Ahead of next year’s Grammy Awards, Jay Z will be recognized at the 2018 Pre-Grammy Gala, where he’ll be presented with the Grammy Salute to Industry Icons Award. On January 27th, 2018, the Rock-A-Fella founder will be honored for his unmatched work in entertainment, business, and even outside of the music industry.
