The Recording Academy’s 2018 nominations reveal that black and Latino talent have a better shot at winning in the major categories.
Black and Latino musicians dominated in the top four categories, including album and song of the year, giving those acts who perform rap, R&B and Latin music a strong chance at taking home the biggest awards, usually reserved for pop, rock and country musicians, or let’s just be real about it – white artists.
Behind Jay-Z who scored eight nominations, Kendrick Lamar scored seven nominations while Bruno Mars earned six. Those who scored five nominations were black acts, including Childish Gambino, SZA, Khalid and No I.D.
The 2018 Grammy Awards take place in New York City on January 28, 2018.
