Album Notes

Not since Marvin Gaye poignantly told of his inner-city blues has an artist commanded the attention of heartland, urban areas & gated communities alike. Ohene speaks to the masses with his latest release Inner City Soul, a follow up to his nationally acclaimed & worldwide recognized The Rapademics. Ohene not only shows maturity as an emcee but proves his production & song arrangement skills have advanced as well. Bringing the graceful & compelling vocal talents of Nasheeda Shockley on such Hip-Hop ballads as "They Killed Jesus" & "Hello Stranger," Ohene fluently delivers tales of race & social concerns with a concise tone & paints a clear & vivid picture. On other songs such as "Church Girl" & "Move" realistic & empathy-worthy scenes are embedded in listeners' hearts and minds. Inner City Soul reaches beyond the cities' alleys & cracked pavements; with tracks like "Say a Little Prayer," it graces the porches of every rural establishment & trots along even cobblestone laid streets of quiet communities. Not only bringing the past to light, Inner City Soul embodies the welfare of our current state & demands a change for the future, for the better.
