Lamar recently discussed his Grammy nod for Album of the Year in an interview with Los Angeles radio station Power 106.

“That’s crazy that [good kid, m.A.A.d. city is] even in that [category] because that album is a really raw album,” Lamar said. “It’s not too much crossover, so for them to even put it in that light, that’s a win by itself…So if I take it home, [that will be] even more of a crazy feeling.”

The 56th Annual Grammy Awards event is set to air January 26 at 8 pm EST on CBS.
