Sagat is a moniker used by American rapper Faustin Maxim Moran Lenon. He is best known for the underground hit "Funk dat" or as I call the "Why is it..." rant! A cleaner version for radio was released and eventually made the top 40 in the UK. It was never established whether his name was garnered from the Street fighter character of the same name.
