Jay-Z and Kendrick Lamar Lead Grammy Nominations! Cardi B & SZA snatch some too…

Jay-Z snags 8 nominations this year for the 2018 Grammy Awards, while Kendrick picks up 7. In the Top 4 categories, both of these gentleman secure nominations for Record of the Year (The Story of O.J./Humble) and Album of the Year (4:44/Damn)! Jay also snagged a nomination in Song of the Year. This really solidifies that this year is deemed the year of Hip Hop!

A few surprises on the list were Cardi B! She snagged 2 nominations for Bodak Yellow in rap categories, Best Rap Performance and Best Rap Song. Newcomer SZA secured a nomination in the Top 4 as well, as she is nominated for Best New Artist. Outside of the Top 4, SZA also nominated for Best Rap/Sung Performance (Love Galore), Best R&B Song (Supermodel), Best Urban Contemporary Album (Ctrl) and Best R&B Performance (The Weekend).

If you ask me, the nominations are solid. I do feel like they shut out DJ Khaled, who has a tremendous year. Mary J. Blige, who had one of the best R&B albums this year. And Rihanna. I’m starting to think the Grammys hate her, after losing every Grammy last year, she had one of the biggest songs this summer (Wild Thoughts) and she was completely looked over.

Rising star Camari Brown is stepping into the spotlight in more ways than one. The Cleveland, Ohio native has truly made a name for himself as a commercial actor and model, but he is so much more than that. Growing up some of his biggest inspirations were Eddie Murphy, Martin Lawrence, Jamie Foxx and The Wayans Brothers but never in his wildest dreams did he think that he could one day follow in their footsteps. Over the years he would slowly but surely put in the work to take his career in Entertainment to the next level starting by leaving everything he know and moving to NYC. Within time with help from his acting coach Marc John Jeffries, hard work and determination he slowly but surely started to book gigs as a working actor.

His first big break on television was on the hit OWN TV series ‘Checked Inn’ which was just the beginning of so much more for the rising star. Camari would go on to book numerous tv spots for Amazon Fire TV,  LG Gram, Kiehls, Dish Network, LL Bean, Mediacom, Met-rx and Netflix’s ‘Okja’. The versatile actor flexed his chops as a guest star on hit series  ‘Law & Order SVU’, ’Blue Bloods’,’The Blacklist’, ‘Crime Stoppers Case Files’ and ‘Deadline : Crime with Tamron Hall’. He most recently can be seen in Grammy & Academy Award winning superstar H.E.R video for her single ‘Fight For You’ which has been in heavy rotation, while he also continued to make waves as a comedic actor on and off the stage. You can currently catch him on The Applause Network as a host and content creator, but when he’s not on your screen he’s constantly perfecting his craft as a comic on stage at LOL comedy club and Broadway Comedy Club.

Now if you understand the grind of making it in the entertainment business, then you know that multiple streams or income is truly the only way to thrive. Over the past year the budding entrepreneur decided to come up with the concept of a special trivia game based on 25 classic black films. With help from his family he slowly but surely created ‘Hood Movie Trivia’ and within time and precise execution his latest venture came to life. The special trivia game based on classic films like ‘Menace II Society’, ‘Boyz In The Hood’, ‘The Players Club’, ’ATL’, ‘Baby Boy’, ‘Belly’, ‘Juice’ ‘New Jack City’, ‘Shottas’, ‘Paid In Full’ and ‘South Central’ are sure to bring friends and family together for hours of fun.
