“They say I’m like Big Daddy Kane from the past…” —-Rahsaan, “In My V”
“Old school slang I’m gonna bring right on back” are the words in Rahsaan’s song “Hold On” that best describe the poet’s intention. Entering the rap game with a debut album, Rahsaan has a flow and a mission that harkens back to the early days of hip-hop, bringing forth realness and heartfelt stories through rhyme. Rahsaan is a hip-hop child, born into the soul of music. “I was blessed with the gift of song-writing and an understanding of the impact music can have on people,” he muses. His tremendous love of the culture has helped shape his desire to entertain and educate through words.
As the articulate voice of Generation X, Rahsaan has thus far led an incredibly storied career, by creating the perfect balance to embody commercial marketability and artistic substance. Affectionately known in the streets as “God’s Favorite Rapper,” Rahsaan’s lyrical talent coupled with undeniable dedication has made this Georgetown, Guyana native, this generation’s version of Big Daddy Kane. But this is not your typical “every rapper has big dreams” story. This talented MC is a hip-hop child nurtured through the soul of music. Born in Georgetown, Guyana, his vision of society began in the heart of a country enduring endless political violence and corruption; a country where countrywide blackouts 2-3 times/week became the norm. He developed a strong sense of patriotism being the last in his family to be born in Guyana and frequently pays homage to the culture that birthed him, hence the name of his debut album, GEORGETOWN.
