We know Senegal for its hospitality, democracy , the  » Senegalese Terenga « , but also and evermore for its sound ambassador DJ R.A.K.I.M .

 

Since 2003 , the year where Rakim gave his professional debut , he is cruising all over Senegal where especially the youth adore him .

It is actually a radio show the youngster used to listen to which paved the way to Rakim´s glorious future as DJ/ VJ/ Radio Personality .   » Soxna Fm  » to be precise , hosted by a certain Carl Rogers ( Rakim´s mentor afterwards) . Fascinated by

Rogers´skills , Rakim knew instantly he wants to become a radio host more than anything else.

 

He launches his own show  » No way out  » with a huge popularity in Senegal and abroad . That´s when the first collaborations & request came in . In 2005 , he finally organizes his first party ( a huge success ) and raises from  » Rakim  » to  » DJ Rakim  » . He brings a fresh touch, his touch, to the entertainment’s world. He´s actually the only person, who marries two cultures in his mixes: the American culture and the Senegalese culture. From 50 cent to Mbaye ièye Faye, from Hip hop – dirty South to mbalax, Rakim is the one who dares to push the button to his limit, and those of his big brothers. On the radio, microphone champ innovates and the audience wants more..

 

DJ Rakim works closely with top Senegalese artists , entertaining them and their guests at cultural events & private parties . The buzz is made, Rakim is trending

everywhere . That´s how he ends up headlining exclusive events at high ranked clubs ( Sénat night club, Le Mandigo, Le K Club, Le Tropic Night Club in Dakar ), corporate events ( Nokia, Caseeworld, Satrec Vitalait , Televison 2s TV )   as well as A-list artists concert opening . Everybody wants RAKIM .

 

After Dakar´s conquete , Rakim expands his activities all over the country ,

leaving no one indifferent . He aspires to inspire and is very close to his audience.

Wether it´s via social medias ( Facebook / Twitter ) , live streams  or radio , DJ Rakim engages you in his journey .

He even stars in a soap called  » Dakar Style  » as lead character , portraying all kinds of youth problems .

Particularely connected to the young generation , he not only divers them but also educates them .

 

October 2008 Rakim decides to face Europe . He settles down in Belgium, Brussels where he works hard for his first residency at Duke´s Club , a famed spot of the capital . Other demands from spots like Le You, La Bodéga, Le Coeur à Coeur, Le Kanadou, le Nexx, Urban Café, l’Ecume, Le Déjà Vu, Le Be Café, etc… quickly follow . And the Senegalese diaspora in Belgium requests him too for their events.

 

Today Rakim´s plans go further . He does not limit himself to his achievements .

DJ / Radio host / Promoter / VJ – whats next ? Time will tell !
