Juno Award for Rap Album/EP of the Year
The Juno Award for Rap Album or EP of the Year is an annual Canadian music award, presented by the Juno Awards to honour full-length releases by Canadian hip hop artists. Announced at the Juno Awards of 2021, it will be presented for the first time at the Juno Awards of 2022.[1]
The award will be presented alongside a new category for Rap Single of the Year.
Until 2022, albums and individual songs were considered together under the single Rap Recording of the Year category.[2] The changes were announced to coincide with the 30th anniversary of the creation of the Junos rap category.[3]
