Mathematics by Sound Sultan

Sound sultan who was born Olarewaju Fasasi can be considered as one of the pacesetters of today’s hip-hop. He took a keen interest in music in 1991 and has since then been a trailblazer. He also attributes his early influence to his elder brother Baba Dee, who studied theatre arts.

It became a street anthem Mathematics later won an educational award in 2016 which was16 years after it was released.  The song remains a true classic and even borrows a leaf from Fela Anikulapo Kuti style of deduction and reasoning. Sound sultan in this song addresses the ills of his present society. He mainly attacks the government and the corrupt rich people of his generation and states matter of fact how their corrupt does affect not only our nation Nigeria but the continent at large. The fact that he speaks in Pidgin English which can easily be understood by illiterates and the educated ensures that the song breaks the language barrier.
