(12/14/01, 5 p.m. ET) -- Teen rapper Lil' Bow Wow will perform a special fan-appreciation concert at New York City's Hammerstein Ballroom at 5 p.m. ET Tuesday (December 18). The first 3,000 fans to arrive at the venue with a copy of the rapper's new sophomore album, Doggy Bag (out in stores tomorrow), will be admitted free. Lil' Bow Wow will make his concert entrance on a custom-designed hip-hop Santa sled.

Doggy Bag is the follow-up to Lil' Bow Wow's double-platinum debut, Beware Of Dog. Some of the featured guests on the new collection include Jagged Edge, Fundisha, the Neptunes, Khim Davis, Aaliyah Minter, Lil' Corey, R.O.C., Tigah, Da Brat, and Xscape.

In related news, Lil' Bow Wow will star in the upcoming Fox film, Like Mike, which is scheduled for release in June. The rapper will play the role of a young child who finds a pair of basketball sneakers that allow him to play at a level comparable to Michael Jordan. Lil' Bow Wow is also set to launch his new clothing line, Lil' Bow Wear, in June as well.
