Legendary Marley Mark was this year’s “I Am Hip-Hop” award recipient, with Swizz Beatz and Timbaland awarding Marl with the prestigious award.
Rakim and LL Cool J united with Jazzy Jeff, DJ Technician, and Adam Blackstone got together to put together a performance to honor the legendary musician with a melody of songs.
“It all started with a little dream in the crib. Queensbridge, I love you. This goes out to you too,” the industry veteran said. “I accept this award and thank you for giving it to me because I am hip hop DJ Marley Marl.”
