The 2024 Grammy nominations have just been announced and most of our faves, like Doja Cat, Drake, Ice Spice, SZA, and Victoria Monet are well represented with multiple nominations.

SZA and Victoria Monet have nine and seven nods, respectively, to lead all nominees.


Though the Recording Academy noticeably didn’t like any rap projects for the major three categories (Album of the Year, Record of the Year, and Song of the Year), they did like SZA enough to include her in all three with “Kill Bill” earning both ROTY and SOTY nods and “SOS” earning one for AOTY.

As far as rap goes,  Drake and 21 Savage’s “Her Loss” unsurprisingly is the favorite for the Best Rap Album award. Other nominees for the category include Travis Scott’s “Utopia,” Nas’ “King’s Disease III,” Metro Boomin’s “Hereos & Villains” and Killer Mike’s “Michael.”


The 66th Annual Grammy Awards will take place on Feb. 4, 2024, at Los Angeles’ Crypto.com Arena.
