They say that anything can happen in the world of professional wrestling and today WWE Hall of Famer Rikishi decided to share a brand new song with the world.
Rikishi noted that he released the song in honor of The Iron Sheik, and the track features a number of noticeable references to fellow WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan. Earlier today Rikishi posted the song on social media along with the following caption:
“Hip Hop music has always been apart of my life. When I started my wrestling journey, I always had a tape playing in the car on the road from city to city. As I start this new adventure in music, I wanted to pay homage to the hip hop and reggae artists that motivated me throught the years.
During my run as ‘The Sultan’, I was managed by the legendary Hall of Famer, The Iron Sheik. We bonded during that time learning about each other’s cultures and lifestyles. A few years later, I let him hear a song called ‘Lean Back’ by Fat Joe and the Terror Squad. Sheik was amazed by the Middle Eastern sound and it was one of my favorite songs to jam to on the road. In honor of him, Big Uce returns as The Sultan and going after one of his sworn enemies.
R.I.P. Sheiky Baby.
Thank you to Frankie Braggadocio @frankiebraggadocio, @1m.valentine , and @hieranarchymediagroup Hieranarchy Media Group for helping me put this one together.”
