The “Girls Dem Sugar’ deejay told SLEEK, that he is working on a few new pieces of music as he aims to win the next reggae GRAMMY.
Beenie Man did not reveal when exactly this year he will release the album or the name, but said, “I will tell you and the world when the time is right.”
His album ‘Simma’ was nominated for the 2024 Grammy Awards in the category of Best Reggae Album but was unsuccessful as it went to Julian Marley and Antaeus with their project ‘Colors of Royal’
While he did not win, the dancehall icon is thankful for the success of his albums over the years.
However, for the project to be eligible for nomination to the 2025 GRAMMYs, it must be released between October 1, 2023, through September 15, 2024.
