Mariah Carey is one of the world's greatest artists of our time, and her love for Hip-Hop runs deep.
MC was one of the first pop stars to put Hip-Hop in the global spotlight. After spending five years cranking out hits that topped the charts, Carey teamed up with the late Ol' Dirty Bastard for the Bad Boy remix to her hit "Fantasy" from her 1995 album Daydream. That album also featured two songs produced and co-written by Jermaine Dupri, "Always Be My Baby" and "Long Ago." The success of her fifth album not only had an impact on the music industry, but it also influenced her sound forever.
Since then, Mariah Carey has worked with Jermaine Dupri on numerous records including major hits "Honey" and "It's Like That." She's also worked with countless Hip-Hop artists from JAY-Z and Fat Joe to today's leading ladies like Latto and Shenseea. She continues to churn out bangers with the likes of Anderson .Paak, who produced her upcoming album's first single "Type Dangerous" containing a sample of Eric B. & Rakim's 1987 classic, "Eric B. For President."
Mariah Carey will hit the stage at the 2025 iHeartRadio Music Festival in Las Vegas. Fans can tune in to the annual two-day mega music event as the festival will be broadcast live each night via iHeartMedia radio stations throughout the country across more than 150 markets. Hulu will be the Official Streaming Destination of the festival, with performances livestreamed each night exclusively to all Hulu subscribers.
