Rapper Khaligraph Jones is set to go against Africa’s finest yet again after landing a nomination at the 2018 Soundcity MVP awards.
The awards are scheduled to take place at the Eko Convention Centre, Nigeria on January 5, 2019.
Jones has been nominated in the Best Hip Hop act category alongside other heavy weights such as Nasty C, AKA, MI Phyno among others.
Jones won the Best Rap Act of the Year during the fifth edition of the Annual African Muzik Magazine Awards 2018 (Afrimma) held in Dallas Texas in October.
Khaligraph beat ten other artists, including South Africa’s hip-hop artistes Casper Nyovest and Nasty C, to win the Best Rap Act.
On Instagram, Nigeria rapper MI sided with Jones saying he clearly deserves the award for his effort in 2018.
