With a voice that cuts through the noise and a sound rooted in street grit and Afro rhythm, Nigerian rap artist South General is drawing widespread attention in the music scene. Born David Adewale Adeboyega, the Lagos-based rapper—dubbed “The King of the South”—has reemerged with his latest album, The Return of the Flying Monkey (2024), cementing his place as one of the country’s most original and unapologetic voices in hip hop and Afro fusion.
South General blends raw, streetwise lyricism with rich African melodies, carving a unique identity in Nigeria’s evolving rap landscape. Raised in Lagos but hailing from Oyo State, he channels both urban struggle and cultural pride into tracks that resonate across class and community lines.
His latest project, The Return of the Flying Monkey, is a conceptual body of work centered on resilience, social defiance, and personal survival. It features hard-hitting collaborations like “Douleur” ft. dhz, a soul-baring rap ballad; “Smoking Gun” ft. Flow D, a dark, percussive banger; and “Pressure” ft. Crinerry, which unpacks themes of ambition and societal pressure.
Renowned for his electrifying performances and lyrical authenticity, South General’s stage presence is magnetic—fusing Afro percussion with hip hop storytelling. “I don’t just rap to entertain. I rap to elevate, challenge, and reflect the truth,” he says.
An independent artist, South General is steadily building his audience through digital platforms, with his music available on Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube. His latest single “Douleur” is gaining traction among fans and critics for its emotional honesty and poetic delivery.
With his bold voice and fearless approach, South General continues to rise as a cultural force, proving that street poetry and Afro fusion can command both attention and respect.
