10 years on from when Cash Money Records CEOs Bryan “Birdman” Williams and Ronald “Slim” Williams were honored at the BMI R&B/Hip-Hop Awards, Lil Wayne is set to receive the BMI Icon Award at this year’s show.
The event will be taking place at one of Tunechi‘s favorite places in the world, LIV nightclub in Miami, on September 6th and they will also be celebrating 50-years of hip-hop on the evening.
