the moment we have been waiting for. THE GRAMMYS HAVE LANDED ✨🏆🏆✨ thank you to the @recordingacademy and everyone who made this moment possible. we are eternally grateful 🙏🏽

Yesterday still doesn’t feel like real life. What a surreal moment. God is good. We dreamed of this since we were teenagers. Thank you so much to the @recordingacademy for this prestigious honor. Thank you to the voting members for seeing us, and listening to ‘ALKEBULAN II’. You made this happen and we are both so grateful. This moment represents unity between the United States and Africa. I pray that this album serves to uplift Africa, African talent, and shows that we are all connected. My ancestors’ blood courses through my veins, and their energy resonated fully on this album. I hope this work makes them proud. I dedicate this award to my beautiful wife @angelavbenson who has been with me every step of the way throughout this journey. Our first GRAMMY win. CHITOWN STAND UP!!! AFRICA STAND UP!!!! This is for US!!! ✊🏽🏆✨#GRAMMYWINNER

All praises Glory and honor be to the Most High Yahweh and his son Yeshua. @angelavbenson we did it 🖤🏆

Honored and excited to be partnering with the U.S. Embassy Harare for an important conversation on how AI is changing the music industry globally and across Africa.

Shout out to Mr. Bibbs! Matt B wouldn't be the GRAMMY-winning artist he is today without the support and safe space his high school music teacher provided.

Yesterday was powerful. I had the honor of being the special guest speaker for the artist panel at GRAMMY In The Schools. I also performed live, connected with students, and brought out my GRAMMY so they could see it, touch it, and know it is real. Not as a trophy, but as proof of what is possible when you walk by faith and not by sight.

I remember being a kid with big dreams and very few examples of what the path actually looked like. To now be able to pull back the curtain and share what this journey truly takes…the work, the discipline, the setbacks, the faith… that is walking in purpose.

Seeing the hunger in their eyes reminded me why I started. If even one student left believing their dream is valid and achievable, then yesterday was a success. Thank you @grammymuseum and @thatartschoolinthelbc for having me 🙏🏾
