The “I Am Hip Hop” Award, which recognizes legends in hip hop music, will honor legendary rapper Scarface, BET said in a prepared statement.
BET added:

Scarface is undoubtedly one of the most prolific rappers of all time. Hailing from Houston, he sharpened his skills growing up listening to Public Enemy and NWA, groups that not only peaked his lyrical delivery but his social consciousness.

In 1991, he recorded and released his first big hit, Mind Playing Tricks On Me, with the Geto Boys; a song that Rolling Stone rated as the No.5 Best Hip Hop Song ever to be recorded. Scarface went on to deliver 12 stellar and critically acclaimed solo albums with the most recent, Deeply Rooted, debuting in the Top 10 of Soundscan’s Top Albums Sales chart (No. 8), Top 10 on four Billboard Charts (No. 2 Rap, No. 3 Indie, No. 3 R&B/Hip Hop, No. 8 Digital) and Top 20 on The Billboard 200 (No. 11). Scarface recently penned and released his memoirs, Diary of a Madman earlier this year.
