Seems like the Marley family wins this award every year. (By my count Ziggy leads everyone with 7; Stephen 3; and Jr. Gong 3.)
Julian probably has no chance because of this dominance (sic) backlash but his album is a deserving nominee. Quite good.
Jamaica's Reggae Ambassadors aka Third World recorded a masterpiece with captivating tribal rhythms and percussion.

England Steel Pulse remained true to their identity with highly political and intense lyrics coupled with a strong pulsating beat.
Sly & Robbie are legendary One Drop mainstays.
Aside from Julian and Koffee they're all Old School nominees. (Bit surprised neither Chronixx or Proteje.)
Given her unprecedented meteoric rise in popularity I'm expecting Koffee "Rapture" will Capture the award this year.

Sting & Shaggy won last year.

These are the days of quick decision
Get out the box you live in
These paper walls they call a prison
Now at the seams they’re ripping
It’s their secret to control
The mind, body and soul
Then leave you in a hole (it’s)
Chorus
Mass Manipulation- but they’re heading for destruction
Mass Manipulation- heading for damnation hey!
Verse II
Blow the whistle chime that bell
That’s a sign they’re falling
To dwell in cells and not in hotels
Unleash the ones they’re caging
Oh make no mistake
War stress calls they are fake
Outbreaks they orchestrate
It’s like the icing on their cake
Chorus
Mass Manipulation- but they’re heading for destruction
Mass Manipulation- heading for damnation
Mass Manipulation- make nations war ‘gainst nations
Mass Manipulation- it’s your condemnation hey!
Verse III
Most men minds – minds are weak
No questions asked – no critique
Nuff a dem a wolves – dress up like sheep
Come to deceive – counterfeit
Pure hearts can’t be weak
A higher heights we a seek
Our freedom our liberty
In heritance for the meek
Chorus
Mass Manipulation- but they’re heading for destruction
Mass Manipulation- heading for damnation
Mass Manipulation- make nations war ‘gainst nations
Mass Manipulation- it’s your condemnation
Chorus
Mass Manipulation- hey what you gonna do in this curfew
For me and for you- in this;
Mass manipulation- on and on and on and on
Cause you’ve been warned
By the Bihorn
To be a good pawn,
When dem throw dem corn
A good toy soldier
Obedient puppet (That never questioned)
The New World order.
Mass Manipulation
War assimilation
Mass Manipulation
Just to sell their big guns
Mass Manipulation
