We'll get a preview of this weekend's Grammy Awards with music supervisor Morgan Rhodes.

The 60th Annual Grammy Awards are this Sunday. For the biggest night of the year for the music industry, there are a lot of artists from Los Angeles that could take home some gold. Music supervisor Morgan Rhodes joined Take Two's A Martinez for a special preview of three Los Angeles artists that stand a good chance of winning.

The album hints at a transformation in thought, aided by time and experience - and celebrity.





Tina Campbell
