Grammy Award for Best Rap Solo Performance

The Grammy Award for Best Rap Solo Performance was awarded from 1991 to 2011, alongside the Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group. Previously a single award was presented for Best Rap Performance.

In 2003 this award was split into separate awards for Best Female Rap Solo Performance and Best Male Rap Solo Performance. In 2005 it was again presented as a single award.

The award will be discontinued from 2012 in a major overhaul of Grammy categories. From 2012, all solo and duo/group rap performances in the will be shifted to the revived Best Rap Performance category.

Years reflect the year in which the Grammy Awards were presented, for works released from October a year and a half prior to September the previous year.
