Philadelphia-based musician and artist, Ohene, sings his hope that your divine reality shatters your dreams of fleeting celebrity. It’s an important word, and especially important to fellow independent musicians. From his debut project, I Am Ohene, here’s “If You Only Knew”. If the name is familiar to you, you may remember his performance on B. Slade™’s song, “Kick”, which we’ve also featured here on the site.

Love this song. It’s deceptively radio friendly, but upon closer listen, the lyrics and instrumentality is much more complex than the average Top 40s single.
Agree with the Professor. I think Ohene is one of the artists ‘providing’ the nice sounds, but (sometimes literally) ‘giving’ you the lyrical food for though. Where is the repeat function….
Ohene, you have done it again. You are a lyrical phenomena, a force to be reckoned with. Continue to drop the knowledge to the beat…the world is ready for the movement!
Lovin’ that retro Motown old school/new school beat. This cat is the truth! A perfect post for the beginning of Black Music Month!
Loving this track it takes me back to the 70′s listening to artist that cared about the conditions of the world…Ohene is a combination of Marvin Gaye, Curtis Mayfield & Prince rolled into run with a profound message to the world.
I love Ohene’s music. I have been a fan of his for several years. It has been enjoyable to watch his musical evolution. His genius is unparalleled in all musical genres.
This song is catchy and true. I have so much appreciation for musical complexity and lyrical content.
