In 2017, Stonebwoy’s Epistles Of Mama came close to being voted album of the year but he was beaten by Chronixx with his Grammy-nominated Chronology.
However, in 2018, Ghanaian singer Samini won the album of the year with his reggae album album ‘Untamed’ thus becoming the first Ghanaian to earn that nod.
