After appearing in a school talent show in 1984, Patterson auditioned for the television show Kids Incorporated. Proving to be "a natural," he undoubtedly landed the part and was cast as "The Kid", remaining on the show for a number of years. Onward and upward, Patterson continued to evolve, gaining experience as a backup vocalist for several artists (including Kids co-star Martika). Following his vocal contributions on Colour Club's self-entitled album, as well as writing for other artists (his credits include Brandy's platinum Top 5 smash "Baby", and Tevin Campbell's hit "Back to the World"), Patterson signed with MCA Records. Collaborating with Keith Crouch and Jamey Jaz, among others, he released his own self-entitled debut in 1997.
Stirring rave reviews, the album launched Patterson into an even larger limelight (with the single "Where You Are" receiving widespread airplay on R&B radio). Patterson, soon after, developed global recognition, as well as a loyal following in the United States and abroad.
Patterson went to work, handcrafting his followup, Love in Stereo, with Jaz and new collaborators such as Van Hunt. When Love in Stereo was released in late 1999, its reviews topped those of its predecessor, slating Patterson as one, of few artists, whose vocal ability was classified as so "distinctive," he need not rely solely on the mainstream music market to gain his footing in the film and music industry, nor afford his music massive, worldwide, international appeal..
Although Patterson's path eventually diverged from MCA's, he remained indispensable amongst industry affiliates, continuing to perform live, working as a session singer, and contributing to both soundtracks (Brown Sugar) and compilation albums (Steve Harvey's Sign of Things to Come), while working on his next album.
After Hours, Patterson's third album, was released internationally early in 2004, again garnering positive reviews. Now, with the conception of his own label, the album released in the United States during late October 2004. Wine & Spirits followed in the Fall of 2007. Wine & Spirits, not only spoke to Patterson's consistency as a versatile, smooth-crooning performer, known for his scintillating, sultry provocative vocal style; but it also, signified, for Patterson, a career of longevity, divinely masterminded from his childhood endeavors to crossing the threshold as a multi-level, music mogul, independently signed, produced and operated. The project further evidenced Patterson's "musical muscularity," spawning itself in such diverse arrangements as the reflective lamentation of "Stars," to the smooth-jazz contours in one of the album's many "feel-good" hits, entitled "Feels Good," to Patterson's resident, high-frequency, timbres, echoing in the uptempo, "Higher Love," which, inevitably, served as the artist's professional and personal testimony of growth, triumph and spiritual ascension.
Patterson's next project, the highly anticipated CD, BLEUPHORIA, is scheduled to drop in the fall of 2010. It is expected to be nothing short of what Patterson's proud fanbase has always enjoyed from him: an astronomical, stellar work of art.

Rahsaan Patterson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yo amanezco a lado tuyo, bebe
Y aun no recuerdo lo que sucedió ayer
Quisiera saber cuál es tu nombre, mujer
Pero que clase de rumba pa pa pa
La que yo cogí anoche que que que
No recuerdo lo que sucedió
La que yo cogí anoche que que que
No recuerdo lo que sucedió
Pero que hora son, qué fue lo que paso
Por qué Farru tiene el carro aparcado en la habitación
Yo no recuerdo, solo se que amaneció
Y que tenia un tatuaje que decía "Peace & Love"
Pero que confusión, creo que cometí un error
Y mezcle los tragos y una pastillitas de color
Que sentimiento creo que tenia un medicamento
De esos que te noquean duro contra el pavimento
Ya son las 6 de la mañana
Y todavía no recuerdo nada
Ni siquiera conozco tu cara
Pero amaneciste aquí en mi cama
Ya son las 6 de la mañana
Y todavía no recuerdo nada
Ni siquiera conozco tu cara
Pero amaneciste aquí en mi cama
Pero que clase de rumba pa pa pa
La que yo cogí anoche que que que
No recuerdo lo que sucedió
Pero que clase de rumba pa pa pa
La que yo cogí anoche que que que
No recuerdo lo que sucedió
Y ya no me acuerdo de nada, no tengo nada en la mente
Solo que estaba tomando mucho ron con aguardiente
Rumbiando en la disco estaba prendido el ambiente
Ese es mi único recuerdo hasta donde estuve consciente
Se acababa la botella y de camino ya venia
J Balvin me estaba hablando y no sabia lo que decía
Creo que nos presentaron, aun no lo se todavía
Que no recuerdo tu nombre mala suerte la mía
Ya son las 6 de la mañana
Y todavía no recuerdo nada
Ni siquiera conozco tu cara
Pero amaneciste aquí en mi cama
Ya son las 6 de la mañana
Y todavía no recuerdo nada
Ni siquiera conozco tu cara
Pero amaneciste aquí en mi cama
Ya esta amaneciendo, el sol saliendo
Yo amanezco a lado tuyo, bebe
Y aun no recuerdo lo que sucedió ayer
Quisiera saber cuál es tu nombre, mujer
Pero que clase de rumba pa pa pa
La que yo cogí anoche que que que
No recuerdo lo que sucedió
Pero que clase de rumba pa pa pa
La que yo cogí anoche que que que
No recuerdo lo que sucedió
In Rahsaan Patterson's song "6AM", the lyrics portray a familiar storyline of a night of confusion and memory loss, leaving the singer attempting to decipher the events of the previous night. The lyrics suggest that the night was filled with excessive drinking and possibly the use of drugs. The singer wakes up next to an unknown woman, unable to recall her name or what had happened the night before. Throughout the song, the singer tries to piece together the events of the night and their actions, but all they can recall is the party atmosphere and the enjoyment of the music.
The lyrics also contain references to J Balvin, implying that the song may have been inspired by a real-life event or night out. The repetition of the phrase "la que yo cogí anoche que que que" creates a rhythmic pattern and emphasizes the party atmosphere of the song. The chorus highlights the confusion and frustration felt by the singer, as they try to make sense of their actions and surroundings.
Overall, the song portrays the reality of excessive partying and the consequences that can come with it. It serves as a reminder to be responsible and mindful of one's actions, especially when consuming alcohol and other substances.
