The 52nd annual Grammy awards nominees list has been released.

United Reggae is pleased to announce the 2009 Grammy Nominations for Best Reggae Album. They are -

Rasta Got Soul
Buju Banton
[Gargamel Music, Inc.]

Brand New Me
Gregory Isaacs
[Tad's Record]

Awake
Julian Marley
[Ghetto Youths/Tuff Gong/Universal Republic]

Mind Control - Acoustic
Stephen Marley
[Ghetto Youths/Tuff Gong/Universal Republic]

Imperial Blaze
Sean Paul
[VP/Atlantic]

With two Marleys in the running, the possibility of a victory for the dynasty looks high, while Sean Paul’s track record with awards shows is also very strong. Buju Banton’s Rasta Got Soul is a serious contender, although his clashes with the US gay community this year would make him a controversial choice in the eyes of the mainstream media. Gregory Isaacs Brand New Me is also in with a good chance and a win would be the icing on the cake for the veteran’s career.
