Watch the Star-Studded 2022 Black Music Honors Airing on Bounce TV

The 7th Annual Black Music Honors' highly-anticipated celebration of trailblazing music legends with exciting performances and must-watch moments is airing nationally on Bounce TV Saturday, June 25 at 7:00 PM during Black Music Month. The television special is energetically infused with the comedic and fashionable synergy of electrifying co-hosts Two-Time GRAMMY Winner LeToya Luckett and Comedian DeRay Davis.

The 2022 Black Music Honors honorees displayed the excellence of Black music culture as they were commemorated by knockout performances that took them on a nostalgic journey down memory lane with anthems that shook the airwaves and raised them to stardom. The long-awaited reunions of Kid N’ Play and Dru Hill manifested on the Black Music Honors Stage. The legendary groups didn’t miss a beat and had the crowd partying like it was the 1990’s.

​Other music icons honored were Dynamic Gospel Duo Mary Mary who invited fans to worship and turn up at the same time; GRAMMY Winning Singer-Songwriter Keri Hilson for her pop sensibility and swag as a songwriter; and Five-Time GRAMMY Nominee Tevin Campbell who was honored with the R&B Icon Award. For their nearly six-decade career, The Whispers took home the Legends Award and Soulful Singer Jerry Butler was recognized with the Lifetime Achievement Award for his secular harmonies as the lead singer of the 1960’s group The Impressions.

Honoree performances kicked off with powerhouse vocalists Tasha Page-Lockhart and Crystal Aikin who delivered a shoe-throwing worthy rendition of Mary Mary’s “Yesterday” followed by an energetic, crowd-rocking performance of “Shackles'' from sister starlets Ahjah and Rhea Walls. Songster Eric Roberson serenaded Jerry Butler’s “For Your Precious Love” with a smooth, doo-wap ensemble while music artists Jade Novah, Zonnique and Dondria Nicole turned up the heat with edgy performances of Keri Hilson’s “Pretty Girl Rock,” “Knock You Down,” and “Turnin Me On.”

​Crooners Eric Bellinger and Avery Wilson lended their smooth, buttery vocals to honor music veteran Tevin Campbell by performing “I’m Ready” and the viral hit “Can We Talk.” Teen Prodigy Keedron Bryant also honored Campbell with his own rendition. Other performers who graced the stage with Twitter-worthy performances include Carl Thomas, Kevin Ross, Amber Riley, Sheléa and more who delivered unforgettable performances.

RHOA star, Kandi Burruss, Shares When We Speak TV With Her Followers

We are super late sharing this with you but it is still relevant.......   About two months ago, When We Speak TV, was lucky enough to cover the 2019 Black Music Honors in Atlanta.   The experience was super awesome.   We got the opportunity to speak with several of the honorees and performers such as Yolanda Adams, Major., Freddie Jackson, Arrested Development, Tony Terry, and Mali Music, just to name a few.  R&B group Xscape was also honored that night, however, we didn't get a chance to speak with them.   Thereafter, we saw online that Kandi Burruss of Xscape/ Real Housewives of Atlanta, had sent posted that she was trying out a new texting system.  Of course, like everyone else, we were skeptical about the text.

FAST FORWARD A LITTLE:  

I'm on the phone talking to my sister on the phone and she mentions that she signed up for Kandi's text message.........well, the next morning I woke up and looked on Instagram and saw this notification.

I was so super surprised then I saw that it was my sister who sent out a text to Kandi and she actually posted it to her Instagram story!!!!   In addition, my sister forwarded me a voice message from Kandi, clarifying that it was indeed her!

That totally caught me off guard but thanks Kandi for sharing.....
We still haven't had the opportunity to interview Kandi but we are hopeful!  

THANK YOU KANDI BURRUSS FOR SUPPORING WHEN WE SPEAK TV!
WE HOPE TO SPEAK WITH YOU SOON!

P.S.  If there is anyone out there that can help us book this interview, please let us know.
