<p>The arenas of grime and UK rap are clearly throwing out some of the most exciting music in the world right now. It seems weird, then, that until recently, there haven’t been many decent award shows to give these artists the props that they deserve. Sure, we’ve got the MOBOs, but they have been criticised in the past for overlooking the finite qualities of rap and grime (although that is changing slowly).</p><p>Anyway, enter GRM Daily’s Rated Awards. They are now on their second year running, and are swiftly becoming the most important ceremony for British urban music. Just like last year’s event, everyone who’s anyone in grime and rap turned up, from Stormzy to Ghetts and Skepta to Kano. There were also performances from the likes of Craig David and Giggs, the latter who brought basically all of his mates on stage and went HAM for “Whippin Excursion”.</p><p>Read the winners below, and scroll down to see what happened for yourself:</p><p>Best Breakthrough: AJ Tracey<br>Best Video<span>:</span> Skepta – “Man (Gang)”<br>Best DJ<span>:</span> Charlie Sloth<br>Producer of the Year<span>:</span> Rude Kid<br>Personality of the Year<span>:</span> Poet & Vuj<br>Best Artist<span>:</span> Giggs<br>Best Album<span>:</span> Kano - <i>Made In The Manor</i><br>Best Track<span>:</span> Abra Cadabra ft.
