Sadat X

Sadat X, (born Derek Murphy) is a member of Brand Nubian, and was one of the key MCs whose messages were inspired by the Five Percent Nation. Two years after Brand Nubian’s third album, Everything Is Everything, he made his solo debut with Wild Cowboys, which built
on his lyrical reputation on top of tough, jazz-inflected arrangements. With a full-time job as a special-education teacher, it took five years before his next album, 2005’s Experience & Education, was released. The sequel to his debut album, Wild Cowboys II appeared in 2010, then Love, Hell or Right followed in 2012. A three-year gap war- ranted the title of his next album, 2015’s Never Left, and then Agua (2016).
