Congratulations are in order for two of hip-hop’s most legendary acts – Dr. Dre and Public Enemy are set to be inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame 2018 class!

For those unfamiliar with the Grammy Hall of Fame, it’s essentially a class of artists and albums that The Recording Academy deems worthy of immortalizing for years to come. Each year, they pick 25 albums or singles that are at least 25 years old to include in the class – they currently sit at a total of 1,063 recordings.

See the full list below and congrats again to Dre and Public Enemy!
