With the 57th GRAMMYs week comes the much-anticipated awards, surrounding events, parties and sadly the anniversary of THE VOICE Whitney Houston’s passing. With plans to keep the R&B genre and Houston’s legacy lifted, Kelly Price hosted her annual For The Love of R&B Grammy event. This year’s event was titled ‘For The Love of R&B, For The Love of Whitney. Price honored Houston and the famed singer gave tribute to Bobbi Kristina Brown who is in the hospital after being found unresponsive in her bathtub. The tribute featured stellar performances from Sevyn Streeter, Goapele, Faith Evans, Angie Fisher, Antonique Smith, B Slade and more.
Whitney made her last public appearance before her untimely death in February 2012 at Price’s same pre-GRAMMY For the Love of R&B event, where they sang a duet of “Jesus Loves Me.” This year, Kelly revives her same epic event which continues to prove to be a night of musical excellence.
Before kicking off her hosting duties, Kelly stated,
“Bobbi Kristina is in the hospital and her condition is very serious. I will say this one thing and this one thing only: Please continue to pray for her as she fights for her life. She is a young woman who deserves a chance to live and to thrive and experience the greatness that is inside of her and come into her own,” she continued. “I will ask you all to say a prayer. If prayer is not your thing, send love. Send your love and well wishes to the entire family.”
Price also stated,
“It is important to be here tonight because this is an incredible genre of music. I personally believe that it is under appreciated and underexposed these days and so this was created to be a Grammy week platform that gives us the opportunity to recognize each other for what we do and pick a person that we want to.”
Kelly kicked off the musical celebration with a “R&B check” singing a medley of classic R&B hits from various artists. She was then joined by her co-hosts Faith Evans and Isaiah Washington. The trio took turns bringing up various performers. In the beginning various singers sung random selections of their own music and then the night transitioned into a full out Whitney Houston tribute. With Sevyn Streeter singing “I Wanna Dance With Somebody.” Melanie Amaro delivered and amazing rendition of Houston’s “I Have Nothing.” B Slade brought the house down with his performance of “The Greatest Love of All” Goapele brought sass and sexy to “Saving All My Love For You.”
Price also wanted to note that they planned to lift up R&B Grammy nominees.
“So this year, as we recognize the Grammy nominees in the R&B category, we are going to celebrate those who have been making this music for decades, who we model ourselves after and hope to be as great as.”
Price and Evans closed out the event by performing “Heartbreak Hotel” to a roaring applause from the crowd.

(AllHipHop News) Slaughterhouse member Kxng Crooked (fka Crooked I) is teaming with producer Statik Selektah for the joint album Statik KXNG. The duo’s project was inspired by fellow SH rapper Royce da’ 5’9″ and DJ Premier’s 2014 collaborative LP PRyhme.
“Crooked and I have been talking about doing something for a minute and when I saw DJ Premier and Royce release PRyhme, I was like, ‘Now is perfect,'” states Statik. “So we’re gonna knock out ten classics and keep the ball rolling. I think Crooked is one of the most analyzed yet under-mentioned MCs ever.”
“I always wanted to do a project with Statik because I feel like his production embodies the same thing my rhyme style does: raw Hip Hop,” adds Crooked. “Sh*t that’s true to the art. Plus, we’re just two of the illest at what we do in the game today so it makes perfect sense.”
Statik KXNG will be released via a partnership formed between ShowOff Records and Penalty Entertainment. The album is expected to hit stores this spring.
“I’m pleased to be working with two of the most talented guys in the game. Penalty is more than excited to be a part of the release of the Statik Selektah and Kxng Crooked collaborative album Statik KXNG,” says Penalty CEO Neil Levine.
With all of the love and acclaim falling from the skies on Royce Da 5’9″ and DJ Premier, collectively known as PRhyme, you have to wonder why they didn’t round up third member Adrian Young and put this Hip-Hop head’s heaven together sooner. Well in part one of our exclusive interview, Primo tells AHH’s MrMecc exactly how PRhyme’s time was born.
With their original series Orange Is The New Black becoming a favorite among millions, Netflix is back with another show that uses 70’s hip-hop as its muse.
The Get Down follows a group of friends who navigate the gritty and broken down streets of the turbulent South Bronx during the 1970s. While having nothing and no one, accept their brotherhood, they keep themselves busy with dancing, graffiti and everything that the up-and-coming hip-hop culture embodied at that time.
“In this golden era of TV, the Netflix culture puts no constraint on creative possibilities,” Cindy Holland, vice president of original content at Netflix, told The Hollywood Reporter. “So it is a natural home for The Get Down, a project I have been contemplating and working on now for over 10 years. Throughout, I’ve been obsessed with the idea of how a city in its lowest moment, forgotten and half-destroyed, could give birth to such creativity and originality in music, art and culture. I’m thrilled to be working with my partners at Sony and collaborating with a team of extraordinary writers and musicians, many of whom grew up with and lived the story we’ve set out to tell.”
The series, which was created by director and producer Baz Luhrmann, has been in the works since 2013 and will be premiering in 2016 with 13 episodes.
