It is the time of the year when musicians who have excelled in the year under review would be rewarded at the Ghana Music Awards.

Against this backdrop, entertainment analysts have started enlightening the public on how some Ghanaian artistes worked hard in the year under review.

It is for this reason that two renowned entertainment critics have openly endorsed King Promise for the Artiste of the Year title.

Speaking on Hitz FM, Nana Asiamah Hanson, affectionately called Bulldog said, King Promise will win the Artiste of the Year hands down.

According to him, his predictions do not fail.”King Promise will win hands down, King Promise pushed the boundaries more than anyone else. He was in Asia, tell me who went to Asia to promote our music there?,” he queried.

He noted that King Promise toured different continents and had hit songs on his album.

On his part Arnold  Asamoah Baidoo, he would be disappointed if King Promise fails to win Artiste of the Year at this Year’s Telecel Ghana Music Awards.

“This year’s award will go to King Promise, he has shown a lot of consistency from last year and there has not been any rest for him,” he said.

Consequently, he urged fans of  King Promise to aggressively push for him to win the ultimate.

Arnold Asamoah also charged the board, academy and general public not to miss out crowning  King Promise, because he is the deserving person for the Artiste of the Year.
