Check Out The 62nd Annual Grammy Nominees [PEEP]

Though 2019 has truly been a action-packed rollercoaster ride in the worlds of society, sports, and politics there’s one thing for sure; if you were a music fan, you were in luck.  Artists such as DaBaby, Lizzo, and Lil Nas X rose to international superstardom, promising risers such as YBN Cordae and Lucky Daye took major steps to realizing their titanic potential, while established stars like Young Thug, Chris Brown, J.Cole, Nas, and the late legend Nipsey Hussle added to their considerable legacies and plush thrones. Thus, Grammy season is upon us!

Possibly the single most controversial and openly discussed set of accolades given to performing artists (just ask Macklemore), you’ll find this list being fervently debated everywhere from barbershops, clubs and office spaces, to basketball courts and grocery stores. If you’re an artist and people are feeling your music, talents, and movement, you’ll know. Who’s been on your playlist this year? Who deserves more acclaim than they’ve received?
