Speaking in an interview on Hot FM, Tinny was unequivocal when asked about the hierarchy of Ghanaian rap.
"He gets the style, stagecraft, lyrics and everything," Tinny said, adding that Lord Kenya's all-around artistry set a benchmark that still stands today.
Lord Kenya dominated Ghana's music scene in the late 1990s and early 2000s before transitioning into ministry, and remains one of the most decorated rappers in the country's history.
The endorsement carries particular weight coming from Tinny, himself regarded as a pioneer of Ga rap and a heavyweight of the Hiplife era, making his verdict a peer assessment rather than casual admiration.
Tinny's comments came amid broader discussion about the evolution of Ghana's music industry and the standards set by legends of the Hiplife generation.
