ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WHEC) – The Super Bowl halftime show is one of the biggest entertainment events of the year, and this year it’ll have a Rochester connection.

The rap and hip-hop themed show features artists like Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem and Mary J. Blige. And joining them is Sean Forbes, a deaf rapper and alumnus of RIT/NTID.

This is the first time there will be ASL accessibility at the half-time show.
