DJ Cassidy celebrated the 50th anniversary of Hip Hop with fifty New York native icons of Hip Hop’s Golden Era, who took the stage at a historic sold out concert this past Friday, at the legendary Radio City Music Hall.

The epic three-hour event featured the likes of Big Daddy Kane, Doug E. Fresh, Rakim, Slick Rick, KRS-One, Grandmaster Melle Mel, Sugarhill Gang, EPMD, Nice ‘N Smooth, Roxanne Shante, Monie Love, Treach of Naughty By Nature, and dozens more, who played to a full house of enthused fans of all ages, who sang along to every word of every song all night. 

What began as a show in DJ Cassidy’s living room transitioned to a viral sensation, a beloved televised primetime series on BET, and ultimately, a must-see live experience in partnership with the Black Promoter’s Collective.

This past Friday represents the second installment of the concert series, the third of which Cassidy just announced to take place in on Saturday, September 2nd at State Farm Arena in Atlanta featuring Akon, Fat Joe, Jagged Edge, Keyshia Cole, Method Man & Redman, Remy Ma, Shaggy, The Lox, and special surprise guests. Tickets are on sale now.
