Rapper-activist Nipsey Hussle posthumously received his first Grammy award taking the best rap performance trophy for Racks in the Middle featuring Roddy Ricch & Hit-Boy while rock icon Chris Cornell has won a posthumous Grammy award for best recording package.
Members of Nipsey’s family accepted the Grammy on his behalf. “I wanted to thank all of you for showing all the love that I have felt for him all of his life, and will always live in my heart. So thank you, thank you, thank you,” his grandmother said. Later in the ceremony, Hussle was honoured by his collaborates DJ Khaled, John Legend, Meek Mill Pay, Kirk Franklin, Ricch and YG. Director Ava DuVernay introduced the tribute to the rap icon.
Meek and Roddy Ricch started the performance with a new tribute song. It was followed by a spirited rendition of “Higher” by DJ Khaled, Kirk Franklin, YG and John Legend on the piano.
Chris Cornell ‘s album was released in November 2018. The boxed set included 15 classics and two unreleased songs, including a cover of Sinead O’ Conner’s Nothing compares to u. The album also had artwork by Jeff Ament, Barry Ament, and creative director Joe Spix, who accepted the award and shared it with Cornell’s widow as well as Jeff Fura, senior director of product development.
This was Cornell’s second posthumous Grammy win. He last year won the best rock performance award for When bad does good. His daughter Toni and son Christopher had received the trophy on his behalf. (PTI)
