Hot 97’s Summer Jam Will Live Stream on Tidal

One of the biggest hip-hop events of the year is going down this weekend and Tidal is bringing the concert to those who can't make it to New Jersey. Beginning at 2 P.M. EST on Sunday, Tidal will exclusively live stream the 2015 edition of Hot 97's Summer Jam concert. The stream will last nine hours and will replay over the next 25 hours. This year's Summer Jam lineup includes Kendrick Lamar, Chris Brown, Trey Songz, Big Sean, Fabolous, Meek Mill, Ty Dolla $, Omarion and many, many more.

"Hot 97 began streaming Summer Jam in 2012 as a way to connect with our audience and fans around the world who may not be able to attend the live event," says Deon Levingston, General Manager of Emmis NY via a press release. "In 2014, more than 1.3 million viewers tuned in to the stream across multiple distribution partners. Given the value of the Summer Jam brand, the performances and behind-the-scenes action, we're excited to have an exclusive partner like Tidal behind this year's event. Through this partnership, Hot 97 is not only able to provide fans with the hottest content, but also able to work with the biggest emerging music platform out today. As the digital age progresses, radio must progress with it. We're excited to work with Tidal to expand Hot 97's presence, as well as give viewers a taste of the live action via the stream."
