Itâs a "New Day" for RAHM Nation Recordings, LLC

Nina Simoneâs 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. On June 18, 2007 Ohene will release Nina Simone byâ¦This project will mark the first of its kind for a couple of reasons; it is an album entirely 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 Oheneâs. "I wanted the album to have a 'sound,' theme-wise. I wanted it to be an experience, to flow consistently," O explains.

Continuing with the objective of entertaining as well as educating through music, RAHM Nation has set the standard of leading by example instead of preaching into submission. With releases such as âGood Standing,â âPush,â and now âMama Saidâ independent music and musicians alike need to look no further for inspiration than their own colleagues.

Currently available from RAHM Nation Records are The Legend of ⦠The Chancellor, Inner City Soul and The Rapademics.

Labelmate and President of RAHM Nation, Giovanni âG.â Turner, says that this project is a much needed contribution to hip hop especially since the appreciation and respect of women and their contributions are being questioned by mainstream artists and media alike. âThis was an important bridge gapping album â uniting man and woman, young and old, hip-hop and soul.â
