Nasseman

Rabbie Nassrallah (born 1979), who is better known as Nasseman, is a Liberian reggae singer, songwriter, and activist. He gained recognition after releasing the 2015 single "Till We Meet Again", which was written to honor his mentor Ras Katata. Raised in Monrovia, he lived through Liberia's first and second civil war and witnessed the killing and destruction caused by rival warlords. Nasseman started performing when he was 11 years old. He opened for Akon when the singer performed in Liberia in 2006, and was one of the headline acts at Ellen Johnson Sirleaf's 2006 presidential inauguration. Nasseman's song "Bonkey" was released in 2012 and recognized with a prize at the Fair Play Anti-Corruption music competition, which was arranged by International Anti-Corruption Conference participants. He went to the University of Liberia campus in December 2015 to witness Accountability Lab's Corruption Must Go musical campaign, and performed his pan-African anthem "All Africans" at the event. In 2019, Nasseman released the single "Who Stole the Money?", along with its music video. In an interview with the Daily Observer newspaper, Nasseman said he released the song in order to reawaken the public's interests in the L$16 billion that went missing in a shipping container the previous year. A blend of reggae and rock, the song was released on April 29, 2022. He wrote the song himself and Master Lzee of Las Vegas Studios mixed it. Lyrically, the record addresses some of the missteps of the Weah administration and chronicles the positives of the president's career thus far. He also served as an HIV/AIDS ambassador in 2010. He performed with rapper Takun J and singer Peaches during a three-day county tour that included stops in Grand Bassa and Bong counties. The movement is supported by several artists, including Choc Quib Town, Alika, and Dubioza Kolektiv. Nasseman considers his music to be a "vehicle for change", and has included love ballads and club songs on his albums.
