annoying. Much love for Lecrae. he’s said over and over he is not a gospel – referring to the music genre- artist. It’s great to see he’s receiving recognition, glory to God for that!. I would prefer it was for best Hip Hop artist or some other Hip Hop related award.
Yes!!! Not to confine him from other listeners/audiences, but to highlight and allow artists of that specific genre a chance to be honored.
