The reunion show will take place on April 21 at the Barclay’s Center in Brooklyn, starring DMX, Swizz Beatz, Eve, The LOX and Drag-On. The show will celebrate Def Jam’s iconic imprint on their 20th anniversary, bringing together some of the most recognizable name’s from their late ’90s and early ’00s roster.
