What it do, y'all?
00:00
Can I get a yeah?
00:01
Yeah.
00:03
Oh, I love that.
00:04
I love that.
00:04
I love that.
00:06
So I'm here to present the next award to a brother of mine,
00:10
a perennial king in love making ballads and pillow talk
00:13
confessions.
00:14
Lucky Day has become the new age blueprint in R&B.
00:19
Women swoon because when this brother croons,
00:21
it's smooth like butter.
00:23
After his 2019 breakthrough painted,
00:26
Lucky Day put the world on notice
00:27
and let them know that New Orleans isn't
00:29
just the home of Frank Ocean, but another R&B superstar
00:33
capable of driving the genre forward.
00:36
By aligning himself with D-Mile early in his career,
00:40
Lucky became a risk taker, stretching
00:42
the boundaries of his creativity as proven
00:44
by his new album, Algorithm.
00:47
His versatility remains unmatched there
00:50
as he tap dances through various soundscapes
00:52
with relative ease.
00:54
Ultimately, the R&B gods rewarded him for his efforts
00:58
as he earned his first number one on R&B Adult this year
01:02
as a lead artist with That's You.
01:07
From songwriter to Grammy Award winner,
01:11
Lucky Day is one of the reasons why R&B will continue
01:14
to shine for years to come.
01:16
So without further ado, Billboard
01:19
would like to present this year's Torchbearer
01:21
Award to Lucky Day.
01:30
My brother.
01:32
Thank you, man.
01:33
How y'all doing, man?
01:34
How y'all doing?
01:36
Oh, you had a teleprompter.
01:41
Look, hey, y'all look beautiful, man.
01:43
I want to say thank you to Billboard.
01:46
I want to say thanks to all my friends, all the peers
01:48
that support me.
01:50
I couldn't do it without them.
01:53
This signifies that Billboard sees the light in my music of love and of happiness.
02:00
And that's all I strive to do, man.
02:02
And I am in it for the long haul, and longevity is in me, so yeah, you right about that.
02:06
I'm not going to stop, and I'm going to continue to evolve R&B.
02:10
Tonight we celebrate.
