If a higher ground is what you seek, then let's go higher on The Message this week.

Your messenger of the night can't see how their messages made history. They'll start the night making you ‘believe’, then brand new songs, I've got just three. If you want more? This music drops on Sesame Street like “broken clocks”. We'll then go higher and higher still, ‘let God sort 'em out’ and let Kendrick take the bill. We go higher still, up to music class. Ms Jackson gon help you elevate the class. With grace and sass, she illustrates control. With two more songs to help you go hard or go home. The message of the night will close the show on high note. If you seek a higher ground, seek The Message this week, yo!
