The stage has been set for the 2012 edition of the Greatest Homecoming on Earth and some of the biggest names in rap and R&B have been chosen to put the cap on student events.

Headlining this year’s student concert, sponsored by the Student Government and the Student Union Activities Board, will be R&B superstar Trey Songz and rapper 2 Chainz.

The concert will also feature rappers Young Jeezy and Big Sean as well as up and coming singer, Elle Varner. Bradley says the board has also been working toward making Homecoming week a family event.
