However, the Jejereje hitmaker said he did not curate his new album necessarily to earn any Grammy nominations or awards.

"Like I always say, if it does happen to qualify and win, it will be part of the things that could speed up my art or craft but then, it is not my sole intention that I am creating this album for the Grammys."
