Posted by Los Angeles, CA – Hip Hop and R&B will be fully represented at Super Bowl LVI in Los Angeles on February 13, 2022 when Eminem, Dr. Dre, Kendrick Lamar, Snoop Dogg and Mary J. Blige take centerstage for the annual Pepsi halftime show.

Naturally, Hip Hop fans are enraptured by the lineup, which is turning typically non-football fans into people who actually want to watch the big game — well, at least the halftime show.
Dr. Dre talked about the significance of this moment in a press release, saying, “The opportunity to perform at the Super Bowl Halftime show, and to do it in my own backyard, will be one of the biggest thrills of my career.
