Sound Sultan’s legacy has been further engraved in the hearts of his fans with the release of another posthumous record, Street O.T.
This significant track features rapper Ice Prince and emerging talent DJ ShabzyAce.
Sound Sultan’s long-term collaborator and friend ID Cabasa, the ever-present veteran, composed the track, featuring vocals from Rotimi Segun Jolaosho, Olumide Ogunade, and Olanrewaju Fasasi (Sound Sultan).
