Fast rising Manchester rapper Aitch and formidable Croydon superstar Stormzy lead the nominations with four nominations each in Male Artist, Track of the Year, Video of the Year and the prestigious Album of the Year categories, following what has been an incredible year for each artist, with numerous accolades and chart successes under their belt.

The Rated Awards were founded by GRM Daily, an award winning platform at the epicentre of black British music culture since 2009. An outlet where the very best of black British music is whole heartedly celebrated, GRM has charted the scene’s rise from a largely underground phenomenon to its current status as the nation’s biggest youth culture movement. Along the way, they’ve been an influential launch pad for some of today’s biggest British artists and have amassed a huge loyal audience.

Rated Awards host, Julie Adenuga saysI’m honoured to be back hosting the GRM Rated Awards with my favourite co-host ever, Mo the Comedian! I’m looking forward to being part of a night of celebration & entertainment for UK music supporters all around the world”. Co-host Mo Gilligan adds ‘GRM have always supported me and I feel very proud to be hosting The Rated Awards again with phenomenal Julie Adenuga!’

Set to take place as a virtual ceremony due to the coronavirus pandemic, this year’s Rated Awards will be an immersive experience, but is still set to be one of the biggest celebrations to date, capturing the vibrancy and diversity of the scene like no other award show could.

“We’re back for a very special fifth edition of the Rated Awards. Really looking forward to everyone at home sharing the moment after a year of amazing achievements” – Founder & CEO of GRM Daily, Posty.
