The 2019 Grammy Awards tired their best to try, and mend the broken relationship with urban music. Hip Hop and R&B haven’t had the best dealing with the Grammy board and producers, so they figured they have Alicia Keys host to bring us back in. I liked her as a host, and she has a long history with the show so it was fitting.

Despite many not showing up to the show due to their differences many others did like Cardi B and her estranged husband Offset. Cardi B won Best Rap Album .
