Dr. Dre, Missy Elliott, Lil Wayne and Sylvia Rhone to be honored by Grammys Black Music Collective

Grammy Award-winning artists Dr. Dre, Missy Elliott and Lil Wayne, and President/CEO of Epic Records Sylvia Rhone will be honored at the Recording Academy Honors Presented by the Black Music Collective event taking place during Grammy Week at the Hollywood Palladium on Thursday, February 2, 2023. The four winners will receive the Recording Academy Global Impact Award for their and professional achievements in the music industry.

First-time Grammy-nominated Adam Blackstone to return as musical director of event and the Recording Academy Board Vice President of Trustees, Rico Love, will also return to chair the event (naturally enough). The event is sponsored by Amazon Music and Google Pixel. MVD Inc will return for the second year to produce the event.

"I am thrilled to honor and celebrate these four giants of the music industry" , said the Recording Academy. CEO Harvey Mason Jr. "Last year's inaugural event was such a highlight during Grammy week and now with Dre, Missy, Wayne and Sylvia honoring this year, it's sure to be another night to remember. I continue to to be proud of the work of our Black Music Collective as it is an essential part of what we do here at the Academy."

The 65th Annual Grammy Awards will be held at the Crypto.com Arena (formerly known as Staples Center) in Los Angeles on February 5, 2023 and broadcast live on CBS.
