Sound Sultan
Sound Sultan (born Olanrewaju Abdul-Ganiu Fasasiⓘ; November 27, 1976 – July 11, 2021) was a Nigerian rapper, singer, songwriter, actor, comedian, and recording artist. He was regarded as one of the pacesetters of modern hip hop music in Nigeria. He was notable for using his music to speak against poverty, corruption, bad governance and societal ills in Nigeria.
In 1991, he took interest in music and miming at school parties and writing his own lyrics. He attributed his early influence to his elder brother Baba Dee who studied theatre arts, and received most of his early stage experience through Baba Dee.[citation needed] He started learning how to play the guitar after his secondary school education and was in a band by 1999.
Sound Sultan's career in show business started in the 1990s, when he hosted shows to raise money for studio sessions.
By 1999, he had won numerous local talent-hunt shows. He released his first single - Mathematics "Jagbajantis" in 2000, which was a hit in Nigeria. After independently releasing other singles and featuring in hit songs of other artists, he was signed by Kennis Music.
Under Kennis Music, he released four albums. By 2007, his contract with the label expired and he partnered with Baba Dee to start Naija Ninjas, a parent organization for a record label, production outfit and clothing line. After starting as a rapper, he worked in different musical genres from R&B to Afrobeat, soul and Nigerian Fuji music. He said that artists shouldn't be judged on the genre in which they performed, that the important thing is the message conveyed in the music.[citation needed]
Under Naija Ninjas, he released Back From The Future (2011) and signed artists such as Karma Da Rapper, Young GreyC, Shawn (Sean Tizzle) and Blacka.
Naija Ninjas released their debut EP titled The Rebirth in 2012 and it featured the hit single Aropin which was produced by music producer Prodizzle featuring Sound Sultan, Karma & Sean Tizzle.
Sound Sultan began a working relationship with Wyclef Jean when he featured alongside 2face Idibia and Faze on "Proud to be African" from Wyclef's Welcome to Haiti: Creole 101 album. They collaborated on two other projects: "King of My Country" (2009) and "People Bad" (2012).
