The Grammys has dropped the term 'urban' to describe music made by black artists at its awards shows
In other changes announced by the Grammys, the best rap/sung performance category has been renamed best melodic rap performance, while the Latin rock, urban or alternative album category has switched to best Latin rock or alternative album.
However, the word urban has been added to the award for best Latin pop album, which now becomes best Latin pop or urban album."This category is intended to recognise excellence in Latin pop or urban music recordings that utilise a stylistic intention, song structure, lyrical content, and/ or musical presentation to create a sensibility that reflects the broad spectrum of Latin pop music style and culture," organisers said.
"The category includes recordings from balladeers and commercial Latin music and is not limited to any one region."
