The 55th Grammy Awards held on February 10, 2013 at the Los Angeles’ Staples Center and will definitely go down as one of the biggest highlights of the year.
With performances from Rihanna, Jay Z and Justin Timberlake, Carrie Underwood, Alicia Keys, Frank Ocean, Bruno Mars and many more, it was a night to remember and get all exicted about with so many music and movie stars in attendance.
While the likes of singer Frank Ocean, producer Hit-Boy won their first ever Grammy Awards, Jay Z, Kanye West, Rihanna and Beyonce continued their winning streak. Other winners include, gospel duo Mary Mary, Rock group Black Keys, old time Reggae singer Jimmy Cliff and many others.
It was however another disappointing night for veteran Nas who lost out to Drake in the ‘Best Rap Album’ category.
