Kitchener was the setting for one of the biggest hip-hop festivals to come to Southern Ontario as Hot 97’s Summer Jam put on a show at Bingeman’s Camping Resort. In true Summer Jam style, the artist lineup provided the crowd with some local Canadian flavor as well as some of the indutry’s heavy hitters. From Toronto MC JD Era to the world renowned Fabolous, Rick Ross, and Busta Rhymes, the entire show hosted by Legacy Sound Crew andHot 97’s DJ Enuff did not disappoint. A highlight of the night was T-Pain performing his classic cuts as well as giving everyone a taste of his new single called “Rap Song” off his upcoming album “Revolver”.
First and foremost, T-Pain’s stage presence and ability to control a crowd stand out above others. His wit and charm immediately captured the audience as he had them following his commands. The footage above shows him introducing and explaining the influence behind his new single. As he puts it he likes “f—ing to rap music.” The song has a mellow vibe to it with a hard bass line as T-Pain croons to his lady in the song. He cleverly inserts three well known rap classics into the chorus, using lines from Outkast’s “Elevators”, Lil Wayne’s “A Milli”, and 50 Cent’s “In Da Club”. The chorus also gives a shout out to industry staples Young Jeezy and Gucci Mane.
The first Canadian Summer Jam was a great success with great performances by all of the artists. T-Pain put on a great show as can be seen in the footage and was good enough to give the crowd a sneak peak into his upcoming single and album.
