58th Grammy ‘Best Rap Album’ category loaded with true Emcees this outing

The Grammy Awards always create quite the conversation when it comes to the Rap categories. No matter who makes the final cut, the global Hip-Hop community weighs in quite heavily. This year, quite refreshingly, we see the appearance of real Emcees in the category and not just rappers. There really IS a difference and the 58th Grammys have a solid mix of the two as lyrical content has regained its status. This year’s roster should bring mostly smiles from the Hip-Hop world. Check the official announcement and infographic below:
