The GRAMMY-nominated video director will be among the honorees at the 2017 VH1 Hip Hop Honors, a ceremony celebrating the genre's lasting impact on pop culture.

With a unique video style that incorporated a fisheye lens that distorted the camera view around the central focus, Williams' music video credits read like a greatest hits compilation. His video résumé includes visual stunners such as Busta Rhymes' "Woo Hah!! Got You All In Check," Will Smith's "Gettin' Jiggy Wit It," TLC's "No Scrubs," West's "Gold Digger," "Heartless" and "All Of The Lights," and Missy Elliott's instantly recognizable "The Rain (Supa Dupa Fly)."
