Rakim and Scarface are set to be honored by the Paid In Full Foundation for their contributions to Hip-Hop. The organization will reward the two men with $500,000 during Friday’s (Nov. 17) inaugural Hip-Hop Grandmaster Awards in Las Vegas.
According to the foundation’s official site, Nas, and Ben & Felicia Horowitz are curating the cultural celebration. Ben Horowitz spoke about the foundation’s inception and why it was paramount for Hip-Hop legends to be honored and supported.
“We created the Paid in Full Foundation to honor foundational Hip-Hop artists who made colossal contributions to the art form and society as a whole,” Ben said in a press release. “In addition, the foundation aims to enable these legendary heroes to continue sharing their brilliance with the world. We are ecstatic that Rakim and Scarface will accept our Grandmaster Award this year.”
