Sauti Sol will be looking to break into the international market following this deal. Already, their discography is stacked with timeless gems such as "Melanin" (featuring Patoranking) and "Sura Yako."

Their music is an amalgam of traditional African music, Kenyan folk, R & B, and Afro Pop. They have four albums to their credit with the most recent being Afrikan Sauce, their 2019-released collaboration-heavy project.
