R & B Kickback To Take Over Gem City Tonight;
Ashanti, 112 Headline Concert; Yalee To Perform
By Deon Cash
The second version of the infamous Kickback Concert is set to launch today, as the CEO of Owens Entertainment has done it again.
Tommy Owens, one of, if not, the biggest promoter in the Midwest, put together a concert last year that was second to none, bringing the likes of Dru Hill, Jon B, Jagged Edge and others that set the city of Dayton on fire.
"The Kickback" which was Sponsored by Michael Wright, who is one of top Attorneys in the country, turned out to be a wildy successful event last summer In the Gem City.
So Owens decided to run it back.
Ashanti, who was one of the biggest names in the original Kickback, had herself a time here in the DYT.
So much so, that the pregnant top tier artist formerly from Murder Inc. decided to run it back as well with T.O.
Ashanti is now Co-Headlining with legendary Bad Boy group 112 as the event will jump off tonight at the Schuster Center in Downtown Dayton.
"We're very excited to bring Ashanti back and add 112 to the Kickback. Tonight should be a special night for everyone involved." Owens stated.
There are a few tickets that are still available, you have to go to
