Rocky Dawuni’s “Rise” is nominated in the Best Global Music Performance category at the 67th Grammy® Awards. Speaking on the track’s meaning and purpose, Rocky states: “Rise represents to me a rhythmic call to arms to elevate the energy of hope. It is a song that embraces a diversity of sounds and cultures to forge a soundtrack for these turbulent times. Rise is a call to action for all people to inspire one another through sharing our talent and to keep believing in that spark of divinity that informs our creativity.” A commanding declaration of resilience and empowerment in an increasingly polarized world. Throughout the track, Rocky fervently sings with conviction “Imagine what we could do if we organize? Imagine what we could do if we unify?” Produced by FB Da Mastermind (Nicki Minaj, Ariana Grande) and Nabeyin Panford (Travis Scott, Kanye West, SZA, Drake), ‘Rise’ deftly and tastefully blends the vibrancy of Afrobeat and Highlife music with contemporary Hip-Hop undertones - all of which is further brought to life by Rocky’s impassioned vocal performance evoking an air of optimism and assuredness. Experience RISE.
