News: Run-D.M.C. Will Be First Rap Group to Receive Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award
When it comes to the Grammys’ and Hip Hop, they never really acknowledge the songs and artists that should be. But this year we may be making a little bit of progress as Kendrick Lamar leads with 11 nominations. Well, yesterday it was announced that Run D.M.C. will be the first rap group to receive the 2016 Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. They deserve it and the Hip Hop Community couldn’t be more proud. Congrats goes out to the OG’s. RIP Jam Master Jay!
