GloRilla, Boosie and more to perform at HBCU homecoming

GloRilla, Boosie and King George will all be at one HBCU homecoming this fall.

Alabama A&M University, an HBCU located in the Huntsville, AL area, has begun to announce several of the events for its 2024 homecoming.

GloRilla hails from Memphis, Tennessee. Her rise to fame can be attributed to her distinctive voice and dynamic flow, which set her apart in the industry. Some of her more popular songs include “F.N.F. (Let’s Go),” which became a viral hit and anthem for empowerment and independence. Another notable track is “Blessed,” where she showcases her lyrical prowess and confident persona, as well as her new anthem “T.G.I.F.” GloRilla’s music often resonates with themes of resilience, self-empowerment, and street-smart narratives, reflecting her experiences and the culture of her hometown. Her growing discography and engaging presence have solidified her as a prominent figure in modern rap. She performed at rival Alabama State last fall.

Initially performing under the name Lil Boosie, he gained widespread recognition with hits like “Zoom,” “Wipe Me Down,” and “Set It Off” in the mid-2000s. His music is characterized by its emotional honesty and vivid storytelling, addressing themes such as struggle, perseverance, and survival. His songs can be heard at almost any HBCU athletic event.

And then there is King George. You may or may not know his name but you likely have heard his music. His popular tracks like “Keep On Rollin'” and “Too Long” showcase his talent for crafting memorable melodies and poignant lyrics that capture the nuances of human relationships. With a style reminiscent of old-school soul legends but infused with modern sensibilities, King George has carved out a niche for himself in the music industry.

And for the gospel crowd, Grammy Award winning vocalist Leandria Johnson, 19-time Stellar Award & Dove Award winning artist Pastor Mike Jr., will also be at Alabama A&M homecoming this fall. The event runs from Oct. 5-12.
