Ghanaian rapper EL, also known as Elorm Adablah, recently shared his top five lyricists in Ghana during an interview with DJ Slim. EL emphasized that while rapping involves putting words together rhythmically, lyricism is an art form that conveys messages in a complex and nuanced way, requiring multiple listens to fully grasp.

In his view, lyricism goes beyond simply making words rhyme and involves a deeper artistic expression. According to EL, the following artists stand out for their lyrical prowess: Kojo Cue, King Tradey, Kev the Topic, M.anifest, Omar Sterling (formerly Paedae), and Obibini. He clarified that his selection is not ranked and consists of active, influential figures in the industry.

EL's list sparked debate among fans, with some questioning the absence of prominent figures like Sarkodie, Strongman, and Lyrical Joe. Critics suggested that EL might be favoring friends or those who rap primarily in English, while others supported his choices.
