Top Kenyan shrapper Boutross Munene dreams of taking shrap music international, all the way to the Grammys. This comes after the Grammy’s voted to include more categories.
This opens up various African sounds to gain recognition in this feted worldwide ceremony. Best African music performance made it to the new categories included for the next ceremony.
