Lil Baby To Receive Quincy Jones Humanitarian Award
Lil Baby will be honored with the Quincy Jones Humanitarian Award at the second annual Music in Action Awards Gala. He will receive the award for his contribution to “racial and social justice,” as a rapper, and in his hometown. Lil Baby is recognized for his efforts to effect change in Atlanta through multiple projects in the city. Last month, he held his third annual “Back To School Fest” at Atlanta’s West End Mall. He and his team provided 3,000 children with music, games, carnival rides, food, backpacks, school supplies, and haircuts. Earlier this summer, Lil Baby partnered with Lemont Bradley to provide jobs to people under the age of 21. The ceremony will take place at the Beverly Hilton in California on September 22 and will be hosted by the Black Music Action Coalition (BMAC). The BMAC says the award show will celebrate “artists, executives, businesses, entrepreneurs, activists, and companies that have utilized their platforms to effect social change over the past year.”
