Raphael Ashanti, a singer-songwriter formely of the urban gospel trio The Priest, The Prophet & The Poet currently resides in Pensacola, Florida, USA. He‘s a soulful gemstone who has been on the independent scene for more than 20 years. His latest single released to radio and going for adds “Welcome To South Florida” is a collaboration and feature with South Florida Hip Hop sensation Dirty Dankk. This mid-tempo rhythmic anthem is a touching tribute to the culture of South Florida. Raphael has been described by Grammy nominated producer Steve Allen as “one of the best independent artist I’ve worked with.”
In 2012 Raphael was able to release a single, a love ballad “Inside My Tears” to a regional audience. It would be three years before Raphael would began writing and producing his first full solo album “Love & Life.” His first single ‘Hollywood Bound’ from the very diverse project garnered considerable airplay and impressive rankings on four national charts. National Airplay Top 200 Chart - 11/8/2014 - No. 109; National Airplay Top 50 Pop Chart - 10/25/2014 - No. 45; National Airplay Top 50 Independent Chart 10/25/2014 – No. 7; and spent three consecutive weeks at No. 11 on the National Airplay Top 50 R&B/Hip-Hop Chart 10/25/2014 – 11/8/2014. And now, with the release of the brand new single “Welcome To South Florida” (Anthem), Raphael has confidence that it will have similar or even better results with its intended audience.

Welcome To South Florida (Anthem)A Southern Fried Anthem inclusive of extreme South Florida pride with representation of sports teams from colleges to professionals along with recognizable celebs who have contributed in some way large or small to help keep South Florida buzzing on the map. -
Let Me BeA really emotional acoustic introduction, a great story line, the lyrics are real to life, an excellent music track. A song that doesn't fit into any category, it has elements of hip hop, pop, and r&b. Overall a good song with musical diversity and great lyrics that are thought provoking and unapologetic.
