Is Nasty C best rapper in Africa?

Who's the best between Nasty C and Vector, before the question strick your mind based on the personal attached feeling of being a Nigerian we always support our own, which is why we are always the best in the world, but on this review I’m sorry I will disappoint you it's a different ball game with some little fact check that validate things when it comes to African Rap, remember Gen Z era it's all about evidence, follow me and see for yourself

Before you delve into your feelings while reading this, I'll begin with Spotify results. Nasty C's monthly listeners are currently 1.2M, while Vector's monthly listeners are 486.1k. You might have many reasons to disagree with this fact, but let me add my little point. Nasty C's lyrics are deeper and equipped with broader exposure, noticeable in his raps. On the other hand, Vector is deep in Nigerian culture, both street-smart and book-smart in his lyrics, but he is limited in exposure, which can be noticed when you listen to any track from their albums or features.

I intentionally didn't mention the first 3 songs' numbers on each artist's list on Spotify, but I want to add this for better reference: Nasty C's numbers on YouTube are 1.23M, while Vector's numbers fall at 64.5k. Another little tip from me towards this fact is that Nasty C is doing way better than Vector in international features. I don't even think Vector has any international features. I did some research about their worth, and the result was not what I expected. Nasty C is worth $3 million, while Vector is worth $5 million.

Okay, I randomly picked one song from Nasty C Spotify list titled Lose Some Win Some, while I chose Clowns for Vector featuring Ladipoe. While listening, can you see the influence of Naija in Vector's intention, mission, vision, and message of his song? It's more about acknowledging growth through some big names in America. In contrast, Nasty C focuses on paving the way for others, even though they might not get it now. On another note, if I'm correct, Nasty C has three multi-platinum singles, while Vector has none.

With this little information, I just reviewed with you, who do you think is the best between Nasty C and Vector? Don't be biased. If Vector and Nasty C went on a battle rap, who would you pick? With facts and evidence, I believe Nasty C is already bigger than Vector, even though Vector has been in the game before him. It's all about numbers and evidence that matters and counts. While not shading Vector lyrically, Nasty C is way deeper.
