This past Saturday night, Detroit’s FM98 WJLB’s annual “Big Show @ The Joe” featured some very dope faces in hip hop and R&B, and boasted a few surprises as well.
Headlining the event was the hometown reppin’ Big Sean, with Trey Songz, J. Cole, Kendrick Lamar, August Alsina, and Ty Dolla $ign. Special guests were in the building, from Big Sean’s “Finally Famous” crew, to the Breakfast Club hosts Charlemagne The God, Angela Yee and DJ Envy, not to forget an impromptu stage performance (and peep show… ahem.. nipple-flashing wardrobe malfunction) from Jhene Aiko who who provided the live female vocals on “Beware” with Big Sean before performing “The Worst”.
Most impressive moment of the night? J.Cole and his full band adding powerful style and creative musical art to his set, but then again, when has a J. Cole performance ever been disappointing?
Additional performances from Icewear Vezzo whose Clarity 3 mixtape was recently released early June.

Detroit was definitely the place to be over the weekend.
