Snoop Dogg, whose new Dogg Town Music Group label is presenting Block Starz Music's upcoming West Coast Block Starz II compilation, will be saluted as a "BMI Icon" at the BMI Urban Awards, slated for Friday, August 26 at the Pantages Theatre in Hollywood.
BMI President & CEO Del Bryant will share hosting duties with Catherine Brewton, Vice President, Writer/Publisher Relations, Atlanta, as the entertainment community gathers to celebrate the most-performed urban songs, songwriters and producers of the previous year.
The evening will include an all-star musical tribute to Snoop Dogg, as well as the presentation of the "Urban Songwriter", "Song", "Producer" and "Publisher Of The Year" crystals.
BMI Icons are selected because of their "unique and indelible influence on generations of music makers."
