French rap artist Soultouane Benjadid, aka Sultan, released his first demo at age 17, and started a hip- hop duo named Holster with his cohort Ibrahim (I.B.R.), in 2004. Going solo, he released the mixtapes Mode Crime and La Sul'tendance, before he signed to S-Kal Records in 2011 for Ils Sont Pas Prets, and 2012's Des Jours Meilleurs. ~ Jason Lymangrover
