List Of 2019 GRAMMY Award Winners Of The Culture [PEEP]

All the stars aligned last night at the STAPLES Center for the 61st Annual Grammy Awards. There were a lot of major headlines for the culture in the record-breaking night as Childish Gambino’s “This Is America” became the first rap song to win “Song of the Year” and Cardi B became the first female to win “Best Rap Album” for ‘Invasion of Privacy’.

Aside from all that there were lit performances from Travis Scott, Cardi B, Post Malone, Ella Mai, and more. Drake delivered a very woke GRAMMY speech after picking up the award for “Best Rap Song.”

“Know we play in an opinion-based sport, not a factual-based sport. It is not the NBA… This is a business where sometimes it is up to a bunch of people that might not understand what a mixed race kid from Canada has to say… or a brother from Houston right there, my brother Travis. You’ve already won if you have people who are singing your songs word for word, if you are a hero in your hometown. If there is people who have regular jobs who are coming out in the rain, in the snow, spending their hard-earned money to buy tickets to come to your shows, you don’t need this right here, I promise you, you already won,” he said.

Check out the full list of winners from the culture below.

Kendrick Lamar & Drake Lead The Pack In 2019 GRAMMY Nominations [PEEP]

Kendrick Lamar and Drake lead the way in the 2019’s Grammy Award nominations with K. Dot sliding in with eight, while The 6 God comes in second with a solid seven.

Much of Dot’s nominations come from ‘Black Panther: The Album’ and Drizzy’s from his ‘Scorpion’ album, which is nominated for Album of the Year and his acclaimed “God’s Plan” single that is up for Record of the Year. Drizzy has had an undeniable year once again breaking streaming records and climbing charts all year.

Cardi B has had a great run this year to follow last year’s successful freshman campaign. She rounds off with five GRAMMY nominations including Record of the Year and Album of the Year, in what looks to be a heavy female representation at next year’s GRAMMYs with Ella Mai, Jorja Smith, and Janelle Monáe also receiving nominations.

One very interesting category we look forward to is Best Rap Album and Crenshaw’s own Nipsey Hussle is not only nominated but has made an incredible case for the award with his debut ‘Victory Lap’ album that has stood out as one of hip hop’s masterpieces.

‘Victory Lap’ is nominated along with Pusha T’s ‘DAYTONA’, the late Mac Miller’s ‘Swimming’, Travis Scott’s ‘ASTROWORLD’, and Cardi’s ‘Invasion Of Privacy’.

JAY Z and Beyoncé are also nominated for three Grammy awards including best music video for “APESHIT,” which was shot in Paris at the Louvre Museum.

Mike WiLL Made-It Says Rae Sremmurd’s Next Release Will Be A Triple Album [PEEP]

Making his rounds on the red carpet at the GRAMMYs last night, Mike WiLL Made-It shared a major secret. While speaking to Pitchfork, the super producer disclosed that Rae Sremmurd’s next release will be a triple album.

Mike WiLL, who won the “Best Rap Song” GRAMMY for his work on Kendrick Lamar’s “HUMBLE.” broke down the triple album saying, “We got the Swae Lee, ‘Swaecation’, [Slim] Jxmmi’s ‘Jxmtroduction’, and then the Rae Sremmurd side.”

While the name of the Rae Sremmurd part of the album is a work in progress, he did say they are considering the name ‘Sremmin’. It’s unclear if the Rae Sremmurd disk is the only one that will carry that name or if the whole album will go from ‘SremmLife 3’ to something else.

Photos have surfaced of the Mississippi duo in the studio with Kendrick Lamar, Big Sean, Zaytoven, RJ, amongst others.
