Dave leads the nominations for the GRM Daily Rated Awards 2022 with six nods.
The 24-year-old rapper’s chart-topping LP ‘We’re All Alone In This Together’ has been nominated for Album of the Year at the ceremony celebrating the best in UK rap and grime.
He will compete with his ‘Funky Friday’ collaborator Fredo’s ‘Independence Day’, Knucks’ ‘ALPHA PLACE’, ‘Reason to Smile’ by Kojey Radical, ‘Sometimes I Might Be Introvert’ by Little Simz, M Huncho’s ‘Chasing Euphoria’, and Tion Wayne’s ‘Green With Envy’.
Dave’s Stormzy collaboration from the record, ‘Clash’, received nods for Track of the Year and Video of the Year.
He’ll compete with himself in both categories as ‘Starlight’ is up for the former and ‘Verdansk’ the latter prize.
And the star is also in contention for Male Artist of the Year, for which he will compete with ArrDee, Central Cee, D-Block Europe, Digga D, K-Trap, M Huncho, Potter Payper, Russ Millions, and Tion Wayne.
Aitch has also earned a slew of nominations with two tracks – ‘1989’ and ‘Learning Curve’ – up for Video of the Year and the formidable ‘Baby’ featuring Ashanti shortlisted for Track of the Year.
His pal ArrDee also landed three nominations, with the ‘Oliver Twist’ hitmaker also up for Mixtape of the Year for ‘Pier Pressure’ and Track of the Year for ‘Flowers (Say My Name)’.
This year’s Female Artist of the Year nominees include Little Simz, Mahalia, Ms Banks, and Stefflon Don.
GRM founder Post commented: “I’m proud to be returning with our seventh Rated Awards and bringing an even more incredible show to screens this year.”
The ceremony will be held in October in central London and be broadcast exclusively on E4.
