Weeks after Cassper Nyovest was named the MAMA Best Hip Hop
act in Africa, the South African rapper is set to once again go head to head
against Nigerian rappers, Olamide and Phyno whom he defeated at the July 18
event in South Africa.
At the forthcoming African
Muzik Magazine Award, Cassper and the Nigerian duo as well as Chocolate City
CEO, MI Abaga, Sarkodie,AKA, NGA and Octopizzo from Kenya, would battle for
best rapper gong. Cassper who has released just an album in his musical career
would be looking forward to winning his 21st award.
Olamide has however
also had an impressive period in the past one year. From releasing his Street
OT album in November 2014 to several other singles which makes him one of the
buzzing acts on the continent, the YBNL boss also stands a good chance in the
category. Phyno on the other hand cannot also be ignored as one of the
favorites in this category. The Igbo influenced rapper has also put in a great
deal of effort this year. For Sarkodie, he is arguably the biggest act from
Ghana at the moment.
Despite losing the BET
Best International Act award to compatriot, Stonebwoy, Sarkodie who won the BET
award in 2012 has also worked hard enough and performed at major gigs to
deserve the award. Nigerian rap act and recently named Chocolate City CEO, MI
Abaga might however pull a surprise on everyone. The Short black boy who
released his much anticipated 3rd studio album, Chairman in October 2014 has
also made a commendable return in the past one year.
South Africa’s AKA won the Best Collaboration at the 2015 MAMA for his
effort on ‘All eyes on me’ which featured Burna Boy, Jr and DA LES. The rapper
cannot also be underrated in this category. For Angola’s NGA and Octopizzo from
Kenya, their AFRIMMA nominations have shown they are equally in
contention. AFRIMMA comes up on Saturday October 10, 2015....
