The entertainment world has yet again been thrown into mourning following the death of Nigerian singer and songwriter, Olanrewaju Fasasi, a.k.a Sound Sultan.

The 44-year-old singer died on Sunday after a hard-fought battle with Angioimmunoblastic T-Cell Lymphoma, a rare type of cancer.

Following the news, tributes have continued to pour in from fans, friends and colleagues across the country including singers, Faze, Femi Kuti, Simi and several others, who have described the news as a rude shock.

Sound Sultan came into the spotlight in the early 2000’s when he released his first single ‘Jagbajantis’, which became an instant hit in Nigeria.

After independently releasing other singles and featuring in hit songs of other artists, he was signed by Kennis Music where he released four of his seven albums.

Many of his songs addressed social issues as they spoke to the challenges going on in the country at the time.

While he will be missed, here are some of his five hit songs that will continue to linger in the hearts of most Nigerians.
