IN THE NEWS

DO YOU KNOW LA?

Today’s Riddle ( ANSWER AT THE END OF NEWSLETTER )

I'm draped in gold but born in a city of stars, Where the red carpet stretches past the fast cars. I honor the rhythm, the rhyme, and the soul, Under the glow of the Crypto.com bowl. From the "Big Four" to the legendary stage, I’m the highest honor of the musical age.

What am I?

REASON SAT DOWN WITH SCOTTIE!
