Mixtapes might be getting their shine really soon in the realm of Grammy awards. In the rules right now a Grammy could only be awarded to music that is released commercially. But so much good music is released free these days and people took to making a petition to have free music get their own Grammy category. Now the academy is saying that they are open to adding in that category in hopes to evolve to fit in with the way the world is going. This is huge because Chance the Rapper has put out a bunch of free projects that are definitely Grammy worthy projects.
