Mumbai, Aug 24 (IANS) Hip Hop artist Paradox said that there’s no need for comparisons between him and MC Square, as each brings their own set of skills to the table.

The duo, who are currently seen as mentors on the reality show “MTV Hustle 5”, said they enjoy the fans’ expectations of seeing them collaborate and promised that more music together is on the way.

Talking about the fear of comparison between him and MC Square, Paradox told IANS: “I feel that there is no need to maintain it because there are many things in which both of us are experts, in many different aspects. And there has never been a situation where people have compared us.”

“People want us to make music together because, when we make music together, all the skills are consumed by the people on the same plate. So, it is like that. There has never been a comparison, but we like it when you expect us to collaborate. So, keep expecting the same from us, and you will keep getting new music together.”
