Sjava continued to explain that the category would make it possible for more meaningful songs to gain success. He said:

"A dance song will be recognized more than that motivational song and at the end of the day, we need that balance, because as much as we need to dance we still need that motivation. So things need to balance more than anything."

He says that the category would help people to learn more about life through music as he said:

“Another thing that makes people make music that doesn't have a message is because most of the time it wont go anywheree, and they really end up missing out on so many lessons.”

The rapper hopes the award will show there's more to life than winning a trophy. Sjava said:
