SINGAPORE, September 18, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ — Russell Simmons, largely known in the world as the godfather of Hip Hop, was recognized today for his contributions to the genre, at the sidelines of F1 activities. The event, called Hip Hop 50: All White and Cream Party, become yet another highlight in the 50th birthday of Hip Hop celebrated worldwide.
Among the personalities present were businessman Cordell Broadus (aka Champ Medici in Web3 and son of Simmon’s good pal Snoop Dogg), TV personality and businessman O’Neal McKnight, plus a line up of Singapore’s hottest talents: rapper and actor Sheikh Haikel, artist and performer Shigga Shay, and beatboxer Dharni.
“When we list the people who made Hip Hop what it is today, we always start with the man–Russell Simmons. ‘Uncle’ is not only a force in music, entertainment, and business, but also an overall great adviser and friend. We’re thrilled that we can give him the recognition he deserves because until now he’s still opening doors for new artists who will keep creating Hip Hop music that the world loves,” said Cordell Broadus.
The most enduring legacy of Russell Simmons in Hip Hop is when he co-founded the music label Def Jam Recordings in 1984. Together with his business partner Rick Rubin, they ignited the hip hop revolution in the US by managing stars like the Beastie Boys, Public Enemy, Run-D.M.C., and LL Cool J. From 1992 to 1997, he also co-produced the Def Comedy Jam television program.
As a businessman, Simmons is also known for creating the clothing fashion lines Phat Farm, Argyleculture, and Tantris. Now he spends his days between Indonesia and the US, engaging in a wellness-focused and vegan lifestyle.
