Atlantic City, get ready to see Jhene Aiko as you’ve never seen her before! Jhene is a true music industry stalwart, having amassed over a decade's worth of features on singles, albums, and mixtapes by A-listers such as Kendrick Lamar, Wale, Big Sean, Logic, J. Cole, Drake, and others. Most recently, Jhene is featured on Big Sean's single "Beware" from his Hall of Fame album. She is also featured on Drake's "From Time." On top of her epic music credits, Jhene has participated in the Beats By Dre "Pill Box" and "Show Your Color" campaigns and was nominated in Billboard's 2013"Next Big Diva" competition. She has a massive social media following.
Newcomer Queen Naija will join these ladies on the big stage. This singer, songwriter has cemented her status as one of R&B’s most compelling young stars. Hailed as “the first soul star of the social media generation” by The New York Times, the 25-year-old Detroit native has amassed over three billion combined global streams to date. Queen struck out on her own with her breakthrough single “Medicine,” which debuted at No. 45 on the Billboard Hot 100 (a nearly-unheard-of achievement for an unsigned artist) and quickly landed her a deal with Capitol Records. Her 2018 critically acclaimed self-titled EP debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Emerging Artists chart and earned major recognition in the 2019 awards season, including nominations for Top R&B Artist at the Billboard Music Awards and Best New Artist at the BET Awards, in addition to three nods at the iHeartRadio Music Awards. In October 2020, she released missunderstood, a five-song project featuring three platinum-certified singles: “Butterflies,” “Karma,” and “Medicine.” This project proved to be another smash success for Queen, debuting at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top R&B Albums chart and cracking the top 10 on the Billboard 200.
