Nas, Steve Stoute, Ben Horowitz, And More Join To Award $500K To Hip-Hop ‘Contributors Who Didn’t Get What They Deserved’

It’s one thing to put the spotlight on Hip-Hop culture, but it’s another to properly give its pioneers their dues.

Nas, Steve Stoute, Andreessen Horowitz co-founder Ben Horowitz, and his wife, Felicia Horowitz, have joined forces to not only pay homage to Hip-Hop greats but also provide financial support. The group is behind the first-ever Hip Hop Grandmaster Awards, which is set to honor artists Rakim and Scarface, according to The Paid in Full Foundation’s website. Of the event’s proceeds, 100% will go to the foundation’s programs “to support hip hop greats and other creatives.”
