Putting the spotlight on the hottest new talent, BET's Music Matters will host another monthly showcase tonight in NYC. The event series has a new location, the famous SOB's and will feature Music Matters artists Gwen Bunn, Young Savage and Q. Parker.

Brooklyn's Skyzoo will also do his thing on stage and perform tracks from his latest album, A Dream Deferred. Citing J. Dilla as his biggest inspiration and favorite producer, the rapper has a classic hip hop sound with lyrical skills to match. Vaughn Anthony will also perform showcasing his R&B skills, living up to the high expectations set by his older brother, John Legend.

Tonight's performances will be hosted by Buttahman and Vanessa Fraction. Doors open at 8 p.m. and the first artist will hit the stage at 8:30 p.m. You must be 21+ to attend the event.
