En lenguaje claro
This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia Senate rather than a bill that changes state law. It honors Micaiah Raheem, an Atlanta-based rapper known as Raheem the Dream, recounting his career from performing at high school talent shows to becoming, in 1986, the first rap artist to receive regular radio rotation in the Atlanta market. The resolution recaps his musical milestones, including national airplay in the early 1990s and recognition from the Atlanta City Council and then-Mayor Kasim Reed, who gave him the Phoenix Award in 2016. The Senate formally commends him and directs the Secretary of the Senate to provide a copy of the resolution to him. It carries no funding, penalties, or changes to Georgia law.
