SOHH has learned Hot 97's highly-anticipated one-night "Check The Rhyme" concert next month has been cancelled.
With a star-studded line-up of guests including 50 Cent, T-Pain, Slick Rick, Ice Cube, LL Cool J and others, a rep for the NEw York based radio station spoke with SOHH to reveal the event's cancellation.
"'Check The Rhyme' is cancelled," the rep told SOHH. "It was cancelled due to scheduling conflicts with the artists."
Claiming
they were "not sure" or "at liberty to say" whether the concert would
be re-scheduled, the rep promised all fans who purchased tickets would
be taken care of.
"If they go to ticketmaster they will definitely be refunded."
As previously reported by SOHH, the event was going to be hosted by Hot 97 radio personality Funkmaster Flex and highlighted with legendary hip-hop icon Kool DJ Red Alert behind the turntables and Video Music Box's Ralph McDaniels both celebrating 25 years of hip-hop achievements.
Other billed performers included Q-Tip, Brandy and Doug E Fresh.
