2 Chainz will headline the live halftime show performance of Honda’s Battle of the Bands (HBOB) Invitational Showcase. The former Hornet will perform his classics at Alabama State University as part of a historic year in which the first HBCU college hosts HBOB, now in its 18th year. Rickey Smiley, an ASU alumnus and legendary comic, will present the HBOB showcase, while award-winning comedian and actress Loni Love will host the HBOB livestream. “As an HBCU and Alabama State alum, I am always looking for ways to support the HBCU community and pay it forward and performing at this year’s Honda Battle of the Bands is an incredible way to accomplish it,” said 2 Chainz. “HBOB brings together my commitment to supporting HBCU culture and my love for music and I’m not only excited to perform but looking forward to seeing the talented student musicians shine. “Honda Battle of the Bands has always been more than just entertainment, but an opportunity to share the unique and critical role the nation’s HBCUs play in higher education and society,” said Yvette Hunsicker, vice president of Corporate Social Responsibility and Inclusion & Diversity at American Honda Motor Co., Inc. “As Honda celebrates our more than 30-year relationship with HBCUs, we are excited to support the music education and career development programs for their students by providing a $50,000 grant to each participating school in this year’s HBOB Invitational Showcase.
