Young, fresh and talented; the hip-hop and RnB musicians Camp Mulla are definitely going global after becoming the first Kenyan act to be nominated for a BET award.
The five-piece band (plus manager), which came together just three years ago, were nominated in the Best International Act: Africa category – introduced just three years ago by BET.
The group is nominated alongside other african household names in the Best International Act: Africa category which constitutes:
Camp Mulla (Kenya)
Ice Prince (Nigeria)
Lira (South Africa)
Mokobe (Mali)
Sarkodie (Ghana)
Wizkid (Nigeria)
Nigeria is a strong contender, what with Wizkid being signed on by Akon’s Konvict Music. Nigeria has won the past two awards for Africa, through D’Banj and 2Face.
Lira on the other hand has several nominations and awards tucked neatly under her usual flowing gowns.
Camp Mulla, which is made up of the beautiful Karun, Yung Kass, Taio Tripper and K’Cous, recently got back from Johannesburg where they performed at the Big Brother Africa eviction. .
This young group is popular even among the slightly older generation and as they stand right now, they seem unstoppable.
Camp Mulla will know their fate on July 1, when the event will take place.
Also expecting an award this year is Willow Smith, nominated for the YoungStars Award after releasing two new singles in 2011.
Camp Mulla are expected to travel to the awards ceremony venue next month.
The star keeps shining brighter and brighter for Kenya’s group Camp Mulla. They recently held a stellar performance at the Big Brother eviction party to the delight of Africa and now it’s official, they are nominees to the 2012 BET Awards, Best International Act. Beat that!!!
We doubt anyone can contest the fact that these kids have made Kenya and Africa proud!
Samuel L. Jackson will host the 2012 BET Awards, airing live from the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles on July 1 at 8PM.
