Our 5 fave moments from the Soul Train Awards

The 30th annual Soul Train Awards aired last night and served us some very memorable moments. Some of the big winners of the night include Bruno Mars who took home five awards and the third annual Lady of Soul honourees, popular 90’s R&B group SWV.

Here are five moments that had us jumping out of our seats.

1. The soul snatching cypher featuring Bilal, Mali Music, Fantasia, Faith Evans and Robert Glasper.
