As Black Music Month draws to a close it’s fitting that is is one of the busiest weekends yet this year for Black Music. The BET Awards and it’s newest component – the BET Experience features a weekend’s worth of partying, concerts and the Big Show. Anthony Hamilton and Mary J. Blige continue their runs across the country on their respective tours. And where there’s black music, there must be Beyonce, who does two concerts in the L.A. area and one in Vegas in the next few days. Whew! Mrs. Carter don’t play. Here’s the rest of what’s going on this weekend.
