DJ Cassidy returns with the second installment of Pass the Mic, a virtual mixtape in which music legends perform their classic records via livestream.
Today's episode will feature 35 legends from the golden era of hip-hop, including everyone from LL Cool J to Run-DMC to Salt-N-Pepa. The artists will enter the Twitch stream remotely and rap along with their biggest hits before "passing the mic" to the next act. According to DJ Cassidy, the goal of the event is to uplift and pay tribute "to the heroes around the world fighting for health, freedom, and justice."
"I hope Volume Two moves others as much as it has moved me," the DJ said in a statement. "I am forever grateful to my Hip Hop heroes for their decades of music, culture, and inspiration, and with them, I celebrate all the heroes around the world."
