As part of the monumental night, Hennessy, with whom the iconic singer has an ambassadorship, commissioned artist Kennedy Yanko, for a 1-of-1 tribute sculpture that was presented to Nas as a birthday present. Taking inspiration from the Hennessy V.S bottle that Nas collaborated on to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Hip-Hop, the copper sculpture was inspired by Nas’ creative mastery and unmatched craftsmanship, it features tough yet malleable materials — embodying his perseverance and constant evolution.

DJ Jazzy Jeff kept the beats bumping throughout the evening and The Roots performed a very special musical performance.
