Earlier this month, Hot 97 revealed the lineup for its 2015 Festival Stage at Summer Jam and the famed New York City radio station has called on some big names for its Stadium Stage. This year's performers include Kendrick Lamar, Big Sean and Chris Brown.
According to Rap-Up, K Dot will headline the Stadium Stage at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey on Sunday, June 7. Brown and Trey Songz, who just recently wrapped their Between The Sheets tour, will also hit the stage. Meek Mill, Omarion and Childish Gambino are slated to perform as well, with Fabolous and Ty Dolla $ign bringing along some "friends."
As previously reported, B.o.B, Joey Bada$$, Teyana Taylor, Dej Loaf and Travi$ Scott will kick off the annual concert at the Festival Stage.
Last year, Childish Gambino, Iggy Azalea, Jhene Aiko, Chinx, Nipsey Hussle, Mack Wilds and August Alsina performed on the festival stage. Headliners included Nicki Minaj with Lil Wayne and Drake, 50 Cent with G-Unit, Nas, Wiz Khalifa, Trey Songz, DJ Mustard, Kid Ink, Sevyn Streeter, Bunji Garlin, Action Bronson and Troy Ave.
Kendrick Lamar's latest release, To Pimp A Butterfly, earned the rapper his first No. 1 album. Released earlier this month, the album has received mainly positive reviews with the NY Daily News calling it an "instant classic."
USA Today predicted the album's content will be taught in college courses. That may not be too far fetched considering his major label debut inspired a course taught at Georgia Regents University in Augusta, Georgia.
Tickets for the 2015 Summer Jam festivities are on sale now.
