Ghanaian rapper, Lyrical Joe, is not resting on his oars as he gears up to win the Best Rap Performance award for the second time at this year\u2019s Vodafone Ghana Awards (VGMA).<\/p>\n
Lyrical Joe, who won Best Rap Performance award last year, believes he stands a good chance of winning the award due to his track record.<\/p>\n
This year, he has been nominated again in the same category with acts such as Teephlow, Strongman, Sarkodie, Amerado and Medikal.<\/p>\n
Many music stakeholders believe with his numerous hit songs on the market, Lyrical Joe is the ideal candidate for the Best Rap Performance award.<\/p>\n
With songs like \u2018Superman\u2019 , \u2018Knack\u2019 , \u2018Goodness and Mercy\u2019, \u2018Fear\u2019, \u2018Betrayal\u2019 among others to his credit, Lyrical Joe believes his hard work in the year under review had surpassed all and deserving of the award, adding that he will win the award for the second time.<\/p>\n
The rapper, however, expressed his disappointment for not being added to the \u2018Songwriter of the Year\u2019 list for 2023 Vodafone Ghana Awards (VGMAs).<\/p>\n
He told AJ Sarpong in an interview on the 3FM Drive, \u201cI won\u2019t say I was disappointed at the VGMA nomination.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe only thing I really wanted that I didn\u2019t get was the Writer of the Year, I wanted the Writer of the Year for my song \u2018Self\u2019 because it deserves it,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
When asked for his possible reaction if his rival Amerado wins the VGMA 2023, he said, \u201cCongrats to him if he wins the \u2018Best Rapper of the Year for #24thVGMA\u2019 I won\u2019t be bothered if I don\u2019t take it. Me being nominated alone is top tier.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lyrical Joe released his latest 15-track album titled \u2018Photo Album\u2019 on March 1 and some of the songs on the album include \u20182 Bottles\u2019, \u2018Flex\u2019, \u2018Hustle and Ambition\u2019, \u2018Street Prophets\u2019, \u2018A Gate\u2019, \u2018ABCD\u2019, \u2018Cover\u2019, \u2018Self\u2019 among others.<\/p>\n
He is currently the brand ambassador for the Ghana Tertiary Awards (GTA).<\/p>\n
