Artist Bio:

South General, born David Adewale Adeboyega, is a Lagos-born rap phenom and Afro fusion artist known for his hard-hitting bars, lyrical depth, and unapologetic voice. Although raised in the heart of Lagos, he earned the moniker “The King of the South” from his dominant presence and influence across southern Nigeria’s underground and mainstream rap scenes.

Inspired by the streets, life’s battles, and African resilience, South General’s music weaves between raw hip hop and cultural Afro rhythms. His 2024 album “The Return of the Flying Monkey” is a powerful testament to his evolution and fight for expression in a system that often silences truth.

With breakout tracks like “Douleur” ft. dhz, “Smoking Gun” ft. Flow D, and “Pressure” ft. Crinerry, South General is more than an artist — he’s a voice for the unheard, a fighter for the culture, and a general in the game.
