Additionally, the membership-based music organization is debuting its inaugural ASCAP Voice of the Culture Award to T.I.! The award will be given to ASCAP songwriters and artists who have had a major influence on music and culture.

“T.I. has conquered the worlds of music, TV and film, helping to popularize a new sub-genre of music in the process,” Williams added. “His significant contributions to hip-hop music, support for other artists through his record label, philanthropy, community activism and memorable onscreen roles have had a profound impact on today’s music and culture. There is no one more deserving to receive the inaugural ASCAP Voice of the Culture Award.”

The 32nd Annual ASCAP Rhythm & Soul Music Awards will take place Thursday, June 20, 2019, in Los Angeles.
