\n\tBusta Rhymes<\/a> classics from \u201cWoo Hah!! Got You All in Check\u201d to \u201cGimme Some More\u201d are showcases for one of the nimblest, most slyly melodic, and most gloriously eccentric rappers of all time, but they\u2019re also triumphs of songwriting. The annual New York City songwriting event Anti Social Camp<\/a> will celebrate that aspect of Busta\u2019s artistry next month, presenting him with their annual ICON Award.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe rap legend will receive his prize and sit for a live interview on the art of songwriting at the event\u2019s June 8 kickoff, the one-day iHeartRadio Anti Social Music Conference. The interview will take place at NYU Steinhardt\u2019s Frederick Loewe Theater, free to members of the public who register<\/a> as part of New York Music Month. Anti Social Camp will continue with recording sessions, panels, and public events spread around the city, through June 12.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI am so honored to receive this ICON Award from Anti Social Camp,\u201d Busta said in a statement. \u201cSongwriting is such an important part of this business and of how we, as artists, express what we are feeling and the messages we hope to share with listeners. What I\u2019ve learned about Anti Social Camp is that it creates a safe and inspiring space for songwriters to do exactly that.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tJoining Busta on this year\u2019s line-up of speakers, panelists, and songwriting-camp participants are the experimental R&B vocalist serpentwithfeet<\/a>, Flatbush Zombies<\/a>\u2018 Erick the Architect, and Brooklyn indie act Pom Pom Squad<\/a>, plus 200 or so other writers, producers, and performers.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tSongwriter Danny Ross launched Anti Social Camp in 2021, building on a New York producers\u2019 collective formed during the pandemic. \u201cThe brilliant people behind our favorite songs need a sense of community as much as anyone,\u201d Ross said in a statement. \u201cAnti Social Camp was built by artists, for artists\u2026. I\u2019m so thrilled to see it grow across the globe.\u201d \u00a0A London edition launched last fall with Jamie Cullum and Billy Bragg among its headliners, and a second U.K. run is set for mid-November. <\/p>\n

\n\tSongwriters and artists who have participated in previous editions include Nile Rodgers, PinkPantheress, Jacob Collier, Glass Animals, Moby, Linda Perry, Cigarettes After Sex, Cash Cobain, JP Saxe, and Ava Max. <\/p>\n
