If you’ve ever seen the first round Grammy ballot, you know it’s absolutely massive. Looking through, letting alone listening to, all of the choices is nearly impossible given the volume.

With this in mind, we wanted to put together a simple voting guide that highlights a handful of submissions from several genre fields that we think voters should know about. On each artist page you’ll, find information and links including:

  • Background on the project

  • Focus tracks

  • Category placement

  • Press links

    +more

Enjoy and please feel free to share if you’d like!
