It was pure pandemonium inside Forest Hill Stadium at LL Cool J's 'Rock the Bells' concert held in Queens, New York, on Saturday.

The iconic producer and hip-hop mogul Swizz Beatz invited international dancehall superstar Cham on stage to represent for the reggae/dancehall genre.

"You can't have hip-hop without reggae," said Swizz Beatz, before calling on Billboard hitmaker Cham on stage to perform a plethora of hits from his extensive catalogue.

The ladies sang in unison when Cham belted out his 2003 hit Vitamin S, produced by Dave Kelly of Madhouse Records. The crowd erupted when he took them down memory lane with his timeless hit, Ghetto Story.

Rock The Bell coincides with the 50th anniversary of the birth of hip-hop, which is being celebrated all year long by the city. Cham shared a snippet of his performance and the fans have been praising him.

Cham told THE STAR, "Swizz Beatz always represents for the culture, a just real love and respect all the time. The vibe was eclectic, it was nostalgic. My dancehall/reggae fans really showed out. "

Speaking about his upcoming EP, he said, "It's gonna be explosive, nothing they ever heard before. Look out for the anticipated EP titled Time Bomb, Cham and Bounty Killer in September."

Cham is set to perform this Saturday at the Toronto Jerk Festival in Toronto, Canada.
