Reggae and dancehall artiste Ras Kuuku has revealed that he is looking forward to winning the Gospel Song of the Year award at this year’s Telecel Ghana Music Awards.
In an interview on Daybreak Hitz with DJ Slim, Ras Kuuku stated that apart from the reggae/dancehall and male vocalist categories, he is also interested in the gospel song category.
“Yeah, [I would like to be nominated in] the gospel song of the year [category],” Ras Kuuku stated.
Even though he is not a gospel musician, Ras Kuuku believes he is eligible for the award and is confident that his music can compete in any genre.
The Telecel Ghana Music Awards limits the gospel song categories to only gospel artistes. The ‘Best Gospel Song’ is defined by the Telecel Ghana Music Awards as “the song adjudged by the Academy, Board, and the General Public as the most popular Christian song, commercially released in the year under review. The song must have generated the most public excitement and enjoyed a lot of patronage from the general public. Only songs performed by Gospel artistes are eligible for this category.”
Ras Kuuku has gospel songs such as ‘Me Mpaebo’, ‘Gyedie’ ft. MOGMusic, and his recent ‘Tumi’, which features Broda Sammy.
