The prestigious accolade was presented by the iconic Bone Thugs-N-Harmony at The Recording Academy’s Special Merit Awards Ceremony, which took place Saturday Feb. 3, at the historic Wilshire Ebell Theatre in Los Angeles.

The Grammy stage was a testament to the power of music as a force for cultural expression and change, honoring the legacy of artists who dared to speak their truth.
