Tym razem w kategorii Best Rap Album nie ma specjalnych zaskoczeń. Rok temu nominowano np. Freddiego Gibbsa i Alchemista za "Alfredo", co wywołało pozytywne zdziwienie u undergroundowych głów, ale teraz raczej postawiono na dobrze znane ksywki. Mamy zatem drugi raz z rzędu Nasa, tym razem oczywiście za "King's Disease II", jest J. Cole z nominacją za "The Off-Season", Drake za "Certified Lover Boy", Tyler The Creator za "Call Me If You Get Lost", no i rzecz jasna Yeezy za "DONDĘ". W Best Rap Song zdecydowano się na nominowanie "Bath Salts" DMX'a, Nasa i Jaya-Z, "Best Friend" Saweetie i Doja Cat, "Family Ties" Baby Keema z Kendrickiem, "Jail" Kanye'ego Westa i Jiggi, oraz "My Life" J. Cole'a, 21 Savage'a i Morraya. Oto pełna lista nominowanych:

Na pierwszy ogień idzie Silk Sonic, wspólny projekt Bruno Marsa i Andersona .Paaka. "An Evening With Silk Sonic" to dziewięć numerów, ledwie pół godziny muzyki, ale jest czego posłuchać. Następną ważną premierą jest "Supa Savage 3" Lil Reese'a, nową epkę wypuścił także DaBaby. Cancel culture mu niestraszne i facet dalej robi swoje.

Inne warte uwagi premiery to wspólny materiał Aesop Rocka i Blockheada, nowe płyty od związanych z kalifornijską sceną DaBoii'a i D Savage'a, a także najnowsza płyta Joella Ortiza, czyli "Autograph" wydane nakładem Mello Music Group.

Wszystkie płyty oczywiście do sprawdzenia w naszym Dziale Premier Płytowych.
