Where did it come from?
R&B singer Raja-Neé.
(The SSA omits spaces and ignores non-first-letter capitals, which explains why the name is rendered “Rajanee” in the dataset.)
Raja-Neé’s most successful single, “Turn It Up,” was released in the fall of 1994. It was featured on the soundtrack to the 1994 movie A Low Down Dirty Shame, and it peaked at #31 on Billboard‘s Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart in mid-December.
