Remember when afrobeat musician Seun Kuti put out a “For Your Consideration” asking members of the Recording Academy to nominate him for a Grammy award?

This is NOT A NOMINATION. This is simply a shout out to all my @recordingacademy friends to vote for my album since it is being considered! Even if e sweet to hear I can’t let the bloggers spread inaccurate stories. I am very glad with the outpouring of support tho and I know if Grammys were open voting , we will win everything. Nominations will be announced in December. We will celebrate then!! #getthesax

Well, he’s been nominated!

The Grammy noms were announced today and our very own has been nominated in the Best World Music Album category for his album “Black Times.”

Congratulations to him!
