Few settings can rival the heat that emanated from Hot 97‘s Summer Jam 2022!

That Grape Juice‘s Chet Kincaid was on-hand at the Met Life Stadium in New York tonight (June 12) for this year’s installment of the annual extravaganza. And it did not disappoint.

Fusing a fiery blend of some of the most resonating names in Hip-Hop, R&B, and beyond, the extravaganza played host to performances from the likes of Shenseea, Roddy Ricch, Meek Mill, Saucy Santana, the City Girls, and Fivio Foreign with Chloe Bailey – who scorched with a racy rendition of their hit ‘Hello.’

Cardi B also blew the proverbial roof off the building when she hit the stage for a surprise showing of ‘Shake It’ with Kay Flock.
