“I am truly honored to be accorded the Kwame Nkrumah Award at the BASS Awards 2016. This year has been an amazing year filled with milestones for me personally, the Ghanaian music industry and Ghana’s reggae/dancehall movement across the board. We have seen our music rising in stature and becoming a formidable force at home and abroad. We have seen our music now represented on some of the most prestigious global platforms including the GRAMMY nomination for ‘Branches of the Same Tree’.


I therefore would like to accept these awards in acknowledgement of my fellow musicians who were also nominated in the respective categories and the various artistes, Djs, radio stations, TV stations, event organizers and practitioners who have all contributed in unique ways to the growth of our industry. Finally I would like to dedicate the awards to the people of Ghana for demonstrating a true spirit of unity and political maturity during our recent elections. These awards are for all of us! Thank you!”
