Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the incredible Brent Faiyaz.

What's wrong with you? Let me, ah, first thank the staff and everyone at Billboard for allowing me to grace this cover. I appreciate you very much, but please make some noise being in this room. You know, everybody here, make a little noise about yourselves being here. I didn't prepare any speeches… and, you know, we're independent, so we roll with the punches and slowly. But I'll just say one thing. It's one thing to have people love what you do and appreciate your art and what you put out, and it's another thing to be recognized by your peers, and that's right here. So let me recognize my brother, Ty Baisden for executive of the year.

Like my brother, I didn't prepare a speech, but I want to thank God first. I want to thank my mom, my family, my culture. I want to thank Malana at STEM. I want to thank Troy in Venice and the whole Billboard team for really taking the time and honoring us in a really great way and, yeah, pretty much, dude, stay independent.
