It’s been two decades since his last Grammy nomination and nearly a year since his passing. Is DMX about to posthumously win his first award?
There is a lot to look out for at the 2022 Grammy Awards, but rap fans will likely be keeping a very close watch on one genre-specific category, as one of the most beloved artists in the field who passed away recently is up for what may be his final chance to win a piece of gold. DMX is nominated for Best Rap Song at the upcoming Grammys, with that award going to those who actually wrote the selected tune. The hip-hop titan’s track “Bath Salts” is up for the prize, but sadly, if it’s named the champion, DMX will be honored posthumously, as he passed away in April 2021 at the age of just 50. The late rapper is one of five songwriters credited on “Bath Salts,” and they will all claim a prize should the Recording Academy choose the cut as the best-written rap song of the year.
