Rappers Little Simz and Knucks have been named co-winners for Best Album at this year's Mobo Awards.

It was the first-ever tie in the awards' 25-year history, which celebrates black music and culture.

This victory is another accolade for the intense staff of Simz Sometimes I Might Be Introverted, which won last month's Mercury Prize.

Knucks was honored for his debut in the jazz-rap, Alpha Place, named after the London estate where he grew up.< /p>

The judges said that "both artists showed where British rap can go, both in terms of production and lyrics".
