Sleep Train Pavilion in Concord hosts a rare night of urban soul and hip-hop performers headlined by controversial R&B vocalist Chris Brown Saturday night. a veteran at only 22, Brown scored his first huge hit when his debut Scott Storch-produced single “Run it!” went straight to the top of the Billboard singles chart when he was only 16.that success helped make Brown’s self-titled 2005 debut become one of the biggest R&B albums of the year. After co-headlining a successful summer tour with Ne-Yo, Brown quickly began production for his second studio album, ‘Exclusive.’ Released in November 2007, it achieved similar status, selling almost 300,000 in its first week and would eventually go platinum on the strength of the hits “Kiss Kiss” (which featured vocals and production by T-Pain), “With You” and the duet with ‘American Idol’ star with Jordin Sparks, “No Air.”While Brown had some success with his next album ‘Graffiti’ in 2009, it was overshadowed by his infamous arrest for domestic assault involving then girlfriend Rhianna. though he avoided jail time, Brown pleaded guilty to a felony and accepted a plea deal of community labor and five years’ formal probation. Brown has experienced something of a comeback with his latest effort ‘F.a.M.E.’ and it’s smash singles “Yeah 3x” and “Look at Me Now” featuring rappers Lil Wayne and Busta Rhymes.
