The Grammy rap field this year has some formidable nominees. Hits by Kendrick Lamar, Latto, Jack Harlow, Future, and DJ Khaled are all gunning for wins, making this one of the most competitive song lineups the field has had in the past few years. Let’s consider who’s ahead to win in two rap categories. And take a look at my analysis of the other two races here.
SEEWhich of these 5 artists will win the most Grammys? Best Melodic Rap Performance
Most people are expecting a full Kendrick Lamar sweep in the rap field, which is very possible. However, “Die Hard” might be the weakest of his nominations, especially since the song wasn’t a big single. Granted, Lamar has won here before with an album track (“These Walls”), but the hype for “Mr. Morale and the Big Steppers” doesn’t feel as big as it was for “To Pimp a Butterfly.

As a music critic, it’s important to listen to as much music as possible. Play your favorites, but also discover new artists. Randomly select an album and give it a try. Check out recommendations from family, friends and folks on social media. Give that album you didn’t love another try.
Still, we like what we like, and music is subjective. With that said, here’s my list of the top albums of 2022!
1. Beyoncé, Renaissance
Listening to Beyoncé’s Renaissance is like watching and rewatching that epic TV series or film — the discovery is endless, and there is so much to unpack. The lyrics are catchy and confident, the beats are bouncy and brilliant and her vocal range is impeccable, going from fluttery coos on “Virgo’s Groove” to soft and sensual on “Plastic Off the Sofa” to assertive shit-talking throughout the 16-track dance escapade.

Future and the Grammys have a weird relationship. Despite being one of hip-hop’s most prevalent names during the 2010s, and arguably one of the most influential artists in the genre as well, the rapper’s music has constantly been ignored by music’s biggest honor. As a lead artist, he has received only one nomination: Best Music Video for “Life Is Good” featuring Drake. Besides that, his nominations stem from his feature on Kendrick Lamar’s “King’s Dead,” which actually won them the Grammy for Best Rap Performance, and an additional nomination as a featured artist on Drake’s “Views” for Album of the Year. Such a tendency to snub one of the genre’s top artists is definitely odd, but could perhaps have been the product of snobbishness from nomination review committees. However, with those committees now gone, what can we expect for Future? Grammys vindication at last?...

After a long five-year absence, Kendrick Lamar has finally returned. Mr. Morale and the Big Steppers is the kind of dense, complex, contradictory, and thrilling journey into the mind of Pulitzer Kenny that we’ve been waiting for. With more than 70 minutes of music, there’s plenty here to process, enjoy, and debate. Our full review is on its way. In the meantime, here are five observations from a long night of deep listening.
