The GRM Daily Rated Awards celebrate the UK black music genres, and as one of the most popular black British artists of this generation, it doesn’t come by surprise that Stormzy got to collect one of the awards. For his collaboration “I Dunno” with Tion Wayne and Dutchavelli, he earned the award for Track of the Year.

Due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, the award ceremony was held online this year, but that didn’t stop organisers from letting the winners speak for themselves. The trio is seen laughing on screen, before they went on to hold their speech. Tion Wayne is starting off the speech whilst Stormzy is fiddling with the award in his hands.

The “Vossi Bop” rapper is laughing it off when his colleague is thanking him for “making me a rich one.” Stormzy himself recalls the moment he got to hear the first beat of the song that earned the three of them the award: “Tion sent me the rhythm and it was a smash!” “We done it, so I just did my part but Tion, genius, bro.”

The ceremony featured performances by Dizzee Rascal, Kano, George The Poet and M Huncho. The winners were voted by GRM Daily readers in July and August via an online poll. Track of the Year wasn’t the only award that Dutchavelli got to take home that day. Stormzy’s colleague also won Breakthrough of the Year – and dedicated the award to his late manager Fox, who passed away earlier this year. “Grateful for this one, it means a lot. Big up to the runners-up, management, family and the mandem. This one’s for Fox.”

One of the biggest prizes of the night went to London-based rapper Dizzee Rascal who won the Legacy Award, which has been given to him for changing the face of British music. An award, that probably everyone would like to earn. Who knows, maybe next year it’s up to Stormzy to take the prize home, seeing as he’s influencing not only Britain’s youth but also the UK music scene.
