DAY ONE- JAZZ IN THE GARDENS 2024<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

Jaheim came on stage and delivered vocally despite appearing to have technical sound difficulties. The R&B crooner belted out his hits \u201cPut That woman First, Anything and Finding My Way Back.\u201d It was clear that he had all of the women\u2019s attention and support, while we sang along and waved our hands to his sensual voice and timeless lyrics.<\/p>\n

Fantasia hit the stage in true Diva fashion adorned in a black bodysuit with peek-a-boo black leather pants. Fantasia is a big talent in her own right and knows how to work a stage like nobody\u2019s business. She sang her heart out to \u201cTruth Is, Lose to Win and Free Yourself.\u201d The crowd went wild when she took her shoes off! Everyone knows that it\u2019s about to go down when the shoes come off. She did not disappoint!! I loved her performance.<\/p>\n

Kirk Franklin brought the energy and praise to JITG stage. The festival patrons were on their feet during his entire performance. We sang along with him to \u201cStomp, Smile and Silver & Gold.\u201d Kirk announced that this was his first time at this festival, and I\u2019m betting it won\u2019t be his last. This was one of my favorite performances of the two day festival.<\/p>\n

Davido traveled all the way from Nigeria to bring us his biggest hits. He sang \u201cFall, Unavailable, & Sensational.\u201d We were grateful for his journey and his musical talents. Davido is on the rise in the afro beats genre and I\u2019m here for it.<\/p>\n

Jazmine Sullivan once again proved that she belongs in this musical era. Her voice is both soulful and melodic. It was a treat to hear her sing her hits \u201cBust Your Windows, Pick Up Your Feelings and On It (featuring Ari Lennox).\u201d This grammy award winning artist can hold her own when it comes to this music thang.<\/p>\n

DJ Kid Capri did not come to play when he touched the turntables! His mixing skills are unmatched and he had the crowd motivated to have a good time. He mentioned that he has new album dropping soon and he became emotional talking about it. I know that it will be a banger!<\/p>\n

Pheelz is a Nigerian born record producer who has taken the bull by the horns in this afro beats arena. He is energetic and engaging in his stage presence.\u00a0\u00a0Pheelz performed his hits \u201cFinesse and JELO.\u201d Be on the lookout for more jams from this young man. No one hit wonders over there!<\/p>\n

Summer Walker was the epitome of R&B princess. She is beautiful, talented and grammy nominated, a triple threat! Summer looked breathtaking in a white sequined dress. It was no surprise that her performance would mesmerize the crowd and captivate her audience. She sang \u201cGirls Need Love, No Love & Body.\u201d<\/p>\n

DAY TWO- JAZZ IN THE GARDENS 2024<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

Babyface has earned countless accolades for his singing, songwriting and producing, during the course of his career. From my perspective, he is definitely deemed as \u201clegendary.\u201d I must say that it was truly a pleasure to witness his performance at JITG on Sunday. He sang some of his greatest hits that included \u201c Whip Appeal, When Will I See You Again, Every time I Close My Eyes\u201d, and some that he has written for other artists such as Bobby Brown, Whitney Houston, Toni Braxton to name a few. Babyface\u2019s extensive catalogue is staggering and bursting with chart-topping, award winning musical eargasms. He mentioned that he would be turning 65 years old this year, but I don\u2019t see any signs of him slowing down anytime soon.<\/p>\n

October London gave a passionate performance as he sang \u201cDistant Lover, Mulholland Drive and Back to Your Place.\u201d This young man exudes sex appeal and is definitely in his grown man phase with this album. It\u2019s no doubt in my mind that he is destined to be one of the great ones. October paid homage to Jazzy Pha and Snoop Dog for giving him his big break and signing him with Death Row Records.<\/p>\n

Tamia graced the stage looking radiant in a beautiful, flowy romper dress with makeup beat to the Gods. She is just as talented as she is beautiful. Tamia serenaded us with some of her most popular hits. She sang \u201cCan\u2019t Get Enough\u201d, while the background singers and the crowd did the line dance created for this song. Tamia also performed \u201cI\u2019m So Into You and Stranger In My House.\u201d<\/p>\n

Scarface touched the stage in true \u201cOG\u201d fashion in blue jeans and a navy blue t-shirt. He spit bars to the likes of \u201cSmile, On My Block, Mind Playing Tricks On Me and F*ck Faces.\u201d Who knew that Scarface played the guitar? Now we all do! He paid homage to Bushwick Bill, who died in June 2019.<\/p>\n

Marsha Ambrosius has the makings of a musical icon with her sultry and jazz-like vocals. She can hang with the best of the female R&B singers and hold her own. I was blown away by her ability to charm and seduce the crowd at the same time with her engaging performance. She sang \u201cButterflies\u201d which she wrote for the late King of Pop, Michael Jackson. Also, she sang \u201cSay Yes and Far Away.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jeezy the Snowman stole the show!!! He has hits on top of hits in his repertoire that had the crowd on its feet and reciting every word! We jammed to \u201cStanding Ovation, Trap or Die, Dem Boyz and Go Crazy\u201d, just to name a few. It was incredible the way he had everyone dancing and rapping along with him and his DJ. It\u2019s no wonder why he is dubbed \u201cthe Snowman\u201d, because he is certainly one of the coldest rappers in the game.<\/p>\n

DJ Cassidy\u2019s Pass The Mic Live was EPIC!! We were groovin\u2019 to dope hits from some of the most incredible artists known to man. The suspense was killing me to see who DJ Cassidy was bringing on stage. Finally, Uncle Luke came on stage and performed Pop That P*ssy, I wanna Rock & It\u2019s Your Birthday.\u201d Up next was Too Short with \u201cBig Booty Hoes, Blow the Whistle and Shake That Monkey.\u201d Lil Kim made her way to the stage to perform \u201cCrush on You, Lighters Up and Magic Stick.\u201d Last but not least, T.I. performed \u201cWhatever Like, What You Know and Live Your Life.\u201d This segment was electric and energetic!<\/p>\n
