Well-known Nigerian hip-hop artist Erigga has claimed that Phyno is the best rapper of all time.
The rapper, who was born in Warri, recently told Echoo Room that he has always desired to work with Phyno.
He claimed that “Up Iweka,” his most recent joint single with Phyno, was a conversational recording. He commended Phyno’s constancy.
Erigga said, “I have always wanted to do a song with Phyno. We have always had that conversation.
“Whenever I told him of my intention, he would always say it was left to me.
“When I want to make an album it is always a problem trying to look out for features because I am not that guy that just puts everybody on a song. Sometimes, the collaboration won’t come out when if the energies don’t match.
“I look at Phyno as someone who has been in the game and lives through different times.
“He is the GOAT. Phyno is the greatest Nigerian rapper because he lived those times and he is still relevant.”
Phyno has definitely made a significant impact on the Nigerian hip-hop scene, especially with his ability to blend Igbo language and culture into his music. He’s widely respected for his lyricism and flow, and he’s had a lot of commercial success.
However, whether he’s the “greatest” is subjective and really depends on individual taste and criteria. Nigeria has a rich history of talented rappers, each with their own unique style and contribution.
