“All My Life” triumphed over nominated songs from Drake and 21 Savage, Doja Cat, and more.
Lil Durk and J. Cole won the 2024 Grammy Award for Best Melodic Rap Performance for their song “All My Life.” The collaboration from Durk’s Most Healed album beat out nominees from Doja Cat (“Attention”), Burna Boy and 21 Savage (“Sittin’ on top of the World”), Drake and 21 Savage ( “Spin Bout U”), and SZA (“Low”).
Lil Durk didn’t take the stage at the Launch to accept his award, but he did eventually make it to the Crypto.com Arena to pick up his gold-plated record player. J. Cole was not at the Grammys because he was performing on tour with Drake in Tampa, Florida.
This is Durk’s first Grammy Award and Cole’s second. Durk previously won in 2020 for his song “A Lot” with 21 Savage. Durk and Cole have been nominated 4 and 19 times in their careers, respectively.
Cole released his most recent album, The Off-Season, in 2021 and dropped the video for the song “First Person Shooting” with Drake in November 2023.
