Swizz Beatz To Host Special DMX Tribute At The Hot 97 Summer Jam
Several months have passed since the tragic death of DMX and most of the music world is still mourning the late legend. It is hard to accept such a loss and rappers are here and there organizing special events where we can all think of DMX and remember him with the best pieces of his work.
The Covid situation postponed many great events – even the Olympics and the European Football Championship, but this year everything is coming to normal step by step, so is the music festival called Hot 97 Summer Jam. It will take place on the 22nd of August at the Metlife Stadium near New York City. The tickets are already on sale and the participants and the program of the event are also announced.
Swizz Beatz is always taking a major role when it comes to tribute his friend DMX. That is what he did at the 2021 BET Awards this year. There was a special part of the program, that was especially for the late rapper. Method Man, Busta Rhymes, The Lox, and Griselda were also very active on the scene honoring DMX.
The host of the Hot 97 Summer Jam event, Ebro Darden, said that unlikely every year when the festival is marking the beginning of the summer, this time it will be a sign that hip-hop and rap music are back. It will be historic this year he said. Everyone is very excited to see live performances from artists like Meek Mill, Rowdy Rebel, Moneybagg, DaBaby, Bobby Shmurda, and more.
DMX died in April this year, as he put the whole world in grief. After several days in the hospital on life support and millions of people praying for him to wake up, he lost the battle. He was brought to the hospital in a very serious condition with a massive heart attack caused by a drug overdose.
