Proud Zimbo Music Awards 2020

So at the end of year I usually gave my top projects of that year, be it top 5 or top 10. For 2020 decided to take it up a notch and do the first ever Proud Zimbo Music Awards. 

Decided to make them a small online event. So for a start could not award too many categories, I decided on just 6: Newcomer of the year, Collaboration of the year, Female artist of the year, Male artist of the year, Album/Project of the year and lastly Song of the year. 

So I teamed up with a friend and colleague who does not want to be named yet and each compiled a list of their own and then we combined the two lists. It was quite an interesting task and after some months of listening and going back and forth on tracks, this is what we ended up with..
