Vector’s style of rap runs through the fast and equally slow tempo. His style of rap has been compared to that of rapper Jay-Z
There were sparks thrown into the air when Nigerian Artiste Reminisce recorded a diss track "ATA (Street Kitchen Reply)" with the line, "V.E what shit ki lo’n je be. Shebi iwo lo rap ju shit o ma pe’n nbe" in reply to Vector's verse on Sauce Kid's "Kitchen Street" in which Vector said "For all those boys wey dey show. Ti e ba fe ma form pe eyin lata ani tomato to ma to".After this incidence Vector has replied with the track "Distractions (Reminisce Diss)".
A track with him and A.Q on it. Vector hit him with the lines, "Cos you bleach your skin doesn't mean you are enlightened, Pig. I'm the base and my crew be strong, you cannot be the best cos you had one stupid song."
