An award scheme for reggae and dancehall is set to be launched in Ghana in July, 2024.
Organiser of this anticipatory awards, Mr. Logic has explained that, the scheme called Reggae Gold Awards, is a drive to assist with resuscitating the reggae and dancehall genres.
Mr Logic, who was speaking with Kwame Dadzie on Joy 99.7 FM, further added that, the award which will be exclusively technical and not popular based, will reward pure reggae and dancehall tunes.

According to Mr. Logic who was very instrumental in the organisation of the Bass Awards which served the same purposes a few years ago, he decided to organise the awards when he realised the main people behind the Bass Awards had given up on the project.
“I was just monitoring the organisers of Bass Awards until one of them [Stip] made a post. I have always had this idea. Honestly, I was part of the foundation of Bass Awards.
When Bass Awards became a bit dormant, I was hoping to jump in, but I wasn’t sure Bulldog and Stip (the organisers of Bass Awards) would be coming back with something now until Stip made a post that reggae and dancehall should be annulled,” he said.
He noted the board of the scheme will comprise people who have technical knowledge in reggae and dancehall music and not just industry friends.
Mr. Logic said after the launch in July, the main awards ceremony will be held in November 2024.
