Another year, another round of Grammy voting begins.
First batch of submissions for the 2025 Grammy Awards opened to the voting members of the Recording Academy, who will parse through the nearly 100 categories to whittle down the contenders on October 4.
According to Variety, just as soon as Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” released in May, thus began the chatter around whether or not the Recording Academy would consider it eligible for nominations.
And it is! It’s the only song in the feud between Lamar and Drake to get submitted in the first round of voting. “Not Like Us” was submitted for record of the year and song of the year, as well as in its potential rap categories (best rap song, best rap performance).
The diss track was also submitted for best music video and best arrangement, instruments and vocals. Lamar could be up against himself in several of the categories due to his feature on Future and Metro Boomin’s “Like That,” which is included in the tally for record of the year, song of the year, best rap song and best rap performance.
