人物介绍
NANA全名Nana Kwame Abrokwa，艺名Nana Darkman。  NANA于1968年10月5日出生在加纳。身于富有家庭的NANA在孩提时却失去了父亲，十岁的时候，他跟随他母亲、兄弟姐妹一起去了德国。这一去，改变了他的生活，nana学到了很多新的东西。从幼年开始，nana酷爱音乐，他从中学毕业后，当了一名dj。他也在叫做MC Africa True的别名下融合了饶舌在DJ David Fascher里的一些歌中（我们开始吧，让人们发狂）。
1995年，他作为一个说唱歌手加入了由Bülent Aris 和 Toni Cottura创作的欧陆歌曲黑暗计划。他们创建了名为“darkness”的俱乐部，主打歌曲为“in my dreams”。制作人为Toni Cottura.这个音乐系列的编曲由Bulent担当。Nana在这些作品中有着他精彩的、口齿伶俐的rap表演，风格上更类似于欧式的士高舞曲。Nana的艺名Darkman源于此处。但是Nana对Darkness采用的风格并不满意，于是这个团体解散了。
1996年，Toni Cottura一伙人建立了Black Music label Booya Music，Nana作为其中一员加入Booya Family。
1997年，Nana发行了第一张专辑《NANA》，获得巨大成功，使Nana一炮走红。  
1998年，Nana发行了第二张专辑《Father》同样受欢迎。
1999年，由于Toni cottura和Bulen的想法发生冲突，而Nana又想转投新的唱片公司旗下，Booya Family解体了。Nana在新公司xtra large录制了他的第三张专辑。其中的《I wanna fly like an eagle》于当年十一月发行，这是一首关于自由的出色作品。
2001年，他在德国推出了rap风格的单曲《Du wirst sehen》(《你将会看到》).这支单曲依然取得了成功。
2003年，Nana换了新的搭档，卖力工作。现在，它拥有自己的录音室，录音室的名字就叫“Darkman records”,原计划把下一张专辑的名字定为《God‘s Plan》，但在2004年发行时，取名为《All Doors In Flight NO.7》。
2007年，Nana把以前的经典歌曲整理在一起，发行专辑《The Best》。
2008年，发行专辑《12 Y.O.》。这张12 Y.O.分为双CD，其中CD2特别命名为believe,CD1主要为前两张专辑08重新演绎版本及几首新歌，CD2为新歌及04年专辑中的几首歌曲及混音版歌曲。
2009年，Nana卷土重来，发行专辑《Stand Up》。[1]

热门歌曲
Lonely很多人都误解《Lonely》的那个女声是Nana（难怪误会，很女性化的名字，国内居然翻译成娜娜，有些误导），其实中间唱RAP的男声才是Nana，才是主角，女声是Sibela，建议看看歌词，可以说，没中间的大段RAP，《Lonely》也许只是一首很普通的歌而已。

Rap1: 
Dreams sometimes i ask the lord why 
Mama back again in my dreams you are alive 
I don't know reality of fiction 
I guess you and the lord guiding on my mission 
Who am i an actor or musician 
Dreaming all these years finally the right decision 
I can't breathe my mind is wide open
Nightmares in the night bedsheet like an ocean 
Sleeping deep i can hear god speak
Your life in my hands check the bible read and preach 
My eyes open begin to realize 
I am still in my dreams who's the man in disguise 
I start trippin' think a sec about the kitchen
Have to face the fact about my future reputation 
In addition minimize my ambition
Lord wake me up change my situation 
Chorus × 1 
Bridge: 
Life is too short too short to live in anger 
Can't stand these negative vibes 
Life is too short too short to live with danger 
Please help me god to survive
Can′t just stand these negative vibes 
Won′t you help me god to survive 
Can′t just stand these negative vibes 
Rap 2. 
Dreams i just can't explain
They bug me out make me trip in so many ways， 
I want the truth nothing but the truth 
Entire 411 i am goin' back to my roots ， 
Woop woop that's the sound of the police
Young gifted black i am down on my knees
Irritated lost nowhere to go 
Help me please rescue me i am losing control 
The show must go on i wanna have my piece of cake
Seperate good from the bad and fake
Snakes always wanna ride your jack and place 
Their behinds in your face dispossess your space
In my dreams i see a picture of your face。 
Life is too short b take a break。 
I wish good luck for you and yours 
Dreams see me walking through that door。 
Chorus × 1 
Could you ease my pain and show me good things is my life
Could it be that i′m just to blind, 
Life is to short, 
To short to live in anger, 
Please help me god to survive
Still talking in my dreams, ， 
Without you life is not what it seams

