About S.O

Following the success of his last album Augustine’s Legacy, which was dedicated to his late father and his first child and has now accumulated over 17 million streams on Spotify alone, with support from Essence, Rapzilla, Forbes, GUAP and OkayAfrica, among others, Texas-based international rap artist S.O. is going back to his African roots with his brand new project titled LARRY GINNI CRESCENT. Tracing his footsteps back to his hometown in Nigeria, where he was born and raised, the new project is nostalgically named after the street in Lagos, Nigeria that S.O. lived on as a child called Larry Ginni Crescent.
 Speaking about the inspiration behind his new project, S.O. says, “this is a project that is connected to my African roots – Larry Ginni Crescent is the name of the street I lived on as a child back in Lagos. As a proud Nigerian, I have always loved my heritage, from the food and the language to the music and the culture, and Afrobeats is one of the branches on the Nigerian tree that’s rooted in the diaspora."

 With over 40 million streams, Billboard Chart success and sold-out shows across America, Europe and Africa, S.O. is showing no signs of slowing down anytime soon.
