The nominations for the upcoming 2018 Urban Jamz Awards have finally been announced, and some big names in music are up for nominations at the organization’s third major awards show. Tenor, Daphne, Mr. Leo are amongst the superstars on the nominees list.
Salatiel, Locko, Daphne and Tenor lead for the most amount of nominations with Jovi, Mic Monsta, Black Santa, Blueprint Hakeem and Kikoh being amongst the album of the year nominees.
The awards show is slated to take place in Buea on March 10. Urban Jamz Awards’ CEO, Valery Atia is assuring fans and nominees that this year’s event will be phenomenal and nothing will stop it from holding.
He also stresses on the issue of TIME saying he prays fans and nominees attend the event on time (red carpet starts 5PM) due to the recent military intervention in Buea where citizens are forced to return home by 10PM.
