Description
Rapturous Apollo Helios, better known as RAH, has been making a name for himself as one of Berlins’ most outstanding rappers, songwriters and vocalists. Originally hailing from Lagos, Nigeria, RAHs music has always been influenced by his environment as well as a rich history of black music from hip hop to soul and, of course, Afrobeat.
The album, entitled Orile To Berlin, marks RAHs migration from the area he grew up in Lagos to the German capital he calls home today. Its an LP steeped in Afrobeat and Highlife but with funk sensibilities and a hip hop attitude. Produced by Jochen Strh, producer for Ebo Taylor and Appia Kwa Bridge, mixing engineer for Pat Thomas and Kwashibu Area Band, it has a strong production pedigree. It represents the bands own version of Afrobeat within the unwritten laws of this music, and without trying to make a Fela Kuti copycat record.
