Ahead of the 2023 Grammys, the Recording Academy’s Black Music Collective is putting inclusion and representation at the forefront of music’s biggest night.
Reflecting on the award and her own influence, Elliott said, “I used to be that kid that was talking and rapping to Run-DMC or UTFO … I just didn’t know I would get this far if you would’ve asked me back then. To be a part of hip-hop history…especially because at one point, people thought this was going to be a fad.
“It’s no secret that the Black music community has felt shortchanged or misrepresented by the Academy in the past. And for me, being a Black person and a Black music creator, [the BMC] was really important,” said Mason Jr., noting that the Grammy Awards have suffered backlash for not properly championing BIPOC artists—especially in major categories. “I ran as chair really on the platform of change and looking at how the Academy could be better because I knew how important the Academy was.
