![]() ![]() Tuma Basa, YouTube’s director of Black Music and Culture, described the concert - with rising stars Yendry and Yung Baby, R&B superstar Sullivan and living legend Blige - as an example of how YouTube can lead young, new creatives to the path of greatness. Blige blessed fans with her signature “Mary Bop” dance as she sang cuts like “Real Love,” “Be Happy,” and “Just Fine” before ending the night with “Family Affair.” Hip-hop legend D-Nice did a 15-minute DJ set to keep the crowd energized for Blige, who came out to a standing ovation as she ran through a medley of her greatest hits. She ended her mini-set with “Let It Burn” and “Need You Bad,” to which the audience drowned her out as they sang along. Sullivan and her band immediately appeared on stage to colossal cheers as she broke into fan-favorite “Bust The Windows.” The Grammy-nominated vocal powerhouse brought the crowd to their feet with “Pick Up Your Feelings” and “Girl Like Me,” two songs from her current project, Heaux Tales. ![]() Yung Baby Tate Performs at YouTube Concert at the Apollo Theater in Harlem during Advertising Week/ Photo Credit: Steven EloiseauĪrmed with her all-woman ensemble of two dancers and a DJ, Yung Baby Tate went back and forth between rapping and singing as she navigated the trap rhythms and anthemic hooks of her five tracks.
