Jay-Z @S_C_ To Be Honoured With @RecordingAcad Salute To Industry Icons Award

By @Spokenpriestess on 11/01/2017 in News

Is it safe to say that Sean Carter is by far one of the most prolific musical influences of our time? Agreed! 

Jay-Z will receive yet another prestigious honour for his contributions to the music industry as well as his humanitarian work. As part of the 6th Annual GRAMMY's, Jay-Z will be honoured the day before the main event (27th January 2018) at the Pre-Grammy Gala. 

The president and CEO of the Recording Academy Neil Portnow, as well as the evening's slated host Cliev Davis both agree that Jay-Z is more than deserving of this award. Here's what Neil had to say about the honour: "We are absolutely thrilled and delighted to honour Jay-Z with this year’s GRAMMY Salute to Industry Icons Award. His contributions as an industry trailblazer and music visionary only begin to touch on the tremendous impact he’s made both in entertainment and beyond. Jay-Z also embodies the vibrant spirit of New York City and we couldn’t imagine a more fitting honouree as we return to Manhattan for this year’s GRAMMY Awards."

Well then, bravo to Mr Carter. You see what happens when you continue to do you with vigour and consistency? We're mad inspired!
