E.L., who has been nominated for Best New Artiste of the Year, Best Rapper of the Year and Best Collaboration of the Year, has said that despite the fact that the nominees in the Best Rapper of the Year category are all gifted and talented, Manifest is best suited for the award.
“One of my favourite rappers in the whole world is Manifest and I will actually pick Manifest out of the rest even though they are talented and gifted artistes but Manifest is my favourite and I will tip him,” he said.
Elorm Adablah, also known as E.L. in the Ghanaian music industry, made the disclosure when he spoke in an interview with XFM 95.1 However, E.L. expressed his disappointment at the award committee’s failure to nominate budding musician Raquel for the Artiste of the Year category.
Raquel has been nominated in four different categories, but E.L feels she deserves to be the Artiste of the year. “I am actually not happy because Raquel has been working so hard this whole year and she has had big and successful songs that have come out to her credit.
She is just a magnanimous talent. Therefore I was hoping that she will be in the running for Artiste of the Year,” he said. According to the ‘Obuu Mo’ hit maker, it would have been nice to see Raquel win the Artiste of the Year.
He called on Ghanaians to choose wisely on who should be the deserved artiste of the year, adding that “it will be nice if a lady is adjudged the artiste of the year for a change” as “over the years it’s mostly men who come up tops in this category” Dennis Lantey Lawson ,Xfm.
