Marley Dominate The Grammys
Marley emerged on top at The 60th annual Grammy Awards. Damian Marley was presented with the title of Best Reggae album for 2017. So I personally want to say big Up to the “Gong” for another outstanding accomplishment.
Other Nominees in the category included
Chronology – Chronixx
Lost In Paradise – Common Kings
Wash House Ting – J Boogs
Avrakedabra – Morgan Heritage.
This category has been dominated by the Marleys since the turn of the century, and this is the 3rd time Damian got the award.
