Teephlow names his top Ghanaian rappers with lyrical prowess

Ghanaian rapper Teephlow has recently shared his list of top Ghanaian rappers, emphasizing the importance of lyrical ability and craft. In an interview with Joy Prime, the rapper explained that his choices were primarily based on a rapper's skill in writing, constructing lyrics, and delivering meaningful verses. Teephlow's selections primarily came from Skillions Record label, where he was nurtured, alongside notable artists like Joey B, E.L, etc. He regarded these signees as a single entity rather than naming each artist individually.

Additionally, Teephlow highlighted older generation artists such as Sarkodie, M.anifest, and Yaa Pono, as well as veteran rappers Okyeame Kwame and Obrafour, as crucial contributors to the evolution of Ghanaian rap. Despite being asked to name five, Teephlow firmly stated that leaving out either Okyeame Kwame or Obrafour would be unjustified, given their significant influence on the development of Ghanaian rap.
