Rapper is one of several Detroiters to receive nominations for 63rd annual ceremony
Detroit rapper Royce da 5’9″ received a welcome surprise when Tuesday’s Grammy nominations were announced: his 2020 album « The Allegory » is up for Best Rap Album. The nomination marks Royce’s first as a solo artist. He was previously nominated for his work on Eminem’s « Recovery, » which was up for Album of the Year in 2010. « The Allegory, » which was released in February, was entirely self-produced by Royce, who was born Ryan Montgomery and raised on Detroit’s West Side.
