Musician Black Sherif has his sights set on winning ‘Album of the Year’ at the 2023 Vodafone Ghana Music Awards.
Speaking in an interview with blogger Zionfelix, the artiste noted that although the category is packed with some good works in the year under review, he believes that his debut album which was one of the most popular albums stands a chance.
Contenders battling for the ‘Album of the Year’ award are Sarkodie’s ‘Jamz’, Gyakie’s ‘My Diary’, King Promise’s ‘5 Star’, Kwesi Authur’s ‘Son of Jacob’ and Joe Mettle’s ‘The Kados’.
His ‘Kwaku The Traveller’ would have to beat these works, which the rapper says are good in their own right, to win the award.
