Share

Here are the nominations for this year’s Grammys. In addition to the category awards, Kanye’s Donda and Lil X and his album Montero is up for album of the year, plus Lil Nas X and his hit “Montero (Call Me by Your Name)” is up for record and song of the year as well. Baby Keem and Saweetie are up for the best new artist. Hit-Boy is up for producer of the year.

Rap has a long legacy at the Grammys and hopefully rap artists continue to win big. Jay-Z is now the rap artist with the most Grammy nods.

The Grammy Awards show is scheduled for Jan 31 and is set to feature as of now unannounced performances and is hosted again this year by Trevor Noah.
