Summer Jam is the annual hip-hop fest held in East Rutherford, New Jersey and sponsored by New York-based radio station Hot 97FM. Normally held in June, the concert features the most popular acts that hip-hop and R&B have to offer in a particular year.
The hip-hop summer festival format was originally pioneered and popularized by San Francisco radio station KMEL with their large-scale Summer Jam concerts from 1987 through the 1990s and present day. KMEL continues to host smaller versions of the event annually. Similarly, Los Angeles station KKBT held an annual Summer Jam hip-hop concert during the 1990s after hiring KMEL's Program Director in 1993. The concert was discontinued as the station switched formats.
The concert has increasing become a scene of drug use and violence over the years. The most recent festival held on June 7, 2015 included a riot in the stadium parking lot. The disturbance began when crowds of people without tickets attempted to enter the stadium anyway by climbing over the fence and were stopped by New Jersey State Police. At this time, the decision to close all gates to the stadium was made and those in the parking lot were asked to leave. Instead of leaving, the crowd began throwing glass bottles and other objects at police. The police responded with riot gear, armored vehicles, and pepper spray. Multiple arrests were made.
"Summer Jam" is a song by German dance band R.I.O., featuring vocals from Pop, R&B and Hip-Hop singer U-Jean. The song was released in Germany as a digital download on July 27, 2012. It samples the chorus from The Underdog Project's "Summer Jam" (2001).
A music video to accompany the release of "Summer Jam" was first released onto YouTube on July 27, 2012 at a total length of three minutes and eleven seconds.
Yeah...
I played dead immersed in that
Techni-colour, kind of
Black and white type
Counting one, two
Seven through the roof
If my lady only knew
How high, how high
I am, I am tonight
I've cracked open the safe
Myself now
45, 22
June until September
Three months 'til December
The summer
Is over
And I doubt (I doubt), I'll be seeing you around
I'll be seeing you around
Cos I ain't working for you anymore
No I ain't working for you anymore
So go prove to the world
Well you've already proved
That you just couldn't do on your own
Let's have a talk about the good times
Oh you were always giving in
Let's have a talk about the good times
Oh you were only giving in
The summer
Is over
And I doubt (I doubt), I'll be seeing you around
I'll be seeing you around
The summer
Is over
And I doubt (I doubt), I'll be seeing you around
I'll be seeing you around
Let's have a talk about the good times
Oh you were always giving in
Let's have a talk about the good times
Oh you were only giving in
The summer
Is over
And I doubt (I doubt), I'll be seeing you around
I'll be seeing you around
The summer
Is over
And I doubt (I doubt), I'll be seeing you around
I'll be seeing you around
The summer
Is over
And I doubt (I doubt), I'll be seeing you around
I'll be seeing you around
The summer
Is over
And I doubt (I doubt), I'll be seeing you around
