Busta Rhymes, Missy Elliott and many more are among a star-studded cast of performers set to take the stage at the 65th Annual Grammy Awards to celebrate Hip Hop’s 50th anniversary.
LL COOL J will play host for the celebratory segment while legendary Roots drummer Questlove calls the shots as the producer with Black Thought onboard for narration purposes at Sunday night’s (February 5) ceremony.
In addition to the aforementioned names, the wide-ranging guest list includes Big Boi, De La Soul, DJ Drama, DJ Jazzy Jeff, Future, GloRilla, Grandmaster Flash, Melle Mel, Scorpio, Ice-T, Lil Baby, Lil Wayne, The LOX, Method Man, Nelly, Public Enemy, Queen Latifah, Rakim, Run-DMC, Salt-N-Pepa and Spinderella, Scarface, Swizz Beatz and Too $hort.
Huncho will be honoring his beloved Migos groupmate and nephew TakeOff, who was shot and killed on November 1 outside of a Houston bowling alley.
Quavo is set to perform his tender TakeOff tribute “Without You” alongside the Maverick City Music choir.
The song — which features Vory and was produced by Zaytoven, Murda Beatz, Mike Dean and others — dropped on January 4 and marked Quavo’s first release since TakeOff’s death.
While she didn’t submit “WAP” for the Grammys, Cardi B is slated to be in the building as well as one of the presenters for the Crypto.com Arena ceremony.
