The submissions cover several major general and genre-specific categories. Oriadé has been entered for Album of the Year, Best Global Music Album, Best Engineered Album (Non-Classical), and Best Album Cover. Meanwhile, track submissions include “B4 B4” (featuring Mayorkun and FOLA) for Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best African Music Performance; “Nakupenda” for Song of the Year and Best African Music Performance; “Le Show” for Best African Music Performance; and “I Know Who I Be” for Best Music Video.
