“I love the fact that both artistes are good rappers and keep showing their prowess on their songs. The pace at which both artistes dropped the songs is so amazing. I have listened to songs from both artistes and damn they are good.
“Lyrical Joe releases and within the next two hours or so Amerado is out with a response. Same way before the ink dries on Amerado’s songs, Lyrical Joe counters.

"But immediately they see each other and avoid themselves, then there is a problem which is not a good” he stated.
