Raahiem is a London-based collective that formed around vocalist Raahiem Bonner, multi-instrumentalist Jaheim HoSang, and vocalist Andreya Triana. Their self-titled debut album arrived in 2013, mixing soul, hip-hop, and electronic textures. A song like 'You Love Me' from that period shows their early approach to themes of identity and connection.
By 2018, they'd shifted toward more experimental territory with their second album, 'Saturn.' The track 'Peak (Fed Up)' from that record became particularly noted for its direct lyrical focus on social frustration. Their music often draws commentary for its engagement with topics of inequality, though the group itself tends to keep a fairly steady, low-profile presence outside the recordings.
They haven't released a major project since 'Saturn,' and their catalog remains a modest two albums. The work is defined by Bonner's vocal delivery, HoSang's production, and Triana's harmonies, creating a sound that feels both intimate and deliberately crafted.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
