The Recording Academy, who has confirmed that plans are currently being considered to create a category for Afrobeats at the Grammy awards, also made it known that a new category known as “Best Song for Social Change” will be introduced. According to the academy, the category was proposed by their voting members to recognize creators of message-driven music that responds to the social issues of our time and has the potential for positive global impact.
