Roommate, we received an exclusive statement from The Black Music Collective from the Recording Academy about representing black artists for the 2020 GRAMMY nominations.
The statement says that “black music is not a monolith” and that it is a historic year for GRAMMY nominations.
“It’s a historic year with 10 black women nominated in the top four categories and more than 20 black nominees in the general areas,” the statement said. “Also, for the first time, all 6 nominees for Best Rap Album are black independent artists. This is progress. “
