Now in its seventh year, the GRM Daily Rated Awards celebrates the best in British rap and grime, and this year saw big wins for Dave, Little Simz, KSI and a win for A1 x J1, who won the Breakthrough Artist Of The Year Award. Picking up his award for Track Of The Year, which he won with the Stormzy-featuring ‘Clash’, Dave explained the four-year process behind the hit, which was inspired by his friend who had bought Jordan 1s and Jordan 4s and eventually reached No.2 on the Official UK Charts. A special legacy award was also posthumously given to SB.TV founder and entrepreneur Jamal Edwards, who died earlier this year. Edwards’ mother accepted the award, Brenda and sister Tanisha and presented by the founder & CEO of GRM Daily, Post and founder of Link Up TV, Rashid Kasirye. A special video created by members of the SB.TV team was also played to celebrate his life and legacy.
