As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to rock the music industry, GRAMMY.com reached out to musicians to see how they were spending their days indoors. Today, Los Angeles-based rapper contradash shares his Quarantine Diary. His debut Interscope project, 'ALL-STAR,' is out now.

[10 a.m.] I start my day just like everyone else does, with a big cup of coffee. I'm hardly aware that I'm on earth until after this is finished. As a result of the coffee, I usually skip breakfast.

[11 a.m.] My first thought in the morning is usually to record music. After writing some ideas and getting some vocal practice in, I usually take a break and reserve some time for lunch by 2 p.m.

[2 p.m.] I enjoy getting some sun due to how badly I need it, so I choose to eat my lunch by the pool. I always catch my neighbors filming me when I'm out here, so I usually head back in pretty quickly.

[3 p.m.] After I showered and changed, my roommate and I decided to create a Rube Goldberg machine throughout the house. This ended up taking up most of our evening but I have zero regrets.

[7:30 p.m.] I reward myself with some video games and relax in my comfy clothes until it's time to work on more music.

[10 p.m.] I mix the ideas from earlier, which is usually where I spent the next four to six hours working. I've formed a habit of falling asleep at my desk unfortunately, and I tend to wake up in the middle of the night and realize I should sleep in my actual bed.

Where Do You Keep Your GRAMMY: Fantastic Negrito

DJ Khaled, featuring Nipsey Hussle and John Legend, has won Best Rap/Sung Performance for "Higher" at the 62nd GRAMMY Awards. The single was featured on DJ Khaled's 2019 album Father of Asahd and featured Hussle's vocals and Legend on the piano. DJ Khaled predicted the track would win a GRAMMY.

"I even told him, 'We're going to win a GRAMMY.' Because that's how I feel about my album," DJ Khaled told Billboard. "I really feel like not only is this my biggest, this is very special."

After the release of the song and music video -- which was filmed before Hussle's death in March -- DJ Khaled announced all proceeds from "Higher" will go to Hussle's children.

DJ Khaled and co. beat out fellow category nominees Lil Baby & Gunna ("Drip Too Hard"), Lil Nas X ("Panini"), Mustard featuring Roddy Ricch ("Ballin") and Young Thug featuring J. Cole & Travis Scott ("The London"). Hussle earned a second posthumous award at the 62nd GRAMMYs for Best Rap Performance for "Racks In The Middle." 

Along with Legend and DJ Khaled, Meek Mill, Kirk Franklin, Roddy Ricch and YG paid tribute to Hussle during the telecast, which concluded with "Higher."

Why has Bill Withers' immortal hit, "Ain't No Sunshine," endured for decades? And, furthermore, why does it seem set to reverberate throughout the ages?

Could it be because it's blues-based? Because it's relatable to anyone with a pulse? Because virtually anyone with an ounce of zeal can believably yowl the song at karaoke?

Maybe it's for all of those reasons and one more: "Ain't No Sunshine" is flexible. 

In the latest episode of ReImagined At Home, check out how singer/songwriter Ant Clemons pulls at the song's edges like taffy. With a dose of vocoder and slapback, Clemons recasts the lonesome-lover blues as the lament of a shipwrecked android.

Giving this oft-covered soul classic a whirl, Clemons reminds music lovers exactly why Withers' signature song has staying power far beyond his passing in 2020. It will probably be a standard in 4040, too.

Check out Ant Clemons' cosmic, soulful performance of "Ain't No Sunshine" above and click here to enjoy more episodes of ReImagined At Home.
