Ghanaian pop-culture hub Blac Volta recorded Rocky Dawuni and Vybz Kartel's conversation. In the video, Rocky Dawuni in turn celebrated Vybz Kartel's impact on the dancehall genre.

The pop-culture blog also indicated that Vybz Kartel had hailed Shatta Wale at the Grammys, referencing the latter's historic performance in Jamaica last year.

In an exclusive conversation with YEN.com.gh, music and marketing executive Randy Walker weighed in on Ghana's representation at the event saying,

Representation at these kind of events where the most influential in the industry gather every year is a priority for every artiste worldwide. While this edition saw Rocky Dawuni, King Promise, GyiltyBeatz and others at the event, its crucial not to downplay the presence of other stakeholders like BlackVolta. From.an industry perspective, Blac Volta was the highlight of the night. Some of the conversations and media moments from the night would not have been possible without them. I trust that shotcallers like Dentaa Amoateng will continue championing this balance do we don't build our wntire ecosystem among the artistes alone.
