Last year Jon Platt was the man who could share an honor with Jigga as he inducted the On the Run rapper into the Songwriters Hall of Fame. Hov was the first rapper to receive the honor. The ceremony will occur on October 11 and brings another friend of JAY-Z, Pharrell Williams, in for hosting duties.

“Jay is unquestionably one of the most giving and genuine people I know, not to mention one of the greatest songwriters on the planet. I feel lucky to call him my brother. October 11 is going to be a really special, unforgettable night,” Platt said.
