Today is a big day for The Recording Academy, as later this morning, they will announce the full list of nominees for the 63rd annual Grammy Awards. Ahead of that, though, they shared some other significant news related to the ceremony, which is set to take place on January 31, 2021. Hosting the show will be somebody who has plenty of experience with hosting: The Daily Show‘s Trevor Noah.
Noah says of the hosting gig, “Despite the fact that I am extremely disappointed that the #GRAMMYs have refused to have me sing or be nominated for Best Pop Album, I am thrilled to be hosting this auspicious event.”

While Noah isn’t exactly a music figure, he’s no stranger to the Grammys: His 2018 stand-up special, Trevor Noah: Son Of Patricia, was nominated for Best Comedy Album last year. Noah didn’t take home the award, as it went to Dave Chappelle for his Sticks & Stones special. Noah was also a presenter at the 2020 Grammys, so he’s spent time on that stage before.
He does have some experience with the music industry, though, as he has had some of the biggest figures in music on The Daily Show over the past couple years. Since 2018, the program has hosted performances from people like Anderson .Paak, Jason Isbell, and Margo Price. On the show, Noah has also interviewed Lizzo, Logic, and Pusha T.
The list of Grammy nominees will be revealed soon, so keep an eye on Uproxx to stay informed about who will be up for what awards.
Some artists covered here are Warner Music artists. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

Yung Bwill transforms personal victory into pure energy with latest release “THAT DON”
Yung Bwill swings out on “THAT DON,” a hip-hop anthem born of perseverance and determination. Behind the infectious party atmosphere, however, is a profoundly personal story, as the artist turns the aftermath of a life-changing accident that resulted in the loss of a leg into an explosive creative statement. Where struggle shapes others’ stories, Yung B will harness that experience as motivation, transforming pain into confidence and showing that resilience can spark some of the most exhilarating artistic moments.
The infectious spirit of “THAT DON” is established in a flash by the upbeat tempo and lively hip-hop production. The energetic beat makes for the perfect backdrop for Yung Bwill’s charismatic delivery, allowing his confidence to shine through in every section of the track. The “Tony Montanna with the beat” lyrics reinforce the larger-than-life persona of the song, adding another layer of swagger to an already brazen performance. The dynamic production, coupled with a fearless attitude, keeps the momentum high from start to finish, making the song feel equally fitting for celebration and personal motivation.
What elevates “THAT DON” beyond the realm of another party record is the sheer determination that fuels its foundation. And when you know the circumstances that gave life to the track, every burst of energy takes on even more meaning, as it shows the artist’s refusal to be defined by adversity. Yung B’s performance drips with confidence, optimism, and undeniable enthusiasm, proving that music can be a powerful outlet for transformation. “THAT DON” is an exciting hip-hop release that tells a story of resilience and reminds us that strength often lies in the ability to keep going.

Bill Bonnell lets quiet emotion speak loud on latest release “Your Secret’s Safe with Me”
On “Your Secret’s Safe with Me,” a song that thrives on simplicity, Bill Bonnell delivers a thoughtful and emotionally grounded performance. Built around warm acoustic guitar and soft drumming, the arrangement makes an inviting space for the song’s reflective message to come naturally to the fore. The track favors restraint over elaborate production, with each musical element supporting its themes of trust, forgiveness, and emotional resilience. The result is an intimate, honest, and refreshingly sincere listening experience.
The story’s tone is dominated by references to broken trust and hurt feelings, while lines about trusting your instincts and not staying trapped offer an optimistic outlook. The title of the song is a repeated comfort, both a promise and a reminder that true understanding begins with compassion. These ideas develop organically, with the soft instrumentation providing the song with a calming pace that allows each emotional moment to hit without sounding forced or overdone.
Bill Bonnell lets the emotion take the lead, proving that quiet arrangements can make a tremendous impact when paired with meaningful songwriting. The record, from start to finish, is defined by the sincerity of the message, never a competition with the acoustic backdrop, but rather one that enhances it. It’s a song that encourages self-reflection and offers solace, blending fragility and hope in a way that feels authentic and relatable. Bill Bonnell turns in a release that quietly sticks with you through unshowy musicianship and heartfelt storytelling.
