include: DJ Mustard,Ty Dolla $ign, YG, Trey Songz, Wiz Khalifa, Kid Ink, Sevyn Streeter, Troy Ave, Action Bronson and Bunji Garlin.
The Festival stage this year will feature: Childish Gambino, Iggy Azalea, Jhene Aiko, Chinx, Nipsey Hussle, Mack Wilds, and August Alsina. There’s obviously going to be major surprises as usual from folks at Hot 97, but you can enjoy the entire stream after the jump for biggest hip-hop concert of the year at East Rutherford’s MetLife Stadium.
