The festival will take place on June 20, 2025, at the Prudential Center in Newark, NJ, where fans can expect performances from a diverse range of artists spanning genres and generations. Alongside Asake and Ayra Starr, the lineup features big names like A Boogie, Gunna, GloRilla, Muni Long, Ja Rule, and a special “Tribute to Irv Gotti” segment with a slew of stars including Kash Doll, Bobby Konders & Jabba ft.

Shelby Joyner, Founder of SJ Presents and President of The Black Promoters Collective, shared her excitement about the event, calling it the “pinnacle of Hip Hop culture.” She added, “We’re honored to bring this electrifying experience to fans once again. This year’s lineup is a testament to the genre’s evolution, featuring both chart-topping superstars and rising talent who are shaping the future of Hip Hop.”
