N.W.A may have once been the World’s Most Dangerous Group, but the gangsta rap pioneers could become the world’s most honored after the announcement that Dr. Dre, Ice Cube, and co. will receive a lifetime achievement award during Grammys week.
The Recording Academy, the organization that organizes the Grammys, announced on Friday (January 5) that the group would be among the recipients of the 2024 Lifetime Achievement Award.
The award will be presented on February 3 at the Wilshire Ebell Theatre in Los Angeles.
According to the Academy, the Lifetime Achievement Award is “presented by vote of the Recording Academy’s National Trustees to performers who, during their lifetimes, have made creative contributions of outstanding artistic significance to the field of recording.”
