Global music record label, Def Jam, has congratulated international music icon Stonebwoy for his Grammy consideration.<\/p>\n

The Ghanaian musician\u2019s latest album, \u201c5th Dimension\u201d received consideration for nomination at the upcoming 66th Grammy Awards across the \u201cBest Global Album\u201d and \u201cBest Reggae Album\u201d categories.<\/p>\n

It is also being considered for the \u201cBest African Performance\u201d category for \u201cManodzi\u201d, a stand-out single from the \u201c5th Dimension\u201d album featuring Grammy award-winning African singer Ang\u00e9lique Kidjo.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom the Def Jam Africa family we would like to congratulate Stonebwoy on his Grammy Consideration,\u201d the label wrote on Instagram.<\/p>\n

The 17-track album was released in April as Stonebwoy\u2019s first studio collection in three years after the release of \u201cAnloga Junction\u201d in 2020 and his first body of work since signing to Universal Group\u2019s label division Def Jam in 2022.<\/p>\n

The album features guest verses across multiple genres, spanning Afrobeats, reggae, dancehall, amapiano, and folk. Stonebwoy enlists Nigeria\u2019s Davido, Oxlade, Tiwa Savage, Beninese legend Ang\u00e9lique Kidjo, and South African amapiano progenitor DJ Maphorisa. Others include Shaggy (Jamaica), Dexta Daps (Jamaica), Mereba (US), and Jaz Karis (UK).<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Since its release, \u201c5th Dimension\u201d has scored notable industry success, including racking millions of streams on major streaming platforms as well as maintaining peak positions on music charts.<\/p>\n

The album debuted at No. 8 on the Billboard World Reggae Album Chart, making it the first Ghanaian album to score this success on the reggae charts.<\/p>\n

Its lead single \u201cLife & Money\u201d, which features UK rapper Stormzy, claimed the No. 14 spot on the Official UK Afrobeats Chart Top 20 songs.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Stonebwoy is no stranger to the Grammy Awards scheme and its platforms.<\/p>\n

Aside being a recipient of a Grammy award certificate in the past, for his participation on Grammy nominated project, recently, he featured on the prestigious Global Spin Platform, where he delivered a live performance of \u201cManodzi\u201d featuring Ang\u00e9lique Kidjo and the \u2018It Goes To Eleven\u2019 series to discuss his creative process. Back in 2021, Stonebwoy received an invitation to become an Academy member of the prestigious scheme.<\/p>\n
