The Grammy Awards are a staple for music lovers far and wide. In preparation for the festivities there were a number of exciting events taking place, one such event being the BACARDI and ISLA MGMT co-hosted celebration to recognize Boi-1da’s “Producer of the Year” nominations.
Boi-1da was joined by a number of celebrity friends, including Jack Harlow, PartyNextDoor, Bryson Tiller, Ella, Mai, Shenseea, Murda Beatz, Vic Mensa, Karrueche Tran, Coco Jones, Freddie Gibbs, Paili The PSM, and more.
Boi-1da is a Canadian-based producer from Toronto who has made a name for himself in the music industry. He has been nominated for four Grammy Awards this year, including two in the Album of the Year category for Bey’s Renaissance and Kendrick Lamar’s Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers.
