The prestigious honor will be bestowed upon them by the Recording Academy and the Black Music Collective at a pre-Grammy event on February 2 at the Hollywood Palladium. They are being recognized “for their personal and professional achievements in the music industry.”

“I am so thrilled to honor and celebrate these four giants in the music industry,” said academy CEO Harvey Mason Jr. in a statement. “Last year’s inaugural event was such a highlight during GRAMMY Week, and now with Dre, Missy, Wayne, and Sylvia there to pay tribute, it’s definitely going to be another night to remember. I continue to be proud of the work of our Black Music Collective as it’s a vital part of what we do here at the Academy.”

Last year, John Legend, MC Lyte, D-Nice, and the record label Love Renaissance (LVRN) — home to Summer Walker, 6lack, and other acts — received the Recording Academy Global Impact Award.

Dr. Dre has won seven Grammys and this year picked up his first Emmy for his epic Super Bowl halftime show performance alongside Mary J. Blige, Eminem, Snoop Dogg, 50 Cent, and Kendrick Lamar. He’s not only produced all of his own hit songs but also crafted hits for numerous artists including Snoop Dogg, Blige, Lamar, Eminem, 50 Cent, Jay-Z, Eve, Nas, Busta Rhymes, Gwen Stefani, Anderson .Paak, and more.

Lil Wayne, also a five-time Grammy winner, has dominated the rap and pop music scene for years. His hits include “Lollipop,” “Stuntin Like My Daddy,” “6 Foot 7 Foot,” and “A Milli.” He’s a highly requested collaborator and helped launch the careers of Drake and Nicki Minaj.
