The MAMA “Evolution” award honours established artistes who have made an indelible mark on African and global music culture, taken African music to new territories around the world, pushed the boundaries of creativity, and shaped the soundscape of contemporary Africa.

D’banj dedicated his award to his erstwhile business partner and producer, Don Jazzy, with whom he began his journey as an entertainer, under the defunct Mo’Hits Records.

“I wanna invite thank my father, even though we are not….God bless you Don Jazzy. This award is dedicated to D’banj and Don Jazzy.” D'banj said in an emotion-laded acknowledgement speech.

D’banj has  also released the official music video for 'Salute' featuring Ice Prince Zamani.

The video shot on location in Atlanta, was directed by Moe Musa. D’banj and Ice Prince take to the streets, and display immense wealth via shopping, expensive cars, and the best of women. The video also contains cameos from Kelvin Boj, and Tunde Ednut.

This release comes as part of the 10th Anniversary celebrations, with a visual EP scheduled to drop in August.
