Rooted in a legacy that has long recognized leadership, cultural impact, and musical excellence, the bamX-BAM! “Era of Soul” Awards return as a signature moment of Black Music Week — honoring those who move the industry forward.

This is not about hype. This is about contribution.

Those who build platforms. Those who create opportunity. Those who shift culture.

bamX-BAM! is the creative and cultural collaboration between bamX and BAM! at SCAD — two platforms united in their commitment to advancing Black American music, arts, and culture through recognition, education, and community.
