Ghanaian dancehall star Shatta Wale has announced that his 2025 single, “Street Crown,” has officially been submitted for Grammy consideration, marking a major milestone in his quest to project Ghanaian music onto the global stage.

The artiste made the announcement on October 1, 2025, confirming that the track has been entered in the Best African Music Performance category of the upcoming Grammy Awards.

In a post to his followers, Shatta Wale expressed heartfelt gratitude for the recognition, describing the moment as a victory for Ghanaian and African music.

“This moment is not just about me; it’s about Ghana, Africa, and every fan of African dancehall. From the streets to the world stage, our sound and culture now stand on the biggest platforms,” he wrote.

He added that regardless of the outcome, the submission itself represents a win for his loyal supporters and for young people who look up to his journey.
“Win or lose, this is already a victory for the Shatta Movement and for every youth who believes in hard work, consistency, and faith,” he stated.

If Street Crown passes the initial review and makes it onto the Grammy ballots, Shatta Wale will become an official nominee at the 2026 Grammy Awards.

The single, which forms part of his “Voice of the Crown” EP, has received widespread acclaim for its authenticity, empowering message, and top-tier production quality.

For Shatta Wale—one of Ghana’s most dynamic and influential music figures—this marks another defining chapter in his career. A Grammy nomination, if secured, would not only elevate his global status but also highlight the growing reach and influence of Ghanaian dancehall on the world stage.
