Morgan was proud that their album was recognized by such an elite academy of musicians, song writers and composers. He sees this as a great accomplishment for Jamaica’s culture and music, and for that of the Caribbean as a whole.

However, the group is now proud of its accomplishment because it is all round winner. He said “We produce on the album, we play on the album, we sang, we wrote, and it is all mostly on our own label; so the label is now a Grammy award winning record company.
