Nominations For The 2022 GRM Rated Awards: Full List

The Rated Awards will return as a live event on Saturday, October 22 at Magazine London, and will be broadcast on E4 at 10 p.m. on Tuesday, October 25. The show will be hosted by Big Zuu and Julie Adenuga. There will be performances by ArrDee, Blade Brown, Clavish, Dreya Mac, Ivorian Doll, Knucks, K-Trap, Ms Banks, and SL.

Dave is the frontrunner for the 2022 GRM Rated Awards, which honour the UK rap and grime scene. The rapper was nominated for six awards, including two for track of the year and video of the year.

We’re All Alone in This Together, Dave’s second studio album, is nominated for album of the year. In August 2021, the album topped the Official UK Albums Chart for two weeks.

Aitch, ArrDee, Cleo Sol, K-Trap, Knucks, Little Simz, M Huncho, and Tion Wayne are among the other artists with multiple nominations.

Aitch and K-Trap, like Dave, compete against each other in various categories. Aitch has two video of the year nominations: “1989” and “Learning Curve.” K-Trap has two mixtape nominations this year: “Trapo” and “Joints” (a collab with Blade Brown).

The nominations were announced on Thursday by GRM Daily (Sept. 1). There are ten categories, with ten nominees in each except album of the year, which has only eight nominees. This is in contrast to the Grammys, which have five nominees in most categories but ten in each of the so-called “Big Four” categories – album, record, and song of the year, as well as best new artist.

GRM Daily also announced that the show will be broadcast live again this year. The event will take place in central London. For the first time, the GRM Daily Rated Awards will be broadcast on E4 this year.

Adeola Patronne, Beta Squad, Mariam Musa, Nella Rose, Snoochie Shy, and Zeze Millz will be among the presenters. Backstage, Nella Rose and America Foster will be documenting gossip and reactions for Channel 4’s digital channels.

The nominations honour accomplishments between June 1, 2021 and June 1, 2022. Voting is now open and will end on September 21. Fans can vote online at grmdaily.com/ratedawards.

GRM Daily, which has covered the UK rap and grime scene for over a decade, founded the Rated Awards. GRM claims to be the most viewed British music platform in the UK, with 5 million subscribers and an online reach of more than 9 million.
