First up, Run DMC, Snoop Dogg, Lil Wayne, Ice Cube, the Sugarhill Gang and so many more will ring in the half century celebration at Yankee Stadium on Friday, Aug. 11.

Then, a little over a month later, Mariah Carey, Wu-Tang Clan and Mary J. Blige will headline at NYC’s Madison Square Garden to ring in the half century of hits at the star-studded Hip Hop Forever 50th Anniversary concert on Friday, Sept. 15.

They’ll be joined by fellow legends Maxwell, EPMD, Tyrese and Sean Paul at the one-night-only event curated by Funk Flex.
