French Montana, Ice Spice, and Rick Ross Lead Summer Jam Bill

Summer Jam 2026 is bringing major hip-hop energy to New Jersey this summer.

HOT 97 is stacking the stage at Newark's Prudential Center in July with a lineup built around veteran star power, New York flavor, viral momentum, and current club heat. French Montana, Max B, Rick Ross, Ice Spice, DaBaby, G Herbo, Cash Cobain, Zeddy Will, Omah Lay, Honey Bxby, Sleepy Hallow, and the 41 collective are all part of the announced bill, giving fans a wide mix of sounds from across today's hip-hop landscape.

The arena show is being produced by The Black Promoters Collective, with more names still expected to be added in early June. That means the lineup is already packed before the final round of announcements even arrives.

French Montana and Max B bring a strong New York connection to the show, while Rick Ross adds heavyweight veteran presence. Ice Spice gives the bill one of the most recognizable newer names in rap, and artists like Cash Cobain, Zeddy Will, Sleepy Hallow, and the 41 collective add the kind of regional and viral energy that has helped shape the current sound of hip-hop.

With Summer Jam's history as one of hip-hop's biggest live events, the 2026 edition is already shaping up like a full summer takeover. From established names to rising voices, this lineup gives fans plenty to watch before the next wave of performers is even revealed.
