Fans of Leandria Johnson, Joshua Rogers, Tasha Page-Lockhart, and a host of other new school Gospel hitmakers have none other than BET’s ‘Sunday’s Best’ to thank for their respective arrivals.  An ‘American Idol’ for Gospel artists, the faith-based reality singing competition ruled the network’s airwaves during its peak as it continuously burned a spotlight on some of the nation’s most talented, yet undiscovered praise-and-worship performers.

After quietly disappearing from BET’s roster in 2015,  the series is being rebooted with an all new, all-star cast of judges.

This week served as a full circle affair for Beyonce.

It marks a year since she annihilated the Coachella stage and etched her name in yet another page of history.

To commemorate the occasion, the superstar singer teamed with Netflix to release docu-concert ‘Homecoming’ along with a companion live album – both of which arrived this week to ample praise.

With much to celebrate, Queen Bey did exactly that by throwing a Homecoming Week bash at Coachella.

Presented in partnership with Adidas and Bey’s Ivy Park (whose monumental partnership was recently announced), the event was an all-out affair; one which paid homage to HBCUs.
