The Very Good Agency

Raashan Ahmad – check this dude out

Community – The Very Good website is a place for artists and appreciators of those art forms to relax, connect, and check out what is going on in our community in Australia and New Zealand as well as the wider world, so it’s always a pleasure when we hear from artists who have seen our site and taken a moment to say what’s up. This week we heard from Oakland based emcee Raashan Ahmad, and we’re sure that there are some people out there in our community who would like to hear what he has to offer as we did.

Checking out his video for ‘Peace’ (below), one of the comments left summed it up for me… “why isn’t he better known”, well I have a feeling it’s not long until he is. First hitting the scene in 1999 in hip hop group Mission, Raashan has more recently released his debut solo album ‘Push’ showing his own style of feel good upbeats that manage to go a little deeper then your average cat, without taking himself too seriously.

Raashan Ahmad – Peace

It’s always a surprise to come across a talent like this you haven’t seen before, especially when you look a little further and learn he has been collaborating and touring with some of the other fine emcees around like Thes one (People under the stairs), Gift of Gab (Blackalicious), The Mighty Underdogs, and Giant Panda. Either way, sweet as, I have a new emcee to bump this summer and i’m sure I won’t be alone in that.
