UMP FACES EXTREME CRITICS
The
annual Urban Music People awards lately known as Urban Music Party has faced a hundred thousand tones of critics
this year after it releases the official list of 2017 UMP awards nominees on 14th
october at the Game underground car park in Blantyre.
As
usual, these awards faces critics every year starting from its nomination
system and the winners of its awards. This year the UMP awards made a scandal
when it changed one of its best hiphop act of the year nominee “Martse”
and replacing him with the Apse
ntima rapper “Macelba”. The UMP organizers mentioned Martse in the first
place during the release of the official nominee list, and later posted on
twitter another list which swapped Martse for Macelba. According to rumors,
this has been done due to the pressure that the organizers received from funs
after the absence of Macelba on the list of best hiphop act.
Apart
from that issue, UMP has also been criticized by prominent names in the
industry for not nominating some people whom they think deserved a nomination
for the effort they showed in the year to end.
Well
known producer from capital city “AK” of the Hype team expressed his
views on facebook saying that Janta of SU records & “Tricky
beats” deserved a spot in the category of best producer of the year but
instead they nominated Gaffar, Stich fray, Sonye & BFB. This
claim was fairly admitted by Zomba based Lcity rapper Krazy G.
Bensam,
the owner of record rebel Bensam Entatainment felt like his song Tikhaulitsa, which featured a lot of
biggest artists in the game, deserved
recognition in the UMP awards.
An
upcoming reggae/artist “Princi Musiq” equally expressed his
views whereby he thinks “Zathu band” could have been nominated
for the Best band category.
In
other developments, “Excess” of the Mikozi mikozi revealed an unverified
rumor that the newly introduced category named Best SADC Act has already been
secretly planned by the UMP organisers to go to “Nasty C” this is to hook
the SA rapper to headline the 2018 UMP awards.
The
following is the current official nomination list;
