There is more than one artist with this name:
1) Nana Kwame Abrokwa (born in 5 October 1968 in Accra, Ghana) is a German rapper and DJ, performing under the pseudonyms Nana or Nana / Darkman. Nana is not an actual first name, but a Ghanese title of nobility. His most important achievement came in the second half of the 1990’s, when his style was characterized as “euro-rap” and his lyrics focused on the relationship with God, with his family, or on topics like racism and Holocaust.
Nana arrived in Hamburg with his mother and his brothers at the age of 10. At the beginning of the 90’s, his debut consists of DJ-ing in hip-hop clubs. he also co-produces and raps in some songs of DJ David Fascher (“Here We Go”, “Make The Crowd Go Wild”), under the alias MC Africa True.
Nana’s first solo song was released in late 1996 and was called “Darkman”. The song was a big success in Europe, especially in Germany, Austria, Switzerland & the Benelux. This was a new style of music that Europe saw. This was the beginning of the European Rap & HipHop era. The real breakthrough for NANA came with the next single, “Lonely”. It was a super-hit of 1997 europe-wide. “Lonely”, stayed over 1 month at number 1 in Germany! Nana followed with the singles “Let It Rain”, “He´s Comin´” & “Too Much Heaven” from his debut album “Nana - The Album”. That albums features many acts like Jan VD Toorn, Jonestown, Pappa Bear, Alex Prince & Mazaya, and a lot of other Booya Family members. There are at least 2-3 more hit potentials on the debut album of Nana, and it is concidered as the breakthrough for the European Hip Hop & Rap music.
