Andy Mineo & NF win hip-hop awards at the 2016 Dove Awards

The 47th annual GMA Dove Awards celebrated the largest names in Christian music on Tuesday in Nashville, Tennessee, where Andy Mineo and NF earned victories in hip-hop categories.


Mineo won Rap/Hip Hop Recorded Song of the Year for the lead single and title track of his album Uncomfortable. Here are the creatives who shared in his triumph, as well as those they were nominated against.

  • “Uncomfortable” – Andy Mineo, (writers) Gabriel “Gawvi” Azucena, Ramon Ibanga Jr., Gabriel Lambirth, Andy Mineo, Kortney Pollard, Joseph Prielozny

Uncomfortable was also nominated for Rap/Hip Hop Album of the Year, but NF’s Therapy Session earned that honor.


Lecrae had won Rap/Hip Hop Album of the Year for each of his previous three retail albums — Anomaly, Gravity and Rehab: The Overdose — so this is the first time since 2011 that he was nominated for the award and lost.
