Olanrewaju David Ogunmefun, known as Vector Tha Viper, was born on August 7, 1984, in Lagos, Nigeria. A Philosophy graduate of the University of Lagos, he is widely regarded as one of Nigerian hip-hop’s premier lyricists and a two-time Headies “Lyricist on the Roll” winner. He pioneered a sub-genre he calls “Rapfrobeat,” fusing Afrobeat instrumentation with hip-hop lyricism. His catalog spans five studio albums — including State of Surprise (2010), Lafíaji (2016), and Teslìm: The Energy Still Lives in Me (2022) — and collaborations with 2Face Idibia, Davido, Wande Coal, and Nasty C. He holds the African record for longest freestyle rap at approximately two hours and thirty minutes. Brand partners include Sprite, Hennessy Nigeria, and Red Bull. Vector remains one of the most distinctive and enduring voices in African hip-hop. Character count: 889.
