“Listen, I know my album is good… I’ve been around too long to know that these awards don’t really mean shit.. imma keep moving…always.”

The nominated artists are Youngsta CPT, Yanga Chief, DJ Sliqe, K.O and Big Zulu.

Nadia is releasing new music and dropping a new music video for 4o Bars with DJ Captial.
