Om: Hip Hop recording artist Raashan Ahmad just dropped a little treat by the office, ‘Soul Power.’ In between the release of his first solo record ‘THE PUSH’ and the next Crown City Rockers record (released this Fall), Raashan created a 13 track release consisting of all brand new tracks mostly recorded in 2009. Stemming from a result to add new songs to his live show, Soul Power features Aceyalone, Wafeek from St. Louis, Ragen Fykes and production from Woodstock, Headnodic, Kat O1O and more.

Soul Power
Not an album, not a mixtape , not an E.P.

Some words from Raashan Ahmad:

Thirteen original songs mostly recorded in early 2009. After touring the United States to promote my first solo album The Push, I discovered that I wanted to add more bangin’ songs to my live set. Soul Power is the result. When I I say “soul power”, I’m talking about about what gives my soul, my spirit power—which is music! This project was especially born out of all that I learned being on the road so I have to give thanks to the folks who have made me feel at home while away from home; who have blessed me with food, shelter, ciphers, laughter, conversation, money, memories, general nonsense, and love. Also mad thanks to the artists who blessed this project with their talent. Please support! Lastly check out all the projects coming from my Crown City Rockers crew! Our new album coming in the Fall 2009. Hit me up and let me know what you think.
Peace – Raashan
