Beginnings

Dubock began producing as a disc jockey at the age of 16 in Southeast London, which led to him crafting remixes for several hometown acts, including Jehst, Terra Firma, and more, as well as early production credits on rapper Braintax's 2006 album Panorama . Dubock next had a chance encounter with Brooklyn-based MC Pumpkinhead, who allowed Dubock to send several beats he had created, one of which became "Battering Bars" featuring rapper Sean Price. Price would contact Dubock directly a week later for additional productions, which were subsequently placed on Price's acclaimed project Mic Tyson . [3]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Grammy Awards</span> American award for achievements in music

The Grammy Awards, or simply known as the Grammys, are awards presented by the Recording Academy of the United States to recognize outstanding achievements in the music industry. They are regarded by many as the most prestigious and significant awards in the music industry worldwide. They were originally called the Gramophone Awards, as the trophy depicts a gilded gramophone. The Grammys are the first of the Big Three networks' major music awards held annually, and are considered one of the four major annual American entertainment awards with the Academy Awards, the Emmy Awards, and the Tony Awards. The first Grammy Awards ceremony was held on May 4, 1959, to honor the musical accomplishments of performers for the year 1958. After the 2011 ceremony, the Recording Academy overhauled many Grammy Award categories for 2012. In 2023, the Grammys faced significant backlash for debuting a new award called the Dr. Dre Global Impact Award, named in honor of prolific domestic abuser Dr. Dre. The 66th Annual Grammy Awards, featuring a total of 94 categories, was presented February 4, 2024.

The Grammy Award for Best Rap Performance is an honor presented to recording artists for quality rap performances. It was first presented at the 31st Annual Grammy Awards in 1989 and again at the 32nd Annual Grammy Awards in 1990, after which point the award was split into two categories: Best Rap Solo Performance and Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group. These two categories were combined again in 2012 as a result of a restructure of Grammy categories, and the reinstated Award for Best Rap Performance was presented at the 54th Grammy Awards in 2012.
