Salvador Santana, son of Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame inductee Carlos Santana, is working to establish himself as a bonafide musician in his own right.

Critically acclaimed Mississippi rapper and producer Big K.R.I.T. sits down with The Aftermath hosts, Billy Johnson Jr. and Soren Baker, to discuss his independent grind, featuring original production on his mixtapes, recording with Blues legend B.B. King on his album Live From The Underground, and his song "Rich Dad, Poor Dad."

The star-studded Whitney Houston tribute Sunday at the BET Awards moved those in attendance to tears.

Mariah Carey broke down during her opening remarks as she recalled the first time she met Whitney, getting to know her during the promotion of their "Prince of Egypt" collaboration, and spending time with her in London last year.

"I was a tiny bit scared," Carey said about their first meeting. "There were a couple rumors that we had a rivalry … Whitney was not to be toyed with."

But Carey made it clear that she and Houston had a real bond. "I miss my friend," she said, taking a pause to weep. "But we will always have the music."
