The SoJones Recap: 2015 Grammys

With so many artists getting recognition for their skills, we knew that Sam Smith would come home with a ton of hardware! Hopefully he will be in his loft wearing Stevie Boi shades and sipping on some margheritas. We love the guy and wish him and Beyonce that duet that would be so special. Even so, you know Ape City might create the album of the year or maybe Hyphalini will get that duet with Kanye.We will see but you know SoJones loves to hook up bay area artists with the big timers if they so desire.

Queen B on top of things.

So who saw the grammy’s last night? We are sure that you will love getting into something comfortable and reading our list of winners if you haven’t checked it out already:
