The trio rose to stardom in the early 1980s. The group included Mark "Prince Markie Dee" Morales, Damon "Kool Rock Ski" Wimbley, and Darren "Buff Love" Robinson.
"Kool Rock Ski" is the last surviving member, and he accepted the award on behalf of the group.
"Their legacy lives on with an award like this," he said. "We got to the pinnacle of our success. And we got there the hard way by doing a lot of hard work. We did a lot of hard work."
