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 home to 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.

Speaking on the track’s meaning and purpose, Rocky said: “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. My aim is to strike a deep chord that will instill a sense of connectedness in humanity.”

The single’s accompanying video was directed by Emmanuel and Samuel Appiah Gyan, who together are better known as acclaimed photography duo Twinsdntbeg.

History of Burger Highlife:

Ghanaians in Germany created a secular style of Highlife that combined the genre with funk, disco, and synth-pop. It is believed it was called ‘Burger Highlife’ because the largest communities of Ghanaians resided in Hamburg. The music became associated with migrants who would travel between Germany and Ghana.

Iconic Highlife Musician, George Darko, was known as the “King of Burger Highlife”. The exceptionally talented guitarist and vocalist revolutionized Highlife music and produced hit songs such as ‘Akoo Te Brofo,’ ‘Money Palaver,’ ‘Oseeyie,’ and ‘Odo Colour’ — he sadly passed away in 2024.
