Providence College Announces 2019 Late Night Madness
8/8/2019 3:12:00 PM | Men's Basketball, Women's Basketball
PROVIDENCE, R.I. - The Providence College Athletic Department announced today that its annual Late Night Madness event, which is scheduled for Saturday, October 5, will be held at the Dunkin' Donuts Center for the first time. Late Night Madness, which is the official tip off to the 2019-20 men's and women's basketball seasons, is part of Providence College's inaugural Homecoming Weekend. Students and their families, faculty and staff, alumni and season ticket holders are able to purchase tickets for the event. The event will include student performances, men's and women's basketball introductions and competitions and nationally-recognized performers - John Legend and A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie.
John Legend is a critically acclaimed, multi-award winning, platinum-selling singer-songwriter. His work has garnered him 10 Grammy Awards, an Academy Award, a Golden Globe Award and a Tony Award, among many others. Throughout his career, Legend has worked to make a difference in the lives of others. In 2007, he launched the Show Me Campaign (ShowMeCampaign.org), an initiative that focuses on education as a key to break the cycle of poverty. The 2010 BET Humanitarian of the Year Award, the 2009 CARE Humanitarian Award for Global Change, the 2009 Bishop John T. Walker Distinguished Humanitarian Service Award from Africare and the 2011 Harvard Foundation Artist of the Year Award, all recognized Legend's efforts and leadership in this arena. Legend also serves as one of the principles for Get LiftedFilm Co., a film and television production company based in Los Angeles. Get Lifted Film Co. serves as Executive Producers on the HBO documentary "Southern Rites," Pop Network docu-series "Sing it On", WGN America's series "Underground," and films such as "Southside With You" and "La La Land."
The Bronx-bred rapper, Artist Dubose, better known as A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie, first hit the rap scene with the breakout hit "Still Think About You" which was featured on his 2016 debut mixtape, ARTIST. A Boogie quickly proved himself to be one of the game's newest heavyweights after XXL dubbed him as "one of the hottest and newest up-and-comers in hip-hop" and included him in the 2017 Freshman Class. The young star also went on to release the triple-platinum "Drowning feat. Kodak Black" along with the platinum certified singles "Jungle" and "Timeless." During the fall of 2017, A Boogie went on to release his highly anticipated, now gold certified, debut album, THE BIGGER ARTIST, which quickly sprung into the Top 5 on Billboard's Top-200. He also became the top emerging artist in the U.S. as he simultaneously sprung to No. 1 on Billboard's Emerging Artists chart. It is easy to see why The New York Times named A Boogie "the most promising young rapper the city has produced in some time." A Boogie earned a BET Award Nomination for "Best New Artist" at the end of 2018 in addition to releasing his gold-certified sophomore album, HOODIE SZN, which made its debut at No. 2 before spending three, nonconsecutive weeks at No. 1 and maintaining a stunning 17-week streak within the top 10 on the Billboard Top 200 chart. The album also soared on streaming, garnering over 83 millions streams the week it went No. 1. Following his latest album as well as his "A Boogie Vs. Artist" tour which wrapped with 26 of its 30 dates sold out, there's no doubt A Boogie will continue to make waves and redefine the sound of New York rap.
