He has been nominated alongside Wizkid from Nigerian who got into the category with his 'Made In Lagos' album.

Last year, the category was won Nigeria's Burna Boy which left Ghanaian music lovers thirsting for a Ghanaian act to also make it to the Grammys and finally, Rocky Dawuni has done it again.
