Thumbs-up for "Socially-conscious" music: Nigeria's Hip Hop World Awards
“This is to reward best positive message and social corrective songs in the year in review. We thought it was overdue and there cannot be a better time than now especially with a lot of lewd lyrics and songs that hardly make any meaning. We recognise that music as an act is expressive of the state of mind, but we thought it was necessary to introduce this category giving the peculiar environment in which we operate.” ~Ayo Animashaun, Awards Producer
