This year marks the 50th anniversary of hip-hop, which traces back to DJ Kool Herc's performance at a party on August 11, 1973. To mark the occasion, the JUNOS will be presenting an all-star a hip-hop performance at this year's ceremony.
This tribute to the 50th anniversary of hip-hop will be hosted by Kardinal Offishall and Haviah Mighty and will feature Choclair, Dream Warriors, Michie Mee and TOBi. DJ Mel Boogie will spin a track produced by Rich Kidd. The performance was written and produced by Kardinal Offishall and Jemeni.
"The history of hip-hop around the world is incredibly rich, with so many distinct voices contributing to the narrative," said Kardinal Offishall in a statement. "It's an honour to be able to help tell this story through a distinctly Canadian lens and celebrate this important cultural milestone at the 2023 JUNO Awards."
These artists join previously announced performers Alexisonfire, Jessie Reyez, Nickelback, Tate McRae, Tenille Townes, Banx & Ranx with Preston Pablo and Rêve, AP Dhillon, and Aysanabee with Northern Cree.
The 2023 JUNO Awards take place in Edmonton on March 13. See the nominations here.
