Grahammy Nominees for Rap Album of the Year
It is finally the time of year for the biggest awards in music The Grahammy's! This week nominees for Album of the Year are announced with the winner chosen next week in addition to the winners for other categories as well. Take a listen to these great albums and maybe your favorite will be chosen for Album of The Year.
I've complied the best track from each of the nominated albums into a playlist, as well as the entire album for each Artist. These albums were chosen for the quality of the entire album from beginning to end so I highly recommend listening to the entire album if you enjoy any of the tracks in the playlist below.
Mac Miller - Swimming
Best Track - Self Care
It is extremely sad that this will be Mac Miller’s last album after losing his battle with drug abuse. This is his finest album as he managed to grow so much as a singer in addition to his rapping and it is showcased in this album.
“I just need a way out of my head
I’ll do anything for a way out
Of my head”
Saba - CARE FOR ME
Best Track - LIFE
An introspective album in the best way, with powerful stories of personal experiences as well as societal commentary. This mellow album seeps authenticity from every verse.
“I’m so alone, but all of my friends
But all of my friends got some shit to do
Yeah, all ‘em got plans”
Denzel Curry - TA13OO
Best Track - CLOUT COBAIN
One of the main things I look for is an album you can put on without skipping a single track and this album definitely meets that requirement. A very strong follow up album that suggests that Curry is here to stay for a while.
“All I’ve got is permanent scars and tattoos
Take another step in the path that you choose
Make a bad choice in your path then you lose”
Pusha T - DAYTONA
Best Track - Santeria
Pusha managed to get the best of Kanye’s talent this year with the beats for this album feeling like old school Kanye, when he was just somewhat crazy. Yet another GOOD album from Pusha T who has been bringing the heat.
“The company I keep is not corporate enough
Child Rebel Soldier, you ain’t orphan enough
A rapper turned trapper can’t morph into us
But a trapper turned rapper can morph into Puff”
Cardi B - Invasion of Privacy
Best Track - I Like It
After storming onto the scene last year with Bodak Yellow Cardi B has proven that she is here to stay. From relative obscurity to Super Bowl commercials she is absolutely one of the most fun people to root for in all of music.
“Be careful with me, do you know what you doin’?
Whose feelings that you’re hurtin’ and bruisin’?
You gon’ gain the whole world
But is it worth the girl that you’re losin’?
Be careful with me
Yeah, it’s not a threat, it’s a warnin’”
