Ghanaian rapper Lyrical Joe has expressed his disappointment in not winning the 26th Telecel Ghana Music Awards’ Rap Performance category.
He told DJ Slim and Doreen Avio on Dabreak Hitz that his disappointment stems from the significant effort and stress that went into creating the ‘5th August 8’ track.
“Yeah [I was disappointed this year], because last year’s 5th August caused me a lot of stress and a lot of work went into it. Slim, you know it’s not easy to shoot a 10mins hiphop video and keep it top notch,” he stated.
Lyrical Joe also mentioned that he’s always campaigned for the Rap Performance of the Year category.
“As for me anytime I’m nominated I do it [campaign for it], even my fans alone they would not let people sleep online. They want us to have the best rap performance and everything,” he said.
“So there’s never any clean way to complain you just leave it alone,” he noted.
Lyrical Joe lost the Best Rap Performance award in the 26th edition to Kwaku Smoke for his delivery on ‘Holy Ghost’. Other songs nominated in that category were ‘Manual’ by Eno Barony, ‘No Competition’ by Okyeame Kwame, ‘Brag’ by Sarkodie and ‘King is Back’ by Flowking Stone.
In 2022, Lyrical Joe won the slot with his ‘5th August 5’
