The 4th Annual Urban One Honors are back and set to air on Monday, January 17, 2022— Martin Luther
King, Jr. Day, at 8/7c on TV One and Cleo TV.
This year’s theme is “The Soundtrack of Black America” and R&B crooner Ne-Yo will be taking on hosting duties for the big event. Ahead of Monday’s show, I got to sit down exclusively to chat with Ne-Yo about the show, his new album, the track he crafted for the new Aaliyah album, and more.
