Now MTV Base Africa has revealed a new category called the 'Evolution' award, which has been added to the awards ceremony.
"The MAMA Evolution award honours established artists who have made an indelible mark on African and global music culture, taken African music to new territories around the world, pushed boundaries of creativity, and shaped the soundscape of contemporary Africa," MTV Base Channel Director Tim Horwood explained.
The nominees for this category are 2Face (Nigeria), Anselmo Ralph (Angola), Asa (Nigeria), Black Coffee (South Africa), Chameleone (Uganda), D'Banj (Nigeria), Fally Ipupa (DRC), HHP (South Africa, P-Square (Nigeria) and Samini (Ghana).
