The Zim Hip-Hop Awards committee today released this year's nominees on their Facebook page and as expected visits to the feeling station have already started and opinions over who should get what and why are already flying all over social media.A quick perusal of the nominees list will reveal that this year the committee tried to encompass every single person who was relevant to local rap culture though a few suspect characters have been bundled in.The breaking new ground theme is embodied in the decision to leave the ultimate decision on who gets what award to the fans through a texting based voting platform.The list is mostly fair but as with any awards rappers and fans alike will cry foul for having been left out and some sections of the Hip-Hop community believe the submission based criteria used to select nominees should be changed.Anyway without further ado here is the full list,go through it and be sure to hashtag #ZHHA16 and to vote for your favorites.
