Santa Sallet is a rapper, producer, and businessman based in Washington, DC. Nostalgic for hip-hop’s golden era, and inspired by a worldly upbringing, Sallet’s sound is confident, versatile, and playful. Unified by a consistent flow and anecdotal lyrics, his self-produced mixtape “Plutography” is experimental and eclectic, blending salsa beats, southern trap, and eastern jazz with classic and conventional rap samples. Storytelling through rap, Sallet’s first three albums chronicle his failures and successes with money, relationships, and music. His first album “C.R.E.A.M”, along with accompanying mixtape “Plutography”, recounts his journey from broke to financially free. His successive albums “Women” and “R.A.P.”, also with accompanying mixtapes, describe his pursuit of success in relationships and the music industry. Sallet counts rappers Busta Rhymes, Method Man, Redman and Will Smith as creative influences. Busta Rhymes holds particular weight - as a child in South Africa, Sallet saw the “Gimme Some More” music video on TV after school and was instantly struck. He soon started rapping, and after moving to Johannesburg and enrolling at the French school, began producing beats with long-time collaborator and French producer Nemizzo. Together they founded Mugisha Sallet Productions (MSP). This year, Santa Sallet is coming in hot.
