Before the red carpet. Before the trophy. There's the journey. In this episode of https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLzAduZ80dWSvVMb4m_2Xo8P0DG4BeXf4H, Lila Iké (Best Reggae Album), Michael Mayo (Best Jazz Performance & Best Jazz Vocal Album), and Queen Sheba (Best Spoken Word Poetry Album) open up about the path that led to their 2026 Grammy nominations — the late nights, the creative risks, the community that held them down, and the moment they found out they were nominated.
From reggae to jazz to spoken word, each artist shares what this honor means, who they're carrying with them, and how their roots shaped the music that got them here. Because no one gets to the Grammys alone. Watch their stories. Feel the grind. Celebrate the moment.
