Kendrick Lamar has won Best Rap Album at the 60th GRAMMY Awards for his acclaimed third studio album DAMN., beating out fellow nominees JAY-Z (4:44), Migos (Culture), Rapsody (Laila's Wisdom) and Tyler, The Creator (Flower Boy).

Earlier in the evening, Lamar took home awards for Best Music Video ("HUMBLE."), Best Rap Song ("HUMBLE."), Best Rap Performance ("HUMBLE."), Best Rap/Sung Performance ("LOYALTY" with Rihanna).

Lamar has tallied 29 total GRAMMY nominations over the course of his 14-year recording career, taking home a total of 12 gilded gramophones (including his Best Rap Album victory).

The TDE MC is up for seven GRAMMYs this evening, including Album of The Year (DAMN.) and Record of The Year ("HUMBLE.").

More than 300m streams later, Kendrick has the No. 1 album of 2017 (so far).

Get to know all the producers who worked on Kendrick's forthcoming album while you wait for its arrival.

Kendrick delivered a rap album that is unlike anything he’s ever created and unlike anything I’ve ever experienced.

The original title for Kendrick's latest album was a bit longer than its replacement.

"I just knew that I could trust them with my music because they have a flawless record of production."

K. Dot has shared the title, artwork and tracklisting to his new album.

That was fast.

In an industry that prides itself on flaunting and projecting an image of success, D.R.A.M.'s words are a breath of fresh air.
