39 reggae artists have been selected for consideration for the Grammy Award for Reggae Album of the Year. Some of the submissions include the ever so special album, Mavado's "Mr. Brooks...A Better Tomorrow" and Sizzla, "Ghetto Youth-Ology". Grammy award winner Sean Paul is back with his latest album "Imperial Blaze". Sean Paul's album released on August 18 just barely beat the submission deadline of August 31. Queen Ifrica is on the list repping for the ladies with her album "Montego Bay". Not to be left out, Buju Banton is also up for consideration with his "Rasta Got Soul" album. Both Stephen and Julian Marley are also up for consideration but no such consideration for brother Ziggy.
