Despite inclement weather conditions, Dancehall veteran Mavado, the Melody Gad Kranium and Blessed singer Shenseea all graced one of Hip Hop’s hottest stages over the weekend.  From the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, the 2021 staging of New York’s Hot 97 Summer Jam 2021 featured the Dancehall stars along with performances from DaBaby, Cardi B, Offset, H.E.R., Bobby Shmurda, Swizz Beatz and more.

Dancehall star Shenseea, who recently did a Crocodile Teeth freestyle on Hot 97 with DJ Funkmaster Flex, was hot and ready to perform at the over two decades annual event.

Bringing the heat as “Rubi Rose”, Shenseea appeared in a full red mesh bodysuit, covered by only a red corset, and complemented by her silver Shenyeng necklace and silver red bottoms. Performing Blessed, Sheng Yeng Anthem and even getting the crowd to say “Bumbocl—t” was the perfect addition of Dancehall and Caribbean flavor to the Hip Hop Concert.
