The 2012 South South Music Awards (SSMA) is around the corner and organizers have unveiled the nominees for the fourth edition.
Edo-born singer D’Jinee and talented vocalist Timi Dakolo lead the pack with two nominations in the ‘Best Pop’ and ‘Best Vocal Performance’ as well as fast rising rapper Phenom in the ‘Best Hip-Hop’ and ‘Best New Artiste’ category. But what to really look out for are big names like 2face, Terry G and Davido who are battling for the ‘Most Popular Video’ in the non-indigenous category.
Other big names include ‘Port Harcourt 1st son’ Duncan Mighty and Iyanya.
‘We hope the awards show keeps getting bigger as we try to host it every year despite the difficulties. Our Nigerian artistes need to be constantly celebrated for the input to the entertainment industry’, organizerAndy Bello says.
The awards show will hold on Sunday, December 2, 2012 at the Best Western Homeville, GRA, Benin City. A nomination-pre party event will however be held on Saturday, November 17, 2012.
