Following the decision of the Recording Academy, organizers of the Grammy Awards to include Ghanaian Drill as a music genre that qualifies to be nominated for the newly created Grammy category, ‘Best African Music Performance’, music lovers have been divided on electing a specific artiste whose music helped Ghana music achieve this new feat.

While, there has been a consensus that, this new achievement was made possible by local Kumasi-based music group, Asakaa Boys, music lovers, specifically, social media users have expressed diverse opinions on who led the movement.

Fans have been divided behind the following rappers; Jay Bhad, Yaw Tog and Kwaku DMC. Followers of Jay Bhad argue that he should be the ‘poster boy’ for Ghanaian Drill because he has been consistent in releasing drill hits since the group’s debut, while fans of Yaw Tog, a former member of Asakaa Boys, argue that he is fit to be the ‘poster boy’ because his feature with Kwesi Arthur, and UK rapper, Stormzy gave Ghanaian Drill an international appeal.

For Kwaku DMC, he was nominated largely for the key role he played in the formation of Asakaa Boys.

The Grammy “Best African Music Performance” category is open to both contemporary and traditional music from the African continent including Afrobeats, Afro-pop, Amapiano, High Life, Fuji, Ghanaian Drill and many others.

Stomzy came in for who?
Of course Yaw Tog
The boy gave life to the title'Ghanaian Drill' when he was in SHS 2 in Opoku Ware School in KSi
So imagine the kind of hard work he put in his work to get that feature with Stomzy and Kwesi Arthur
Please don't steal this from the boy???? pic.twitter.com/G1XwzvR01X
