BossMan Dlow and Teezo Touchdown will perform at Billboard's exclusive concert to close out the summer, iHeartRadio has learned.
The entertainment magazine announced today, July 17, that the prominent Florida rapper and the Texas singer will hit the stage at Billboard's Hip-Hop LIVE in celebration of the outlet's upcoming Hip-Hop/R&B Power Players list. The concert is scheduled for Friday, September 6 at the multifaceted roller rink Xanadu in Brooklyn, N.Y. DJ Miss Milan — who's served as the official DJ for Justine Skye, Saweetie and Doechii — will kick off the show with a special set followed by an array of prominent hits from BossMan Dlow and a closing performance from Teezo Touchdown.
“To come from a small town like Port Salerno and to be recognized by Billboard is unreal. Looking forward to the show," BossMan Dlow tells iHeartRadio. “I’m really performing out there for the fans. A lot of turned-up energy and motion.”
"I credit Hip-Hop as the foundation of my art, so I am honored and excited to perform in the birthstate at such a prestigious ceremony," Teezo says. "If I execute what I'm planning, I should leave with at least one new fan. That's always the goal. It'll be someone's first time experiencing me. It doesn't get newer than discovery."
DJ Miss Milan has slayed her performances at major tours and festivals. She's delivered riveting sets at Beyoncé's "Renaissance World Tour," Doja Cat's "The Scarlet Tour" and Coachella. Meanwhile, BossMan Dlow has captivated the streets with his slick rhymes from hit songs like "Get In With Me" and "Finesse." Fans might see him perform his latest single "PJ" featuring Lil Baby and possibly more new music.
"We'll see. Excited about the new music I’m making right now," Dlow says. "Lil Baby is one of them ones. When I made ‘PJ’ I knew that Baby would sound good on it and so I hit him and he turned that verse around quick, damn near the next day. I had to bring him to Port Salerno for the video and do it big. Hopefully we’ll get some more songs in soon.”
Following the release of his debut album How Do You Sleep At Night?, Teezo Touchdown knocked out major collaborations with Travis Scott, Drake, Don Toliver and more. He recently dropped his latest single "None Of Your Business" which appears on the official soundtrack for Despicable Me 4 executive produced by Pharrell Williams.
"DM4 is the No. 1 movie in the world," Teezo declares. "I'm so present and thankful for everyone involved. Congrats to every department."
Tickets for the 18+ event, sponsored by Remy Martin and State Farm, are on sale now. Remy Martin will serve up signature cocktails made with 1738 Accord Royal at a curated bar experience during the show. Meanwhile, State Farm will deliver exclusive experiences to all attendees with its Good Neighbor Marketplace that features local, Black-owned small businesses.
“We’ve seen groundbreaking achievements from the R&B and Hip-Hop worlds over the past year," Billboard Editorial Director Hannah Karp tells iHeart. "We cannot wait to celebrate the incredible power players behind some of these unforgettable milestones. Our Hip-Hop LIVE event will continue this momentum by spotlighting the next wave of talent, taking the industry and our charts by storm. We couldn’t be more thrilled to have Teezo Touchdown, BossMan Dlow, and DJ Miss Milan join us this year and bring their diverse sounds to the stage."
