So stepping into the world of the Hip-Hop/R&B culture, we are taking a step back in time to some classic sounding Vibes with Daraja Hakizimana's Art Music. Raised in Southern Houston, Texas he has strong roots with the Pan African Orthodox church (where he was given his name) and was nurtured by the warm and sophisticated tones of such artists like Marvin Gaye, 2Pac, and Sade. The sound he has developed since he was young is very much his own. Combined elements of R&B and Hip-Hop, Jazz and a little Dance, Darajas unique blend makes him sound like a true artist. The lyrical content is poetically rich and uses life experiences of love, politics, self-reflection and other themes to create interesting and emotion driven music. Over the years from his early projects, he has fallen, jumped back and due to the state of the industry, turned to going at composing, producing and launching his music independently with his own label My Block Recordz. Nine or so albums later
