Mayor Eric Adams has served the people of New York City as an NYPD officer, State Senator, Brooklyn Borough President, and now as the 110th Mayor of the City of New York.

Bobby Kondors and Jabba are two names that have left an indelible mark on reggae and dancehall music.

Mayor Adams announces the 2024 return of the ‘Rise Up NYC’ summer concert series, featuring 18 world-class concerts across the five boroughs. The performances will showcase a diverse range of music genres and cultures, reflecting the sounds of the city we all love.

Ja Rule, a cornerstone of early 2000s hip hop, brought back the nostalgia at the 2023 Salute to Hip Hop held as part of the Rise Up NYC Concert Series. The energy crackled through the crowd as Ja Rule hit the stage, proving that even after all these years, he can still command the stage.

Get ready to groove to the soulful sounds of a true R&B legend! The Rise Up NYC Concert Series is thrilled to announce that Keith Sweat, the master of smooth vocals and timeless hits, will be performing on 125th Street in front of the world-famous Apollo Theater, which is celebrating its 90th Anniversary, across the street from where he grew up!
