The road to Summer Jam 2014; who are you excited to see?

Hot 97’s Summer Jam 2014 kicks off this Sunday, June 1 at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, and it looks to be one for the ages. For the first time in what seems like a long time, there doesn’t appear to be any major controversy lingering over the show — at least not leading up to the big event. Who knows what can happen when you get this many egos in the same place at the same time?

Cipha Sounds is one of the longest-tenured personalities at New York City’s hip-hop mainstay, Hot 97. The oddball with the love for party rap has seen a lot of change over the years since he joined the popular station in the late 90s, and he knows that some fans have been critical of the changes at the most well-known hip-hop station in the world.
