BET Weekend Last Year 2024
Artist Who Got Signed 🎤 At Last Year's Rollout
During BET Awards Weekend 2024, 2HotRadio partnered with The Rollout to give independent artists real opportunities — and it paid off big. Artist Flex Jaxn hit the stage, got noticed by major label exec Shawn Barron (the same exec who signed Leon Thomas and partners with Ty Dolla $ign), and landed a record deal. Now, Flex is featured on a remix with Chris Brown and Leon Thomas — proof that this platform can change lives. And in 2025, the industry's watching even closer. Watch the video below to hear from Flex Jaxn.
