Kwesi Amewuga wins Unsung Artiste of the Year

The Unsung Category is the award scheme's initiative to support and promote the next generation of Ghanaian musicians.
Kwesi Amewuga shared the news of his win online, saying,
"God bless each and everyone who has been supporting my craft and every one who voted for me we have won together. This is just the beginning."
He takes over the baton from Lynx Entertainment signee DSL, who won the award last year.
Entertainment analyst Yaw Boadu-Ayeboafoh spoke about Kwesi Amewuga's first TGMA award in an exclusive conversation with YEN.com.gh, saying,
Cheers to him. He found a hack in the industry and has never looked back. At a time when rap music seems to be suffering commercially, he is making things exciting. You can tell that it's well deserved just by looking at the growth from his debut last year to the present times. He is currently the most appealing out of all the contenders in the category, and that's telling of his hard work and what he has set out to achieve".

King Promise sets eyes on Artiste of the Year award
Earlier, YEN.com.gh reported King Promise had stated in an interview on Hitz FM that he would be disappointed if he was not named Artiste Of The Year at the upcoming TGMA.
The singer faces stiff competition from Black Sherif, Kuami Eugene, Nacee, Sarkodie and Stonebwoy, who all had a good year.
The musician mentioned that he and his team had done a lot of good work in the year under review, so it was only fair that he won.
