On January 28th of next year, the highly-coveted GRAMMY Awards will be coming to New York City — it’s the first time there in almost 15 years. This week, we now know who will be vying for the many categories available.

First off, Hip-Hop deserves an applause — Jay-Z leads his peers with eight nods (including Album and Record of the Year) while Kendrick Lamar follows behind with seven (including the same two aforementioned). Bruno Mars (6), SZA (5) and Childish Gambino (5) add to the leaders’ list as well; meanwhile, Rapsody, Cardi B (!), Migos, GoldLink and more also have reason to celebrate. Another interesting statistic: the album categories are completely non-white male for the first time in two decades.

I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention the artists that strangely got passed over: usual Pop frontrunners like Lady Gaga and Katy Perry are in the dark, as well as a should’ve been nominated Ed Sheeran. Even Future and The Weeknd couldn’t get a single look, which is…surprising.

Anyways, you can view the list in full over at the GRAMMYs official website.

The 58th Grammy’s award was a big night for Kendrick Lamar taking home 5 awards, putting him at the top of the list for wins last night. Kendrick has warmed our hearts year after year by proving himself to a socially conscious rapper who’s music speaks volumes. His actions often display the same sentiments and last night was no different.

Kendrick, teaming up with Reebok Classic, brought along 5 of his biggest fans from his alma mater, Compton Centennial High School, to enjoy the Grammy Awards in person, celebrate their idols big wins and bear witness to one of the most epic Grammy performances of all time. We’re sure Kendrick had just the help that he needed to carry those 5 Grammy wins out of The Staples Center. These kids have enjoyed a Grammy experience that they will be talking about for years to come.
