This has been a big year for Travis Scott , who continues to prove himself as a titan of hip-hop today both in commercial and cultural conversations. His tenth anniversary re-release of DAYS BEFORE RODEO is one of the biggest rap releases of 2024, and his ongoing tour proves his dominant energy and engagement with fans. With these credentials in mind, it's not surprising that BET will honor La Flame with the "I Am Hip-Hop" award at the 2024 BET Hip-Hop Awards taking place on Tuesday (October 8) and airing on October 15, where he will also perform.

The media company announced this decision this week (Tuesday, October 1) via a statement from their Executive Vice President of specials, music programming, and music strategy, Connie Orlando. "Travis Scott is a visionary artist who continues to push the boundaries of music, culture, and live performance," the statement reportedly reads according to HipHopDX . "With his unmatched creativity and relentless passion, he has redefined what it means to be a captivating, inspiring entertainer within the hip hop genre.

We look forward to celebrating him at BET Hip Hop Awards 2024."
