Lyrical Joe – Sass (WYFL Riddim)

Lyrical Joe takes his turn on the beat of the moment with Sass (WYFL Riddim), a powerful performance that shows why he is regarded as one of the finest lyricists in Africa. Riding the WYFL Riddim produced by DJ Mac and Crash Dummy, he combines sharp wordplay, confidence and the intricate rhyme schemes that have earned him multiple Best Rapper nominations.

The riddim is a hard dancehall instrumental, and Lyrical Joe attacks it with a hip-hop flow that sets his version apart from the dancehall artistes who have also jumped on it. The lyrics video is on YouTube.

What Sass is about

Sass is about lyrical dominance. Lyrical Joe raps about his journey, the rappers who cannot match his technique and the self-belief that has carried him through an industry that does not always reward skill, and he does it with the multisyllable rhyming and flow switches that are his trademark. On a riddim shared with dancehall heavyweights, he makes a case for the rapper’s version being the hardest.

The WYFL Riddim

The WYFL Riddim is a 2026 dancehall instrumental produced by DJ Mac and Crash Dummy that has become one of the most jumped-on beats in Ghanaian music this year. In the Jamaican riddim tradition, one instrumental is shared by many artistes, each recording their own version, and the WYFL Riddim has drawn Stonebwoy, Shatta Wale, Medikal, Lyrical Joe, Epixode, Kwesi Amewuga, Captan, Kamelyeon and others. Several of the versions are on GhanaSongs.com, and comparing them is half the fun.

Why the song connects

Lyrical Joe has made a habit of taking popular beats and outrapping everyone on them, and Sass continues that habit on the biggest riddim of the year. Rap fans have passed the record around for its technique, and it has strengthened his claim to be the most skilled rapper in Ghana. Heard alongside “Ogya”, also on GhanaSongs.com, it shows an artiste at the peak of his craft.
