Mr Lexx—

BAD Boys, a single by El Freaky and Mr Lexx, was recently nominated in the Radio Single of the Year category at the Shock Awards (Premios Shock) 2016, held at The Carmel Club Music Hall in Bogota, Colombia.

Although he did not win, the dancehall deejay said he was grateful to be acknowledged.

“I am very honoured to be nominated for the Shock Awards this year. When I first recorded this song, I didn’t know that it was going to get so huge, so fast. I am just so amazed of how quickly this song became a favourite with so many people,” he said.

Bad Boys was selected for Italian car manufacturer Fiat’s ad campaign earlier this year.

 Also nominated in the category were Twister El Ray ( La Especula); J Balvin ( Ginza); Maluma (B orro Cassette); De Cali and Dandee ft Juan Magan y Sebastian Yatra ( In Fin Fin I Found You); Manuel Medrano ( Under the Water); Bomba Estereo ( Fiesta); Chocquibtown ( From the Day You Were); Silvestre Dangond ft Nicky Jam ( Materialist) and Carlos Vives ft Shakira ( Bicycle).

The latter took home the award.
