BET Awards week finished with a bang at "RnB Live: Hollywood" this Wednesday evening. Reprise/Warner Bros. Records recording artist KeAnthony kicked-off the evening with a commanding performance and screening of his short film A Hustlaz Story.

KeAnthony performed amongst a line-up of talented performers and peers including Anthony Hamilton, Ne-Yo, Keyshia Cole, Mario, Brian McKnight, Aaron Hall, Lil' Mama, Chante Moore and Marsha Ambrosius of Floetry amongst others.

A Hustlaz Story starring KeAnthony, Michael K. Williams (Omar from HBO's The Wire), Alisha Renee (BET's Black Carpet) and R&B veteran, Tank, chronicles the painful past of an aspiring singer and provided the packed-audience a glimpse of the journey behind the man. The film will air in it's entirety on BET throughout July.
