As executive producer, on-air host and contributor for the channel, Foxx will draw from his wide array of artistic experience and success from music, comedy, film and television.

The 24/7 channel will feature urban comedy bits from a large number of comedians, and will create groundbreaking approaches to presenting comedy to radio listeners, as well as showcase music, skits, radio theater and more. The Foxxhole will launch this spring on SIRIUS channel 106.

Foxx will be heard on the channel daily with a segment featuring dispatches from Jamie no matter where he is in the world. Also, Foxx and his team of contributors will host a weekly show on the channel. The show will feature original comedy bits and a new approach to radio theater.

He was named Favorite Male Soul/R&B Artist and dedicated his performance of "Wish U Were Here" to his mother. He was also nominated for Favorite Album. "Gold Digger," his collaboration with Kanye West, spent 10 weeks at #1 on the Billboard Top 100 and also received GRAMMY nominations for Record of the Year and Best Rap Solo Performance.
