Wu-Tang Clan, Mary J. Blige, EPMD and more have been tapped for a Funk Flex-curated Hip Hop 50 concert going down in the heart of New York City.

In addition to the aforementioned names, Tyrese, Sean Paul and special guests Mariah Carey and Maxwell will also perform at the show, which takes place on September 15 at Madison Square Garden.

Tickets go on sale on Friday (June 16) via Ticketmaster. Fans can also use the code “DISCO” for Live Nation’s pre-sale on Thursday (June 15) at 10 a.m. ET.

You can view the full lineup below:

Hopefully fans get to see Method Man and Mary J. Blige come together to perform their classic hit, “I’ll Be There for You/You’re All I Need to Get By” – which Meth recently revealed he resented at first.

During his 2022 visit to Math Hoffa’s My Expert Opinion podcast, the rap vet explained how he hated the image he received from the Grammy Award-winning song and attempted to reject the love he was getting.

“I fought that ‘All I Need’ shit,” Meth said. “I didn’t wanna put it out ’cause it was at a point now where, when we were doing these shows [with] Wu-Tang Clan, I would come out and it’d be girls screaming. Now, for me, it’s like, I’m grimy, same-clothes-for-three-days-in-a-row nigga; who wants to go the sex symbol route at this point?!”

Meanwhile, this isn’t the only concert going down in NYC in celebration of Hip Hop’s 50th birthday. A mega concert celebrating the milestone in the genre’s birthplace of the Bronx goes down one month earlier inside Yankee Stadium on August 11.

Snoop Dogg, Lil Wayne, Ice Cube and many more have joined Run-DMC on the star-studded lineup that also includes Fat Joe, T.I., Common, Slick Rick, Lupe Fiasco, Ghostface Killah, EPMD, and A$AP Ferg.

There’s a Queens of Hip Hop set that will feature Eve, Lil Kim, Remy Ma and Trina. The concert will also pay homage to trailblazers who helped pave the way like Kurtis Blow, Kool Herc, Grandmaster Caz, Roxanne Shante, Melle Mel and the Sugarhill Gang.

Favorite Music of 2023

Empire State Bastard - Rivers of Heresy The love child of Simon Neil (Biffy Clyro) and Mike Vennart (Oceansize) is a truly epic metal monstrosity. I'd heard bits and pieces of it that Mike doled out over the years via his Patreon and never thought a fully realized product would see the light of day. Well, they did it, and they got Dave Lombardo to bash the skins. That should tell you everything you need to know about this masterpiece. Empire State Bastard - The Looming [Official Video]

Steven Wilson - The Harmony Codex This feels like the culmination of the last two albums (To the Bone, The Future Bites) coalescing into an experimental but solid whole. It's best enjoyed in a single sitting instead of bits and pieces. There's also an alternate version of this album (Harmonic Distortion) including outtakes and remixes that is just as enjoyable as the main album.

Steven Wilson - Economies of Scale

Squid - O Monolith I wasn't immediately sold on Squid's first album (Bright Green Field), but after watching them play live they won me over. This second album is just as intense as the first. They know their strengths and play to them and the audience wins. Each song is incredibly complex, yet somehow they pull it off live and make it look easy, every member playing with a musical ambidexterity that is breathtaking. Squid - La Route du Rock 2023 – ARTE Concert

Queens of the Stone Age - In Times New Roman I still remember vividly seeing Songs for the Deaf at the local Hastings Muisc store at a listening station and proceeding to listen to the entire album. I stood there for an hour because the music rooted me to the spot. I'd never had an experience like that before. I'm sure the store clerk wondered if I didn't have anywhere else to go. Needless to say I became an instant fan and have been ever since. Queens of the Stone Age - Time And Place (Official Audio)

Knower - Knower Forever The first time I experienced Knower was back in 2016 and the video for "The Government Knows". It was hilarious and strange and I couldn't get over how catchy it was. I was compelled to seek out more from the group and began to appreciate the pure musicianship of Louis Cole and his gang of gifted musical cohorts. Over the years he released solo albums and had an insane side project known as Clown Core that's a genre unto itself. With Knower he's always had Genevieve Artadi as a musical partner and her voice fits the music perfectly. This latest album is their best so far. I'm The President - KNOWER

Hania Rani - Ghosts I think I first heard Hania based on the Youtube algorithm that thought I might like an insanely talented pianist and composer. This was mid-pandemic 2020 and her album "Home". It's one thing to hear the music, but it's quite another to see her perform solo and realize she's creating all of these soundscapes on the fly. Ethereal, beautiful, and transporting music. Hania Rani - Full Performance (Live on KEXP)

The Fierce and the Dead - News from the Invisible World This was a recent discovery. I know that I'll end up loving a group if I can't stop thinking about a song I heard. In this case it's one called "Non-Player". The entire album is great though, bouncing around between song styles and genre's. I was surprised to find that it's the first with vocals, their past releases being instrumental. ▶︎ News From The Invisible World | The Fierce And The Dead (bandcamp.com)

IDLES - (Everything) I was late to the IDLES party by four albums, but I've now got my arms and legs tucked inside the ride and I'm holding on for dear life. Not since Oceansize has a group affected me this profoundly. It's all right there on display, no gimmicks, everything's genuine. "If someone talked to you, the way you do to you, I'd put their teeth through. Love yourself." I am beyond excited for the new album coming in February. IDLES - DANCER (Official Video)
