The award was first presented as Best British Urban Act at the 2003 Brit Awards and last presented in 2006.
In 2021, it was announced that the category had been revived and renamed Best British Hip Hop/Grime/Rap Act following the removal of gendered categories. This new iteration of the award was first presented at the 42nd Brit Awards and is voted for by the public along with the three other genre categories (Pop/R&B Act, Dance Act and Rock/Alternative Act).[4]
