Nina
Simone’s works have influenced an abundance of performers and entertainers.
Names such as Alicia Keys and Amy Whinehouse even list this blues and raspy
artist as one of their favorites, however while many artists pay tribute to
their influences with a cover or invite the celebrity to be featured on their
projects, RAHM Nation recording artist Ohene is setting strides once again in
the progressive arena of musical development.
This
project will mark the first of its kind for a couple of reasons; it is an album
entirely created and inspired by the work and life of Nina Simone and it will
only be available via internet.
Fans
have enjoyed The Rapademics and Inner City Soul, but this
artistic and eclectic collage of musical works will introduce yet another
talent of Ohene’s. Click here to order.
Ohene Remembers 2Pac 10 Years After His Passing 
I
just wanted to share a few thoughts on Tupac though eventually I plan
to pay a much greater tribute.
I
first heard a Tupac song that made me really take notice of his work not until
I was a teenager. The song was "My Block". I remember it being on The
Show soundtrack and me sneaking into my uncle's room to use his cd player.
I was rushing through the cuts when I heard the song. It was particularly
his voice that caught my attention and I remember leaving the room saying “That
guy is gonna be a legend." Honestly it was the first rap song I
had ever felt. It wasn't long after I had heard that song that Tupac was
shot, and days later died. I remember the feeling I had when he passed. I felt
like there was the biggest void, like there was a hole in Hip-Hop. I
believe that, every so often the stars line up and give us a Mozart, a
Coltrane, a Bob Marley, a Marvin, a Bruce Lee and individuals like
Tupac who are a blessing for those of us lucky enough to behold physically,
and the rest of us only to wish we lived in their time.
Pac, I
can't count the times I've defended you in debates; I can't count the times I
have quoted your rhymes. I have both laughed and cried with a man I never
met, yet refer to as my big brother. So this is just a trifle, I'll be thanking
you for the rest of my life, every time I write a verse, every time I record
over dubs; it's an ode to the rose that grew from concrete. I ain't mad at ya.
