Dancehall star Shenseea, who recently did a Crocodile Teeth freestyle on Hot 97 with DJ Funkmaster Flex, was hot and ready to perform at the over two decades annual event.
Bringing the heat as “Rubi Rose”, Shenseea appeared in a full red mesh bodysuit, covered by only a red corset, and complemented by her silver Shenyeng necklace and silver red bottoms. Performing Blessed, Sheng Yeng Anthem and even getting the crowd to say “Bumbocl—t” was the perfect addition of Dancehall and Caribbean flavor to the Hip Hop Concert.
