Nigerian superstars Wizkid and Bloody Civilian continue to make waves on the global stage as Bob Marley: One Love – Music Inspired By the Film, an album that features 10 songs by various artists.
The award was announced during the 67th Annual Grammy Awards premiere ceremony, held at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles on Sunday, February 2. Queen Sheba presented the award, with the album emerging victorious over Collie Buddz’ Take It Easy, Shenseea’s Never Gets Late Here, Vybz Kartel’s Party With Me, and The Wailers’ Evolution.
Although, they will not be credited with Grammy wins because the Recording Academy stipulates that “the winning album’s featured artists, producers, and engineers are also eligible for the award if they contributed to more than 50% of playing time on the project.”
Despite that, their feature on the album further cements their global influence beyond Afrobeats, proving versatility across different music genres. Wizkid’s presenceand voice is so flawless and heavenly on the project and has introduced Marley’s legendary sound to a new generation of African and international fans while also expanding Nigeria’s footprint in the reggae world.
