Over the years, Patterson has released several more albums, including "After Hours," "Rahsaan Patterson," and "Heroes & Gods." Each album showcases Patterson's unique style and musical talents, as well as his ability to connect with listeners through his lyrics. His songs often touch on themes of love, heartbreak, and personal growth, and they have resonated with audiences around the world.

In addition to his solo work, Patterson has also collaborated with other artists, including Tevin Campbell, Brandy, and Ledisi. He has also been featured on several soundtracks, including the films "How Stella Got Her Groove Back" and "The Best Man."

Patterson's music is often described as timeless, and it is clear that he is a true artist who is dedicated to his craft. He continues to tour and perform around the world, and his fans eagerly await each new release. With his unique voice and sincere lyrics, Rahsaan Patterson has cemented his place in the music industry as a true singer-songwriter.

I’ve only had 2 other videos (@willsmith and @inayah ) do that in the history of my page just so you understand how rare that is for me to see on my timeline.

The #tiktok video of Morgan braiding her husband’s hair is such an inspiration. It’s abundantly clear that she didn’t allow her birth injury to keep her from greatness. Morgan reminds us all just how capable and amazing we can be despite any disability. What an Inspiration she is!⁣⁣
