I mentioned recently on this blog that Tarrus Riley one in every category he was nominated in at the Reggae Academy Awards. Well he tops the list of nominees for the upcoming International Reggae and World Music Awards (IRAWMA).
He has seven nominations, two of which are Best Male Vocalist and Best Song, for the female anthem “She Royal”. Mavado follows with five (5) for Best Male DJ, Best Album, Best Recording Artist(s), Songwriter of the Year, and Community Service.Beenie Man, Buju Banton, Steven Marley and Sean Kingston all received four (4) nominations, while soca star Machel Montana, Kymani Marley and Junior Reid, each captured three (3). Reid is nominated for two (2) in the same category of Best Crossover for his hits with Alicia Keys (no one) and rapper MIMS (this is why im hot)
This year’s 27th IRAWMA is focused on "Health Awareness" and takes place on Sunday, May 4, 2008 at the World Famous Apollo Theater, in New York City.
