DJ Cassidy is returning home to New York, New York to celebrate Hip-Hop’s 50th anniversary. On July 21, 2023, the world-renowned DJ will bring his iconic Pass The Mic Live! series to Radio City Music Hall. The highly-anticipated concert will feature a number of Hip-Hop forefathers, including Big Daddy Kane, Doug E. Fresh, Rakim, Slick Rick, Grandmaster Melle Mel and The Sugarhill Gang.
“Uniting twenty-five native New York icons of Hip Hop’s Golden Age on one stage on one night, in the birthplace of Hip Hop, also my hometown, in the most esteemed concert venue in the country, will be the greatest honor of my life,” DJ Cassidy said about the upcoming show.
“I am truly honored to be celebrating these definitive artists and their profound impact on the culture, days from the 50th birthday of Hip Hop, minutes away from where Kool Herc deejayed the first Hip Hop party in 1973.”
DJ Cassidy will host a live edition of the Pass Mic Live! series in Newark, New Jersey on May 12, 2023 at the Prudential Center. The concert will feature Ashanti, Fabolous, Ja Rule, Lil Kim, Ma$e, Ne-Yo, Robin Thicke and 112. Not to mention, there will be a few special guests sprinkled throughout the show.
“When I premiered Pass The Mic in the heat of the pandemic on July 7th, 2020, I could have never imagined my little living room series transforming into a series of primetime television specials, let alone a series of live one-night-only concerts,” DJ Cassidy wrote on Instagram.
Tickets for both shows are currently available.
