Always shining the spotlight on fresh, dynamic talent, BET’s Music Matters will host its monthly showcase tonight in NYC. The event goes down at the downtown hot spot Santos Party House and will feature fellow Music Matters artists Jessica Betts and Chris Turner as well as soulstress Lolah Brown and upstart MC 360.

Austin Brown will be in the house with his usual high energy and retro style, performing his latest hits. As the youngest son of Rebbie Jackson, the singer has already begun living up to the Jackson family's musical legacy, making waves in the music industry with his popular singles “Menage a Trois” and “Target Practice.” Jessica Betts will also surprise the crowd with the premiere of her new music video, “Holding On.”

Tonight’s showcase will be hosted by Buttahman and Vanessa Fraction. Doors open at 8 p.m. and the first performance starts at 8:30 p.m. You must be 21+ to attend the event.
