NEW JERSEY: Pulitzer Prize winner rapper Kendrick Lamar, Lil Wayne and Meek Mill helped the famed Summer Jam music event celebrate its 25th anniversary with jam-packed performances.
Other celebrated rappers like Remy Ma, Tory Lanez and BBD also worked the stage on Sunday for the feverish audience at the MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
The event's highlight was the battle between producers Timbaland and Swizz Beatz, who went back-and-forth with hits they've produced for others from Jay-Z's "Jigga My" and DMX's "Ruff Ryders Anthem" to Missy Elliott's "Work It" and Beyonce's "Drunk In Love".
Lamar performed his well-known hits such as "Humble" and "Don't Kill My Vibe"; he was joined onstage by label mate Jay Rock. Meek Mill, who was released from prison in April, also performed Sunday.
The event, hosted by New York hip-hop radio station Hot97 was launched in 1994.
