The nominees for the 59th Grammy Awards have been announced. Taking place on February 12, 2017, these awards appear to have historic implications, especially for Hip-Hop Heads of multiple generations and eras.

Perhaps most notably, De La Soul is nominated for “Rap Album Of The Year” for their August release, and the Anonymous Nobody. Funded by fans through a Kickstarter campaign in 2015, the would-be A.O.I. Records release originally sought $110,000 and reached over $600,000. De La’s first album in 12 years features contemporaries such as Pete Rock and Snoop Dogg, as well as Usher, David Byrne (The Talking Heads), 2 Chainz, and Roc Marciano. Previously, De La earned a Grammy trophy in 2006 through their work with The Gorillaz on “Feel Good Inc.” This is believed to be the first Hip-Hop crowd-funded album to be nominated for a major Grammy Award. In 2016, Descendants of Hill Country, another crowd-funded project, was nominated for Best Blues Album.

De La will face off against Kanye West’s The Life of Pablo and Chance The Rapper’s Coloring Book (both stream-only releases), in addition to Drake’s Views, DJ Khaled’s Major Key, and ScHoolboy Q’s Blank Face LP. Q, Khaled, and Chance have never previously won awards. ScHoolboy and the We The Best DJ have both been previously nominated, while Drake and ‘Ye have been huge Grammy winners in the 2000s. Chance’s album achieves the distinction of being up for the prestigious award (among several) without ever being for sale.

Chance, Kanye, and Drake are contenders in “Best Rap Song” for “No Problem” (with 2 Chainz and Lil Wayne) “Famous”/“Ultralight Beam,” and “Hotline Bling,” respectively. Also in the running is Fat Joe & Remy Ma’s reunion single “All The Way Up.” Like Fat Joe, Remy has been previously nominated but never won a Grammy trophy. “Famous” attaches Rihanna as a collaborator, while “Ultralight Beam” involves Chance, Kelly Price, Kirk Franklin, and The-Dream.

“Best Rap Performance” includes “All The Way Up,” as well as Desiigner’s “Panda,” ScHoolboy and Kanye’s “That Part,” Drake and The Throne’s “Pop Style,” and Chance’s “No Problem.”

In the “Best New Artist” category, Anderson .Paak and Chance The Rapper compete against The Chainsmokers, Maren Morris, and Kelsea Ballerini.

.Paak, who released Malibu before signing to Dr. Dre’s Aftermath Entertainment will see his Empire release compete in the “Best Urban Contemporary Album” field against high-profile releases by Beyoncé and Rihanna, as well as KING’s We Are King and Gallant’s Ology.

After being nominated for 11 Grammy Awards last year, and winning 5, Kendrick Lamar’s lone nomination comes in the “Best Rap/Sung Performance” field—care of Beyoncé. In addition to “Freedom,” D.R.A.M. and Lil Yachty’s “Broccoli,” Drake’s “Hotline Bling,” and the two Kanye songs nominated for “Best Song.”
