The nominees will be announced in November.

The album features songs performed by Slashe, Mento Tones, Avante, Lady Denna & The Whole Note Mento Band, Hot Rod, Shuga, N-Rich, Princess Black, Prince Fabulous, Eric Donaldson, and Exco Levi.

The album is available for streaming and download on several digital music platforms across the world, including Apple Music, Amazon Music, Deezer, and Spotify.
