As the hip-hop world continues to mourn and celebrate DMX in the wake of his tragic passing in April, it’s been announced that Swizz Beatz will lead a tribute honoring the rap icon at this year’s Hot 97 Summer Jam concert, which returns to MetLife Stadium on Aug. 22 after missing a year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Swizz, who also led an all-star tribute to the late rapper at the 2021 BET Awardswith performances by Method Man, Griselda, Busta Rhymes, and The Lox, is certain to pull out all the stops to make his latest homage to his fallen friend and frequent collaborator a memorable one, particularly given the fact it’s taking place on a stage he had rocked numerous times over.
