Lil Uzi Vert Is Thrilled About Grammy Nomination: “This Really Means A Lot”

by

Lil Uzi Vert has been giving their fans and music listeners across the world so many great tracks. When they started to gain traction in 2015-2016, it was an exciting time in rap. Their voice and style was something quite different from most mainstream artists. It helped blossom them into a star fairly quickly. “Money Longer” was a song that really put them on the map for those who were not in the know. Since then, Uzi delivered and then some every year. They were always near the top of the charts, if not at number one.

Tracks like “XO Tour Llif3,” “Bad and Boujee” “Sideline Watching (Hold Up),” and “Ps & Qs,” just had something special to them. The main reason for that is Uzi’s incredible energy and laid-back vibe they like to bring to their music. One of those that need to be in that conversation is “Just Wanna Rock.” Everything from the Jersey club style beat, to the dance that has taken over social media, it has become another global phenomenon.

Lil Uzi Vert Is Very Thankful

Because of this, Uzi has earned a Grammy nomination for it at next year’s award show. It received the nod for Best Rap Song and it will compete with artists like Doja Cat, Nicki Minaj, Drake, Killer Mike, and more. Interestingly, this is just Uzi’s third Grammy nod in his career. Because of this, they were extra appreciative of it at a recent show for their Pink Tape tour. Here is what they had to say, according to some footage provided by HipHopDX. They said, “I got nominated for a Grammy this year. And I don’t really get nominated often, so this really means a lot to me.” After that, they proceeded to play “Just Wanna Rock” and the crowd went nuts.

Despite the fact that Tupac passed away nearly 30 years ago, the rapper is still a cultural mainstay. Despite being most well known for his music, he never actually won a Grammy during his lifetime. He was nominated five times during his life in 1996 and 1997 but was never able to secure a victory. Now, over 20 years later, the rapper has secured his second posthumous nomination and seventh over all which could net him his first ever win.

The Grammy Academy just announced the nominations for the 2024 edition of the show. Included among them is the Best Music Film category where Pac finds himself scoring a new nomination. The acknowledgement is for Dear Mama: The Saga Of Afeni And Tupac Shakur, a documentary miniseries about the rapper and his mother. Among the nominees is another major player in hip-hop, Kendrick Lamar with the live performance of his new album Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers. Tupac is also not the only posthumous nominee with the David Bowie film Moonage Daydream also securing a nomination.
