Famous rapper Erigga has crowned Phyno the greatest Nigerian rapper of all time, citing his consistency and enduring relevance in the music industry.
In a recent chat with Echoo Room, Erigga revealed that he had always wanted to collaborate with Phyno, saying that their recent hit single “Up Iweka” was a result of their conversations.
Erigga lauded Phyno’s ability to thrive across different eras, saying, “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 the energies don’t match.
“I look at Phyno as someone who has been in the game and lived through different times.
“He is the GOAT. Phyno is the greatest Nigerian rapper because he lived those times, and he is still relevant.”
