No rapper in Ghana can say he’s the best – E.L ‘fires’ Sarkodie for claiming supremacy

Rapper E.L has said that there is no need for someone to hold him or herself as the best rapper, indicating he does not also subscribe to the increasing spate of unhealthy rivalry in the music space.

Rapper Sarkodie on April 6, got the industry buzzing after he released ‘Sub Zero’, a track some Ghanaians alleged was a jab to rapper Ball J, Asem and dancehall artiste Shatta Wale. In the song, Sarkodie said another person can only take the rap crown when he dies and also he’s the Jesus of Ghana rap.

Speaking in a virtual interview with MzGee on TV3 New Day, E.L, who claims not to have heard the ‘Sub Zero’ track, noted that there is no best rapper in Ghana.

The ‘Kaalu’ hitmaker revealed that he has heard rumours about beefs and all kinds of unfriendly competition but “if it is going to be competition, it should be competition that helps each other to grow and to develop”.

Asked where he places himself in the Ghanaian rape space, E.L responded that he is in a class of his own.

The rapper, who is out with a new video, ‘Efa Wo Ho Ben’, stressed that when it comes to rap, no one is the best.

“I don’t place myself anywhere the thing is as I have grown and I have come to realise that, when it comes to rap nobody is better than anybody. There is no best rapper. Rap is an art form and the thing about art is you can’t do arts better than anybody else…so all the competition that goes on and stuff, I’m in a class of my own… when I see those lists, it’s sad to me because people are getting boxed up and I’m just not in that class,” he said.
