The Rated Awards has announced this year’s winners at a virtual ceremony.
The awards ceremony for UK rap and grime music was broadcast exclusively on YouTube and featured performances from Tion Wayne, Pa Salieu, Backroad Gee, Enny, Amia Brave, Heartless Crew and Potter Payper.
Victors on the night included Ghetts for his acclaimed album Conflict Of Interest (Warner Records), Jorja Smith and Potter Payper, alongside double winners Central Cee and Tion Wayne & Russ Millions.
Actor, rapper and comedian Michael Dapaah stepped in to co-host this year’s awards alongside actress and model Jourdan Dunn, after Idris Elba had to pull out of hosting duties this year.
Michael Dapaah said: “It was an honour to be taking over from Idris. I’m proud of how far the culture and Black music has come within the UK and it’s great to be back at the awards this year having been nominated and won myself.”
Founder & CEO of GRM Daily, Post (pictured with Dapaah), added: “Congratulations to all the winners and all the nominees. It’s been an amazing show and we can’t wait to come back as a live event next year.”
Returning for its sixth year, the GRM Daily Rated Awards celebrated the best talent in the UK music scene. The 10 categories recognised some of the scene’s biggest names and their contribution to UK music between June 2019 and June 2020.
