Renowned hip-hop artist Erigga has declared that Phyno is the greatest Nigerian rapper of all time.
In a recent interview with Echoo Room, the Warri-born rapper shared that collaborating with Phyno had always been a dream of his. He revealed that their recent hit, ‘Up Iweka’, came to life after a conversation they had. Erigga also praised Phyno for his consistent impact on the music scene.
He stated, “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.”
Erigga’s words reflect his deep admiration for Phyno’s enduring influence and presence in the Nigerian music industry.
