Atlanta, GA. The mic is still blazing. The crown is still shining. And Queen Sheba, one of the most dynamic and fearless spoken word artists of our time, has just earned her third GRAMMY® nomination, proving once again that her voice doesn’t just move audiences, it moves culture.With her latest project, “Hurricane in Heels”, nominated for Best Spoken Word Poetry Album, Queen Sheba continues to redefine what it means to be a poet in the modern age, uniting rhythm, raw truth, and lyrical mastery in a way that’s uniquely her own. The album is an unflinching journey through love, identity, power, and perseverance, a sonic storm that only Sheba could summon.
“This nomination is bigger than me,” says Queen Sheba. “It’s for every poet who’s ever been told poetry couldn’t fill a stadium. It’s for every woman who turned her scars into sound. It’s proof that spoken word belongs on the world’s biggest stage.”
From slam stages to sold-out theaters, Queen Sheba has built a career on breaking barriers, fusing jazz, soul, and spoken words with an energy that’s as magnetic as it is meaningful. Her previous GRAMMY®-recognized works established her as the voice to watch in contemporary poetry, a cultural force that can drop a verse that hits like thunder and heals like sunlight.
Offstage, Sheba is a tireless advocate for mental health, creative freedom, and cultural equity, using her platform to lift emerging artists and open doors for those whose stories demand to be heard.
Her third GRAMMY® nomination isn’t just another accolade; it’s a resounding affirmation that Queen Sheba stands at the forefront of a poetic renaissance, where words and rhythm collide to create revolution.
The GRAMMY Awards will take place on February 1, 2026, in Los Angeles, California, where Queen Sheba will once again take her rightful place among the most visionary voices shaping the sound and soul of a generation.
