R&B singer Raheem DeVaughn treats his fans to a new mixtape entitled Freedom Fighter.
He is the voice of people who have an informed perspective. The Grammy-nominated self-proclaimed neo soul R&B hippie rockstar Raheem Devaughn understands that progress requires the ability to be fearless. On October 15, 2011, alongside colleague/friend/America’s profound thinkers, Dr. Cornell West, and 18 other participants, he was arrested on the steps of the United States Supreme Court for protesting with Occupy DC. As he described his experience as one of the most enlightening moments of his life, it fueled a fire that’s been brewing to be a catalyst for social change. Often compared to Sam Cooke and Marvin Gaye, Raheem has always included a socially-concious message in all of his music. To bring awareness to be the change one wants to see, Raheem Devaughn and DJ Money presents “The Freedom Fighter” featuring all of his socially concious B-Sides with appearances from: Jill Scott, DJ Jazzy Jeff, Min. Louis Farrakhan, Dr. Cornell West, Anthony Hamilton, Chrisette Michele, and others.
