Rap Heavy weight Sugar Mole recruits Himself to give us this massive hip pop vibe tagged Best Rapper Under 25. Sugar Mole is a Ghanaian Rapper signed to Ghanaian Rap Legend Obrafour. Following in Obrafours footsteps, Sugar Mole has decided to snatch the crown off the heads of rappers with this single. I do not know if it is going to sit well with a lot of these rappers especially if you consider the fact that highly rated rappers like Nasty C, Blaqbonez, Dremo, Lil baby , Blue face, Rody Rich, and the rest may still be under the age of 25.
Some weeks ago in Nigeria, controversy was started when Blaqbonez claimed to be the best rapper in Africa. He hasn’t had it easy ever since, as a lot of rappers who were not amused by this comment took to the studio and replied with disss records. Some would call it a marketing move by Blaq and his team, but the truth is you have to be ready for the consequences when shots get fired.
in my Opinion, Hip-hop is a competitive sport . Battling is regarded as the purest form of the art . You have to have shown lyrical dexterity, be sponteneous , and witty to survive such a sport. I do believe that Sugar Mole has all of these characteristics to hold on to the title he has claimed, it is left for anyone who doesn’t agree to step forward and tell us on wax why he disagrees.
