A little bit to the right and left. A lot of facts and few insinuations.Same way Joey spoke I'll of Phyno's work,predicted the dead of Zanku and letter lobbied to meet Zlatan and now coming for M.I. Fine piece only need to stop the attempt at bullying,cos someday someone like Ikechukwu and Burna would not respond with tweets and words. Word for the wise.

I love this piece. It's a balanced one. It's coming from the angle of someone who wants to see hip hop thrive without seeing other genres as enemies or hindrances.

How do you claim you want to see hip hop thrive and yet try to bring MI down, that’s conflicting to me, he has his shoulder up high because he is almost certain Hip hop won’t pop again;MI won’t pop again. We will see.

Mind blown, Really apt way to chronicle the time we live in. Change is constant, adapt or go extinct. Nice one Joey

I agree with the points raised in this article. The only thing keeping many Nigerian rappers in the game is fear, shame and that bloody, basic need for survival. The purist way isn't bringing near enough bread unless they dabble into other things.

In other news, a couple of errors here and there in the write-up. Seems it was done in a rush. Joey, I'll like to edit/proofread future releases for you free of charge if you want. Cheers.

F**k sh*t! This is undoubtedly Joey's best written piece I've read. Pulsating! I had to read some lines again. Kudos legend. You are uncancellable!
