“We are thrilled to launch the ICE Medal of Honor and recognize these outstanding individuals who’ve made an enduring mark on the world through their art and creativity,” said founder Michael Mauldin. “This celebration is a testament to the power of Black American music to shape culture and inspire generations.”

The new award will have one named after the King Of Pop called “The Michael Jackson ICON Award” (take that MTV) and we are looking forward to see many of those awards to be given in the future to amazing black artists.
