“Don’t Fuse Reggae And Dancehall” – Mr. Logic Tells VGMA Board
Mr. Logic has urged the board of the Vodafone Ghana Music Awards not to fuse the dancehall genre and the reggae genre in their award scheme.
Speaking on the Daybreak Hitz show on Hitz FM, Mr. Logic stated that the reggae musicians are mostly cloaked by the dancehall musicians, making it difficult for them to be nominated for awards.
He said;
The genre has been struggling. There are people who do reggae and not dancehall. Once you combine the two then you become confused. But you could have added ‘Reggae song and Dancehall song of the Year’.
Nii Lamptey didn’t get a nomination because the dancehall overshadows all the reggae musicians. It’s causing a lot of problem. We have Afrobeats and Afropop already.
VGMA is a senior scheme they should set the pace. We don’t want it combined together. We have Adina, Samini and Kahpun… if you give it to Adina then they will complain. Once you have the two… they take it and everyone is quiet. They should look into that part it’s very important.
