Desde mediados de los 90 la música negra iba cayendo en picado. Ya estaban los malotes del rap vendiendo millones de discos y matándose entre ellos y cada vez salían artistas con un talento mas que discutible.
Pero un día vimos a este tío; Rahsaan Patterson. Tenía una pinta de tirillas, con esos pelos de loco y era un tanto amanerado, pero nos enganchó de inmediato con su primer vídeo "Stop By". Grabado en pleno corazón de Nueva York y con Rahsaan en plan "maniquí" cantando eso de "nena, vente para aquí, detente, quiero hacerte el amor". Que bueno! El tío tenía un estilazo...
Semanas después ya tenía su primer álbum que me atrapó canción tras canción. Desde entonces han salido 3 Lp's mas (mas uno de villancicos) y todos son absolutamente buenísimos.
Junto con Rahsaan, empezaron a emerger una serie de grandes artistas, que tenían prioridad en la música de calidad por encima de todo lo demás. Nacía el Neo Soul y gente como Maxwell, Erikah Badu, D'Angelo, Tony Toni Toné, Angie Stone, Lauryn Hill o el propio Rahsaan le dieron cuerpo y alma.
