SANGOKING, THE MISSING LINK

About Me

Seyi Sofola a.k.a SangoKing, defines himself as a bridge between the continent and the African Diaspora, a storyteller or modern day Griot who employs as many forms of the art of storytelling as possible. From spoken word to film, he has made considerable contributions to the global cultural landscape receiving recognition and major accolades in the process. His achievements have been numerous in his relatively young career, spanning a wide range of artistic media.He is currently one of the most revered Yabsmen in Rap music. He is credited with creating a new and innovative musical genre referred to as Pidgin Rap or Pidgin Yab. He is also credited as being the first person ever to run a Hiphop club-night in Lagos, Nigeria, at a time when the Hiphop phenomenon was still in its infancy in Africa, further attesting to his attribute as a bridge.
