R.I.P Sway Dasafo

[wardy]

One of the best the UK ever produced in rap music has died aged 44 in Ghana.

He was a pioneer in the 00's, always sporting a union jack bandana but kept his Ghanaian roots in his music & fashion. Songs like Little Derek, Flo Fashion & Up Your Speed broke through the underground, he won a Mobo for best Hip Hop act beating 50 Cent & Jay-Z while being independent, one of the only few at that time to get US approval.

Lupe Fiasco worked with him many times & said he was one of his fave artists.

He got an Akon & Konvict Music co sign, had tracks with Akon, Styles P, Chamillionaire, Ed Sheeran, Giggs, Kano & many others.

More than that though he has a catalogue full of deep cuts, bangers & lyrical gems.

Long Live Sway Dasafo 🕊🇬🇧🇬🇭
