The prestigious award is a fitting tribute to the band’s frontman Frederick ‘Toots’ Hibbert, who died last year on September 11 at the age of 77, before “Got To Be Tough” was released.  The 10-track album was also his first in 10 years.

Last year, Koffee won the Best Reggae Album award for her Rapture EP.
