snoop dogg, Sade, Jeff Lynne of the Electric Light Orchestra and many other artists are inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame this year.
Gloria Estefan, Teddy Riley, Glenn Ballard and Liz Rose have also been honored with this award and will commemorate the event at a ceremony in New York on June 15.
As Billboard notes, the Class of 2023 marks the fifth consecutive time a hip-hop artist has been honored, since Jay-Z became the first in 2017. Jermaine Dupri, Missy Elliott and Chad Hugo of The Neptunes and Pharrell Williams preceded Snoop Dogg.
Songwriters Hall of Fame chairman (and past member) Nile Rodgers said in a statement: “The music industry doesn’t exist without songwriters who write great songs first and foremost. Without them there is no recorded music, no concert business, no merch.
“The 2023 list showcases not only iconic songs, but also the diversity and unity of genres, nationalities and genders, songwriters who have enriched our lives and at some point literally changed the music and lives of billions of listeners around the world.”
No ceremonies were held in 2020 and 2021 due to the COVID pandemic. Mariah Carey, Steve Miller, The Isley Brothers, The Neptunes and Eurythmics were honored in June 2022 after being announced as 2020 inductees.
Meanwhile, Snoop Dogg has rescheduled his UK and Ireland tour for this year, starting in March.
The rapper was supposed to go on tour last year, but in May of last year canceled all tour dates outside the US due to “unforeseen scheduling conflicts, including family commitments and upcoming TV and film projects.”
All tickets for his original tour dates, which were postponed several times due to the pandemic, remain valid.
