On this episode of BTR News, Kwabena Rasuli of Clear The Airwaves discusses the upcoming events surrounding the Grammys which is considered the foremost award ceremony in the Recording Industry. If you are awarded a grammy, you are considered to be the best artist among your peers. The problem is, the Grammys is a white-dominated organization and while it has long “included” non-white people, specifically Black people in the music business, the industry continues to support, promote and reward music that is harmful to black people in general and black women and girls specifically.
