Reggae and Dancehall are the two most enjoyed genres in the
world, and today, the Grammy committee has announced the Nominees for Best
Reggae Recording, 2015.
The nominees are:
Ziggy Marley –
Fly Rasta
Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry
– Back At the Controls
Sean Paul – Full
Frequency
Shaggy – Out of
Many One Music
Sly & Robbie and
Spicy Chocolate – The Reggae Power
SOJA – Amid The
Noise and the Haste
Ziggy
Marley still uses the standard set by his Father, Bob Marley, when it comes
to producing good music, Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry is not afraid to be himself which
comes through in the unique music he makes.
Sean
Paul understands the power of a single frequency, not to mention what
happens to the masses when they get full frequency (he chose the right title
for his album).
Shaggy
single handedly brought nations of people together, and the true intentions of
his heart were revealed when this album was made. Not only is he the hardest working man in our
business, he is one of the hardest working in music and entertainment, and
always creates opportunities for others.
Tessanne
is just ONE of many.
Sly
& Robbie never cease to amaze with their work ethic and work habits. They operate as if they have nothing and the
project they are working on (currently) means everything to them. In other words, despite the many Grammy’s
they’ve won in the past, despite the amount of world tours they’ve been on,
they act as if all of it is happening again, but for the first time. This is so humbling.
SOJA
are the newest kids on the Reggae block!
They are well known on the West Coast of the US, but they are from
Arlington, VA, just across the Potomac River.
The amount of their fans is
equivalent to the amount of grains of sand found on a beach in Montego Bay …
they have a lot!
Good luck to all the nominees!
