No I.D., Kanye West, Lupe Fiasco, Da Internz & R. Kelly Nominated For Grammys

Chicago hip-hop hit it big yet again at the Grammys, with a handful of homegrown artists scorning nominations. The nomination ceremony was held this evening in Nashville (the first time outside of LA in five years), and No I.D., Kanye West, Lupe Fiasco, Da Internz and R. Kelly all have a chance to bring home gramophone’s in February.

No I.D. scored big with Nas, nabbing noms for both “Daughters” and the Life Is Good album. Da Internz are also up for their work on Nas’ most recent release. Lupe is up for rap album of the year for Food & Liquor 2, and Ye and Jay snagged multiple for “N***** In Paris” (and Ye for “Mercy”), while Kells is up in the R&B categories, obviously.

Congrats to everyone for their nominations, and best of luck on February 10th on CBS. Hit the jump to check out the rest of the rap-related nominees.
