Boston hip-hop group The Dean’s List will open for Calvin Harris and Childish Gambino at Sunday’s ninth-annual Juice Jam concert.

The group consists of rapper Sonny Shotz, producer DJ Mendoza and production engineer Mik Beats. The group’s latest album, “Generation X,” was released in April and debuted at No. 2 on the iTunes hip-hop chart.

“The Dean’s List fits perfectly into this lineup as an opener,” said Ken Consor, director of concerts for University Union. “The group brings a high-energy performance that combines hip-hop and pop elements.”

As of Tuesday evening, only 325 tickets were still available for the concert. Students, faculty and staff can still purchase tickets either at the Schine Student Center Box Office or online for $10 with a valid ID.

“At this point, it is likely that the show will sell out,” Consor said.

The concert has sold more than 7,000 tickets, making it the largest Juice Jam concert to date. The Dean’s List will take the stage at Skytop Field at 1 p.m., and doors open at noon on Sunday.

The Dean’s List last played in Syracuse last October at the Westcott Theater.

Said Consor: “They have been touring around several colleges recently and we are glad they will be making a stop in Syracuse.”
