Sunday night the 2019 Soul Train Music Awards kicked off at Las Vegas's Orleans Arena to celebrate the best talent in Soul, R&B and Hip-Hop over the course of the year while also honoring industry legends.
It was actresses Tisha Campbell and Tichina Arnold who served as co-host and co-producers of the show. Among those who walked away from the awards with a trophy in hand were Summer Walker, who earned the Best New Artist title and H.E.R. who was awarded as Best R&B/Soul Female Artist.
Walker appeared onstage very briefly to thank her LVRN label and management team and producer London On Da Track.
Chris Brown and Lizzo were among the top winners of the night with the latter taking home trophies for Video of The Year ("Juice) and for Album Of The Year for Cuz I Love You.
