Last year’s ‘Best New Act’ winner Patoranking is again in contention for the 2016 awards – nominated this year for ‘Best Male’, where he goes head-to-head against last year’s winner, Tanzanian Bongo Flava star, Diamond. Patoranking also scored a second nomination in the 2016 awards for ‘Best Collaboration’ for “No Kissing” feat. Sarkodie.
