The event features performances by Coast Contra and appearances from notable artists including DJ Drama, DJ Hed, and Samantha Ronson. Attendees will enjoy an open bar and live DJ sets throughout the night.
All proceeds benefit the i.am Angel Foundation's emergency fund, supporting affected families, students, and communities through partnerships with LAUSD Foundation, Pasadena Educational Foundation, and Core Foundations.
Coinciding with this event, UPROXX has released its 7th Annual Music Critics Poll, featuring input from nearly 300 music industry experts. The poll introduces two new categories this year:
- Top 20 Music Videos
- Top 20 Album Covers
These additions complement the existing Top 50 Albums and Top 20 Songs categories, following the success of UPROXX's Sound+Vision Awards. The poll represents a comprehensive overview of 2024's musical landscape, evaluating over 900 albums and 700 songs.
