We were posted up at the Radio ONE cowboy shack outside the big stadium as our on-air personalities connected with listeners and roamed the rodeo grounds. Check out Keisha Nicole, Kandi Eastman and J-Mac making their grand entrance via a horse-drawn carriage.

Just before the sun went down, our very own DJ Yams and DJ Tae Boogie started an impromptu block party right outside NRG Stadium. Hey, we play the music, and the folks show up.. but we didn’t expect organized line dances that went all the way into nightfall.

Speaking of NRG Stadium, inside the venue that night, Bun B’s Birthday Bonanza was set to take place with a lineup that included Don Toliver, Coco Jones, Keith Sweat, Jagged Edge, Yolanda Adams and Ludacris. They all performed and did their thing.. but what we have to mention are the surprise guests who also performed.

Tommy Richman of “Million Dollar Fame” popped up and did his hit record, and the legendary Chicago group Do or Die was also in the building and gave fans a trip down memory lane with a few of their classics.

Backstage, we captured footage of the acts connecting with local H-Town legends.
