Hovain Hylton was a pioneer
The Brooklyn native spent decades cultivating careers in the music industry, working with artists such as Cam’ron, Styles P, Lloyd Banks, and T-Pain.
The respected manager just recently was recognized as a leading music executive by Billboard Magazine. In response to the accolade, Hylton expressed his gratitude for the artists and teams who helped him gain recognition throughout his career.
“I think the biggest lesson is that you don’t have to be a sucka or do corny s**t to be recognized. Just be a good person and do your job, and God will make the rest happen on his time,” he wrote in his last post.
Last fall, he reached another career milestone. The hip hop figure taught “The Business of Music” course at Kingsborough Community College. The eight-week course covered publishing deals, how artists can capitalize on business deals, and more.
