Jay Z To Be Inducted Into The Songwriters Hall Of Fame
Jay Z will be the first rapper inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame. The organisation announced their 2017 nominees back in October, but confirmed its inductees earlier today (Feb 22). The SHOF induction ceremony will take place this Summer in NYC.
Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds, Jimmy Jam, Terry Lewis, Robert Lamm, James Pankow, Peter Cetera, “Chicago,” and Max Martin will join the multi-artist turned mogul in receiving the honour. What a time to be alive!
“With our 2017 roster of inductees, the Songwriters Hall of Fame moves definitively into recognizing music creators of the 21st century while continuing to honor the greats of earlier decades. The combination of contemporary sounds and timeless hits of the past is certain to make for an unforgettable evening,” – SHOF Co-chairs
