Tasha Cobbs Leonard‘s “Unscripted Nights Tour” makes its stop in Charlotte on September 11. The tour brings together a powerhouse lineup of gospel and worship artists for an evening promising raw, authentic performances.
Headlining the night is Tasha Cobbs Leonard, joined by fellow artists Kierra Sheard Kelly, Enrique Holmes, Travis Greene, and Roosevelt Stewart. Together, the lineup represents some of the most influential voices in contemporary gospel music, and the “unscripted” theme suggests audiences can expect an intimate, unfiltered concert experience rather than a tightly choreographed show.
The Charlotte date is part of a broader tour presented by Motown Gospel and TeeLee Records, in partnership with the T.D. Jakes Foundation — a pairing that underscores both the musical and ministry dimensions of the event.
Tickets are available now via www.unscriptednightstour.com, and organizers are encouraging fans to secure their seats early given the star-studded bill.

KRS-One has released the official video for “What Is The Message” today, August 11, and the visual matches the spirit of the song with undeniable energy.
Bright, colorful, and deeply rooted in hip-hop culture, the video feels like a visual representation of everything KRS-One has stood for throughout his career. From graffiti-covered walls and trains throughout the city to break-dancers bringing movement and energy to the streets, the video puts the culture front and center.
Vinyl also gets its moment, with record stores and displays featuring classic albums that remind viewers of hip-hop’s rich musical history. At the center of it all is KRS-One himself, delivering his rhymes with the authority, passion, and conviction that have defined his career for decades.
“What Is The Message” is already a captivating track on its own, but the official video takes the experience to another level. Rather than simply accompanying the song, the visual reinforces its message by showcasing the art, movement, music, and community that make hip-hop more than just a genre.
At a time when debates about the state and direction of hip-hop continue, KRS-One offers a simple but powerful reminder through both the song and its visual: authentic hip-hop is not dead.
