This year’s NBA All-Star Game is about to get extra hyphy with a Bay Area musical tribute at Chase Center in San Francisco, home of the Golden State Warriors. On Sunday, February 16, at 8 p.m. ET, DJ Cassidy is bringing his legendary Pass The Mic Live! show to the stage, and he’s bringing out some of the biggest names from the West Coast.

E-40 and Too $hort will be on deck to drop their classic hits, while Saweetie—representing the new wave of Bay Area talent—will also hit the stage. It’s only right that they’re honoring the Bay’s hip-hop legacy, and these legends are the perfect choice. To keep the energy high, comedian Kevin Hart will be the on-court emcee, keeping the crowd hyped throughout the night.

With the All-Star Game in the Bay, it’s a no-brainer to bring out these West Coast heavyweights. The performance is set to bring that rich Bay Area sound to the spotlight, celebrating everything from old-school to new-school. It’s about honoring the culture and showing love to a place that helped shape the music industry. Fans at Chase Center and watching from home are in for a night filled with straight bangers, good vibes, and some serious Bay Area pride.
