Timoth Mvula added that, “Producers, the Sound Engineers, Directors and any other team behind the scenes of production of sound music deserve the credit for craft they display. Jazz Boy Running It Beats you are right biggie. Otherwise great work on the Bwacha Song ni Banger Sana Biggie.”

However, the Grammy awards are an exception as they award everyone in a hit album. Grammy fetes an artist or artists behind the song, featured artist, songwriters of new material, producer, recording engineer, mixer and mastering engineer.
