The SCM Awards is an annual celebration created to honor the visionaries, trailblazers, and dedicated talents shaping the culture of Hip-Hop and R&B. Founded and produced in Memphis, TN, the ceremony recognizes the outstanding achievements of underground, independent, and major artists, as well as the DJs, producers, record labels, videographers, entrepreneurs, models, graphic designers, tattoo artists, and countless other creatives who keep the industry moving forward.

The SCM Awards serves as a powerful platform for exposure, recognition, and connection. Each year, nominees and attendees gain the opportunity to showcase their accomplishments, network with industry leaders, and build lasting relationships with peers who share their same passion and drive.

Our mission is to shine a light on the hard work, dedication, and sacrifices these individuals make in pursuit of their dreams. We celebrate not only their talent and skills, but also their willingness to invest in themselves, elevate their craft, and inspire others along the way. By giving these innovators their flowers today, we affirm their place in the culture and push the industry toward even greater heights.
