00:00With the Grammy Awards just days away.
00:05One of the last year's big winners rapper Dolce is reflecting.
00:10On the night that changed her career.
00:15Dolce, who took home the Grammy for Best Rap Album for Alligator Bites...
00:20...in 2025, saying that victory pushed her to aim even higher.
00:25Shoulder left! Over the shoulder!
00:28After that moment, not only...
00:30I did a lot of people tap in and discover my music afterwards.
00:35But I felt inspired to just give more.
00:40To give more. To create more. To reach more people. To say more things.
00:45And just create. I just felt inspired.
00:48Recording Academy CEO Harvey...
00:50Merson Jr. joined Dolce to preview this year's show...
00:53...which takes place on Sunday...
00:55...he said the Grammy are evolving with global music trends.
01:00It's a very intentional effort by us at the Grammy organization...
01:04...to make sure we're honoring...
01:05...the music. And it doesn't matter where it comes from.
01:07We are not going to dictate what happened with music.
01:09Music is going to...
01:10...to dictate what happens with us as an organization.
01:12So when you see Latin music and the...
01:15...the excitement around it...
01:16...and you see the music coming from the continent of Africa...
01:18...and as you said, K-pop and India...
01:20...and the Middle East, all the different music...
01:22...deserves to be honored and respected.
01:24So we have to make...
01:25...to make sure we have the right membership.
01:26I can't profess to know everything about Latin music...
01:29...or about music...
01:30...from India. So we have to have those members...
01:32...that are working in those areas...
01:33...that know the music...
01:34...so they can accurately...
01:35...to vote.
01:36We've been in a position before...
01:37...where we didn't have enough representation...
01:39...to know the...
01:40...to make different kinds of music...
01:41...and to vote on it...
01:42...properly.
01:43So we've gone back...
01:44...we've requalified our membership...
01:45...everybody who votes now...
01:46...has got a recent credit...
01:48...over the last five years...
01:49...we don't have people that had...
01:50...songs in the 70s or 80s...
01:51...voting on all the music of today.
01:53We have today's...
01:54...creation...
01:55...the creative community...
01:56...voting on today's music.
01:57Therefore, we've got to make sure...
01:58...if we're going to do it right...
01:59...in Latin...
02:00...in Latin America...
02:01...or Africa...
02:02...or anywhere else...
02:03...we have to make sure we have...
02:04...members that know those music...
02:05...genres.
