For the past two decades, she has been the creative brains behind some of the biggest hip-hops hits. The five-time Grammy winner has knocked out bangers for artists such as Aaliyah, Whiteney Houston, Janet Jackson, 702, Fantasia, Monica, Keyshia Cole, Ciara and countless others. Not to mention her own resume of dopeness; her six studio albums have all reached RIAA platinum certified or better, making her as the only female rapper to achieve that remarkable accomplishment.

“The first thing you need to know is it’s about the song, the second thing you need to know is it’s about the song, the third thing you need to know is it’s about the song,” Songwriters Hall of Fame Chairman Nile Rodgers said. “That’s true now more than ever but it has always been about the song so I’m very proud that in my first year as Chairman of the Songwriter’s Hall of Fame that we are recognizing some of the culturally most important songwriters of all time. The 2019 slate of inductees represents diversity and unity across genres and gender, highlighting our dedicated mission to honor music creators who have enriched our lives. These are writers who in their time literally transformed music and helped make what’s happening today possible.”
The induction ceremony will take place on June 13th in New York City.
