Hot 97 Summer Jam Tokyo Countdown Party

Hosted by local hip hop radio champs Hot 97, New York's annual Summer Jam is a true blowout that unites R&B and hip hop's biggest names with notable up-and-comers. Held since 1994, it's famed for booking notable acts at the height of their powers – Wu-Tang in ’94, Biggie in ’95, Fugees in ’96 and so on. This beat bonanza is now taking a step across the ocean, gearing up for its inaugural Tokyo edition in late July 2016. While you wait, head to Shibuya's Harlem for a taste of what's in store: the lineup at this warm-up bash includes DJ Enuff, a Hot 97 mainstay and former tour spinner for Biggie himself, plus Kyoto-based globetrotter DJ Lead.
