Now what is this “5th August” Concept all about?
In 2017, Lyrical Joe birthed the concept to release a rap song dubbed “5th August”. The idea received a warm welcome from his then management “Galatrava records”. The first edition released was in 2017 which paved the way for greatness. Surprisingly, the song went on to win more fans and actually exceeded his expectations. Since the first edition of this series, he has been consistent with over 4 series under his belt now. The Ghanaian rapper is known widely for his lyrical prowess and pen game.
Why 5th August?
Lyrical Joe chose 5th August for this series because that marks the day he was born. To celebrate his new age (birthday), the rapper has instituted that day to release this project. The idea is to release a record-setting masterpiece that will define an era with good lyrical content and good production, he stated. Since the beginning of the 5th August series, no rap songs have reached Lyrical Joe’s lyrical standard across the continent.
