THIS year’s Zim hip hop nominations list is out and Cal_Vin is leading the pack with seven nominations, veteran Jnr Brown has six while new kid on the block Takura has five.

The annual hip hop awards will be held on December 15 in Harare at 1+1 Plaza with a record 25 categories.

Founder of the awards Adrian “Beefy” Harrison said they wanted to hold the awards in Bulawayo but due to some challenges they faced, they decided to hold them in Harare.

“The awards were supposed to be held in Bulawayo this year but we faced challenges. Bulawayo has to wait for next year and we hope by then the challenges would have been addressed,” he said.
