Airtel Ghana has congratulated it brand ambassador EL, for winning the Album of the Year at this year's Vodafone Ghana Music Awards with his album titled “Something else”.

The rapper, songwriter and music producer beat Cwesi Oteng, Okyeame Kwame, D-Black, and Asem to win the enviable award.

“Something else” is a double CD compilation with 24 tracks including the very popular “Kaalu', “Obuu mo” and “Auntie Martha”.

Head of Corporate Communications at Airtel Ghana, Donald Gwira said in a statement, “the album is indeed a good one and it is not surprising that it notched the award. EL is a hardworking artiste who gives off his best all the time and that can be heard throughout the 24 tracks on the album. We at Airtel are proud of his achievements”.

Airtel earlier this year signed EL, known in private life as Elorm Adablah, as its new brand ambassador.

EL composed and performed the signature tune heralding Airtel's new thematic campaign, 'my paddies, my network'.

In an earlier interview, the 'Kaalu' hit maker explained that he bought into the friendship concept of Airtel because it bore a striking semblance with his own rise to prominence.

EL is billed to perform at Sunyani, Takoradi and in Accra during the Airtel Rising Stars competitions, which start from May 31 in Sunyani in the Brong Ahafo Region.
