JERSEY CITY — Snoop Dogg is getting a cool $100,000 at least for headlining Jersey City's Fourth of July fireworks festival.

The six-figure sum that lured the "Gin and Juice" rapper to Jersey City is being footed by the Exchange Place Alliance, a business group funded with a special tax on about 150 businesses in and near Exchange Place. That's where the free, all-day festival will be held.

The Jersey Journal learned the financial terms of the deal after filing a public-records request with the Exchange Place Alliance.

Mike DeMarco, president of the SID and CEO of real-estate firm Mack-Cali, told The Jersey Journal that Snoop Dogg's performance will make this year's festival "a great time."

"I look forward to having an inclusive, excellent time," DeMarco said.

Snoop Dogg, who co-hosts a variety show with Jersey City native Martha Stewart, is receiving quite a bit more for his Fourth of July appearance than the city has paid previous headliners. The Village People, who performed in 2016, received $20,000. Kool & The Gang, last year's star act, got $17,400.

Michael Satsky, of booking agent Provocateur Global Holdings, told The Record Snoop Dogg would treat the performance as a charitable donation.

"Essentially, Snoop is doing this for the people" Satsky said.

It's not clear what the city's total costs for the festival will be. The City Council has approved giving the Exchange Place Alliance $39,900 to rent carnival rides and New York-based Grucci $135,000 for fireworks.

The Exchange Place Alliance has a roughly $3 million budget.