Always believe in what ever you say or do 
That's the point that's why I can't say I love you 
I got more than a thousand problems on my mind 
I'm coming' from the dark and light's so hard to find 
Can't concentrate I steady loose control 
The pain in my brain make me wanna explode 
Like the fugees day and night searching' for the score 
To bring the vibes I'll be the key to your door 
It all started off with a glass of wine 
But now I need nine to feel fine before I sign 
Somebody help me or else I'm gonna die 
Don't be shy ask why before passing' me by 
The best things in life is what I heard are free 
Michael Jackson will definately tell you the story 
It's the darkman 
flowing' of the mic 
With the flava in your ear to be or not to be 
Oh can you hear him coming' 
Is the darkman you better keep running'

it′s the darkman 
comin′ for your ass boy 
I take a look in the mirror I see somethin' wrong 
Last year I was strong somebody please blow the horns 
Daily survival tactics and I pray 
Dear lord forgive me and show me the way 
To the light and the place called paradise 
No matter when or how it I should I'll fight 
You better be ready before you come to the ringside 
No tears my friend only the strong survive 
It always comes hard and direct in my face but my man 
That the deal that the rule of the game that we play 
Everyday 
what can I say 
Real brothers don't die 'till they get their peace of the cake 
Go for it go get yours stay on the course 
Physical force like a rebel no doubt without a pause 
Darkman flowing' on the mic 
With the flava in your ear to be or not to be 
Oh can you hear him coming' 
Is the darkman you better keep running' 
Oh can you hear him coming'

knocking′ at your door 
you know you got the score 
mama always said son you reep what you sow 
But today now I know I can feel it through my body and soul 
Separate 
the good from the bad 
You better do your own thing 
than ending up sad 
It made me bad 
I didn't have the chance to ask dad 
Nightmares in my sleep I wake up frightened and scared 
Who cares 
a boy in young years all I wanted was to see the Light 
in full gear 
Yeah 
here I come here I am here I slam 
Rolling' with the clique with another dope party jam 
Look for what you want and finally succeed and believe 
Your dream will come true yes indeed 
Make a small step forward than a big step back 
Any other direction will probably break your neck 
It's the darkman Flowing' on the mic 
With the flava in your ear to be or not to be 
Oh can you hear him coming' 
Is the darkman you better keep running' 
Oh can you hear him coming'

In my brain, let it rain, let it rain,
All this pain in my brain, oh, it drives me insane
In God's name all this pain is a shame
Wake up in the morning I got sleep in my eyes
I feel bad,
Nobody gives a damn about a black brother,
There's no other like my mother,
We speak everyday not in sense of words but pray,
Check it, ten years ago died of brain cancer,
And went to heaven,
1997 rollin' with the family Booya music,
My peeps y'all representing,
Runnin' everyday from the pain let it go away
It's drivin' me insane not to my dying day
High from the sky rain wash away my pain
And maintain
I can use my brain to play the game,
It's a shame, try to figure out who I blame
When a child is born mom and daddy need a change
Like a window needs a frame and the sugar to the cane
Like a baby has a name
(chorus)x1
2:35 in the night, can't sleep, see me struggling,
Sheets in my bed full of sweat, got to keep hustling,
One and one is two and not three,
The pain will release 'cause in God I believe,
Yes, the only way in life to succeed is be blessed,
Free your mind from head to toe and get dressed,
Fresh express what you have in your chest unless
You want to put me to the test,
Chicken breast, to be or not to be
Is the big quest', Federal Republic of Germany
Of course the West,
Now you think that you know where we're coming from,
Wipe away your tears little sister pray to God,
One day rain will come by your way,
Don't ever lose hope, nature gives and takes,
No fuss, ashes to ashes and dust to dust
