Shortly after, V. Bozeman grabbed the emotions of the audience as she opened her set with a bold musical performance of Race Jones. In the wake of Mike Brown’s shooting, Bozeman choose to use this single as a platform for change. Bozeman encouraged the audience to stand in their greatness and also told the crowd that as an artist it is her responsibility to utilize her platform to uplift people. Bozeman continued her set with a cover of Michel’le Something in my Heart. The Empire star then performed her #1 downloaded single What is Love. Bozeman closed the set with her newest single, GO.
