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 was presented for the first time at the Juno Awards of 2022.[1]

The award is 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]
